Sophia Brooks: One of my cow-workers just skipped down the hall in happiness because her size 2 pants were too big for her and she is all excited about having to get a size zero. Why does it matter? Except that it annoyed the piss out of me

amych: I'm vaguely freaked by the Kosher for Passover Turduckens, but even more so by the fact that they're organic and free range. It's like wanting the maximum of purity in the most insanely unnatural form imaginable.
Sue in Natter:
I once dreamt that I was trying to invent a potato that could transcend space and time. Apparently, my subconscious has a thing about root crops.
Discussing the latest political scandal in Natter:
Tom Scola: According to the court filings, Spitzer's booty call cost him $4,300.
Aimee: Not bad for government work.

And as a follow-up:

Such a good point.
They're like Vibrators: The Next Generation.
Emily: I really hope I'm never involved in a stupid, embarrassing scandal. I'd have to stop watching the Daily Show.

A kick in the balls would be up close and personal.
Kristen in Natter:
If you're unemployed long enough, you start to consider making out with the guy who gives you an extra shot in your latte for free a good idea.
Jackal in Minearverse:
A few weeks ago as part of my non-teaching job, I was asked to teach a lesson about Drive to a bunch of 17 year olds. Today the essays came in. Choice quotes of greatness:
"Drive was made by Fox however as it had a cast of unknowns it was not made by a big company."
"Both sexes are used so it is multiracial."
"At the beginning there is a montage of black and white pictures in sepia." "It could be classed as a TV drama because it's on TV and is a drama, but this would be a bit vague but overtly this is true."
From this I deduce that I rock as a teacher.
