msbelle: does my cordless apple mouse really need Lithium batteries?
Cass: Does it have mood swings?
Walking I get. But power walking? Why not just run for a shorter time?

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
NoiseDesign: I am so tired. The ship just got back to Cape Canaveral.
Daniel C. Jensen: Space travel will do that to you.

Dana: But this is a show where hot snarky guys make out on a regular basis, so maybe if I close my eyes and wish hard enough, all my dreams will come true.

I just found out that the actor who plays Sylar in Heroes is playing Spock in the new Star Trek movie.
How did I miss that one?

It was the only explanation I could come up with regarding the fact that they had absolutely no idea how involved women are with the net, from soup to kicking them in the nuts.

but mommy gave me vodka and I'm feeling much better now.
If so, someone has earned the good mother award!

Movies:
Miracleman: So, this is how incredibly geeky me and my buddy Steve are:
I go over to his place and he excitedly shows me the Star Trek movie trailer, where it's just guys building the Enterprise. Welding, sparks flying and stuff...neat.
And I turn to him and say "Are they building that thing on a planet?"
He nods, his eyes lighting up; he was thinking what I was thinking. "Yep."
"But...it's been established it had to be built in orbit!"
"Yep."
"It would crush itself under its own weight under planetary gravitation!"
"Yep."
"Even Mars' roughly 1/3 Earth normal gravity. Crunch!"
"Yep."
"What the fuck is the matter with them?!"
"That's what I said!"
Aimee looks at Jen (Steve's wife), rolls her eyes and says "Who cares?"
Steve and I gape at her.
Girls.
tommyrot: I had that same conversation in my own head. Except there were no girls.

Ranting in Bitches:
Ginger:
This is why I couldn't deal with the cancer support sites. Under the circumstances, I couldn't deal with the posts that appeared to have been written by a cat, except that a cat wouldn't type lol so often. Also, most of the people were asking questions that showed they knew nothing at all about their illness and treatment. You're on the internet, people. Google, for the love of god.
Steph L.:
Here's the thing about "lol" -- I'd say that at least 50% of the time I see it used, it's used in a context that doesn't make any sense to me. Like, it's supposed to indicate that someone is (at the very least) amused, if not literally laughing out loud, right? So then why do people write things like:
"So then I just put my jim shooz on lol and laced them up and went to the grocery store lol!"
Because -- WHAT THE FUCK IS FUNNY ABOUT THAT?!? I have a good sense of humor, goddammit! But your excessive and a-contextual "lol"s are driving me apeshit!
Ahem. Thank you for letting me get that off my chest.
JZ:
I want to marry Teppy's lolrant and have its little ranty babies.
And, just to be meta, while reading it I just barely managed to stifle myself from actually LOLing (though shouldn't it more properly be LingOL?).

I love that a buffista would debate even this. JZ, don't ever, ever change.
