Natterers.
Wesley: Feng Shui. Gunn: Right. What's that mean again? Wesley: That people will believe anything. Actually, in this place, Feng Shui will probably have enormous significance. I'll align my furniture the wrong way and suddenly catch fire or turn into a pudding.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
Then we'll get stuck in an infinite loop and the Stompies won't be able to create new COMM threads fast enough.
We'd need to engineer a new super-breed of COMMpies.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
The postmodern, it kills me (in Premium):
P-C: DAMN YOU, WIKIPEDIA.
Frank: Welcome to Deadwood, cocksucker.

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
Erin: I do not want a lawnmower. I want to paint my wall turquoise and buy more bookshelves. That's it.

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.
Enough funny to bring rupture blood vessels in my brain - in Bitches, on Mike Rowe's career before hosting "Dirty Jobs":
erikaj:
Foamy dude, Mr. Rowe. Funny. Nice teeth.(I have a thing about that.) Manly, in a good way. The opera singer thing is a nice bonus, though. As are things like "daggone it," and being willing to look dumb on TV....Laga:
wait, Mike Rowe is an opera singer?
SuziQ:
Yep. He also used to sell stuff on QVC. He got in trouble for having a nun doll upside down in his lap.
Laga:
wow. My eh for Mike Rowe just turned into a hmm.

Nora Deirdre: Three is totally the fit throwing age. Do your friends have kids or know many people with kids?
Miracleman: Actually, they have a child, but that's a whole 'nother Oprah.
Aimée: 3 year olds are raw manic depression. I'm convinced.
beth b: I think that might be truer than I want it to be
Aimée: It's definitely truer than that I want it to be.

Aimée: As a parent, I was totally torturing Em yesterday. She was pretending that Joe and I were sick and was bringing us stuff.
Em: "Here's your juice, baby."
Me: "I DON'T LIKE THAT JUICE! I WANT WATER!"
Em: Ok - here's your water.
Me: "I DON'T LIKE WATER I SAID I PROMISE!"
She just looked at me askance and kissed me on my forehead and said, "You need your nap, baby."
Joe fell out of his chair laughing.
