Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

In Minearverse:
NoiseDesign: All of the executives I've worked with are so isolated and out in fantasy land they wouldn't get the news if 10,000 fans stood in front of their office and lit themselves on fire.
victor infante: Which, actually, I think is one of the strike "fun themes" scheduled for next week.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
Polter Cow asked about Laurell K. Hamilton and got answers. Lots of answers.
PC: (quotes askye) Anita has to have sex with Richard or die.
How ... does that work, exactly?
Dana: Oh, you are going to be so sorry you asked.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Natter collectively decides that Cookies Are Forever (edited/shuffled a bit to make sense):
Nora Dierdre - Hm, I bought a cookie to eat tonight before my class. However, I want it now. What to do?
(What would DeBeers Do?)
Gudanov - Convince someone else that the cookie is worth $1000, you sell it, then you use the money to start a cookie-baking sweatshop, and have all the cookies that you want.
Nora Deirdre - Oops. I et it up already! I am such a bad planner.
bon bon - De Beers would tell you to keep the cookie forever as both (a) an investment and (b) a sign of love, fidelity, and apparently, Victorian hopes and dreams. And then they would make it impossible to dispose of the cookie.
Gudanov - To be fair, who really wants to toss their cookies?
brenda m - Never forgetting that you must upgrade to a larger and shinier cookie every few years or all of the above is meaningless.
Jesse - You'll clearly need an even better cookie before class.
Gudanov - Which is determined by the four Cs; crispiness, chocolate content, chewiness, and circularity.
Nora Deirdre - Stupid DeBeers! I want my cookie now! I am terrible with dessert-related waiting games of cunning and patience.
I agree with Jesse that I ought to get a second cookie for later.
Sparky1 - DeBeers will also tell you you'll need a cookie for your other hand.
bon bon - Because of FEMINISM!
Jesse - Nora, obviously you're an independent modern woman who NEEDS a second cookie. I mean, really. If you're going to stand up for anything in this world, it's a right-hand cookie.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
tommyrot: The Most Shocking Things Ever Found Inside Of A Dog’s Stomach
Knives, choke chain, wii controller....
Juliette Piesley, 39, had changed the battery in her electronic key fob but was then unable to start her car.
When AA patrolman Kevin Gorman arrived at the scene in Addlestone, Surrey, he found its immobiliser chip was missing.
Ms Piesley said her dog George had eaten something, and realising it was the chip, he put the dog in the front seat and started the car with the key.[…]
“They will now have to take George [the dog] with them in the car until things take their natural course.
brenda m: That dog is a hero to all dog-kind.

In Natter:
Strega:
I would love it if my company did PTO and/or allowed donations. Because I have 300+ hours of sick leave, and that's just silly.
Jesse:
You better get pregnant ASAP, Strega.
Strega:
...And suddenly I feel reconciled to letting all that sick leave go unused.

erikaj: Considering that my mother used to tell me the kid-friendler parts of her crime fiction books, most of my costumes involved bath towels or plastic noses, but one year she and her friend paid somebody at school to make my friend and me Halloween costumes. My poor kid would probably end up wearing a sign that said "Shepherd". I think you can beat that, Susan.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
Susan W. in Bitches on her daughter's desire to appear in a school Christmas Pageant as a Pirate, and accepting the compromise of Pirate-Shepherd:
I mentioned the "pirate shepherd" thing on another board and got the following response:
And there were in the same country pirate shepherds, abiding in the crow’s nest, keeping watch over their ship by night. And lo, the pirate angel of the Lord appeared before them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they said, “Arrrrrrrrr!,” for they were sore afraid. And the pirate angel said unto them, “Avast me hearties! Fear not, for I bring ye tidings of great joy, which shall be to all: salty sea dogs and scallywags and wenches and bilge rats and landlubbers alike. For unto ye is born this day in yon City of David a savior, which is Christ the Lord.
I sent it to DH, and he responded with:
Suddenly a great company of the heavenly buccaneers appeared with the pirate angel, praising God and singing the sea shanty,
"Yo! Ho! Glory to God!
and on earth be peace on those he favors,
Yo Ho Ho and a bottle of rum!"
