Cashmere in Natter
Someone needs to install a snooze alarm on my toddlers.
Harmony: Somebody remembered to pick me up the sweetest unicorn. Guess someone was feeling guilty for standing me up in tenth grade. Brad: What? Had to get her something. She sired me. Peaches: Sire-whipped.

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

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love
I'm surprised nobody COMMed this already! From Movies, a conversation that began with people talking about the difference between Quebecois and Francophone Quebecois:
Corwood: Being a lifelong resident of the Southern United States, I am very confused by your distinction.
Nutty: Them what are talking French most of the time, count. Them what are not, don't count. And French you learned in college and only use to intimidate people when reading a wine list doesn't count either. Being actually in Quebec, or from there, is only a partial factor in the analysis.
Corwood:
Them what are talking French most of the time, count.
Do what now? So what about them what are mimes?
Nutty: All mimes are French. Don't you know anything?
Corwood: Not too much, I'll admit. But mimes don't talk! Even knowing a priori that they're French, how would the Quebec government confirm that?
Tom Scola: If a Quebecois mime weren't French, would he have to perform his act a second time in French?
Scrappy: Yes. It's exactly the same act, but he does it with contempt for the audience.
ita: I think he needs to perform it the first time in French, and the second time, the English time, can be no longer or bigger than the first.

Who doesn't know this feeling? From Natter.
ita: Work has not exploded as much as I'd feared, but then again I have fifty unread emails. It's like Schroedinger's crisis.

Nilly brings on the Austen love: It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a tired Buffista in possession of a reading comprehension difficulty must be in want of a coffee.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
I think you're in the wrong thread, Beth.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Maybe she actually got coffee on her monitor.

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.
Bump, set, spike, there. Do I have to re-COMM that bit of natter, or is it enough to just say P-C's zinger oughta be preserved in the BRQG?
