This is also Shrift's source for the BRQG, so be aware that if your words end up here, they'll also end up there. Finally, please note which thread spawned the quotage and please white-out anything that might be spoilery to Un-Americans.
from Gaming (edited for comedy effect... is that OK?)
Pete, Husband of Jilli:
The fact they fit all this on a standard DVD is a masterpiece of coding.
Frankenbuddha:
They probably used black magic.
OMG when you die in the game you die for REALS!!!!!
Jilli VoiceOfReason:
Y'know, I hadn't planned on having to bring my husband back as a zombie for a long time. I don't have any of the supplies on hand.
Frankenbuddha:
Who knows - the game might take care of that for you.
Jessica:
"Continue?"
Jilli VoiceOfReason:
Pffft. I don't believe in trusting the reanimation of the dead to game developers I don't know.
Strega: My sloth interferes with my drunkenness. It's sad.
Her sloth? She's full of slith.

bon bon:
My mom just forwarded me Lolcats. Time it everyone! That's one year for a trend to start on the internets, and get to moms!
Jesse:
bon bon, was the email amusing enough for Postcards From Your Momma? Then the internet would swallow itself.
The Empress, on parenting, in Bitches:
Kids are supposed to be a-holes sometimes. It's what makes them kids and what we, as parents, get to hold over their heads for the rest of their life! If I'm medicating my kids into Stepford Kids, how am I supposed to make them feel like shit when they're 30 for acting a fool when they were 15? Won't anyone think of the parents?
Gud, in Natter, helping Kat with her syllabus (I can't believe this wasn't posted here yet):
"In a world where bad grammar and appalling spelling have smothered the ideas of humankind, one course will make a stand, one course will overcome the odds, one course will teach..." ?

in Natter,
God. The OSHA of the Old Testament.
More religion in Natter --
Frankenbuddha:
I'm trying to think why someone would think hitching a donkey and an ox to the same plow would be a good idea.
Jesse:
You've got one ox, you've got one donkey, why not? It's worth a shot, anyway?
flea:
Note to self: when farming, do not take Jesse's advice.
amych:
note to self: don't farm
brenda m:
Now we know where those crop circles all come from.
In B'crxy:
Nutty:
I think, generally, that telling a Buffista, "No you may not argue on this topic" is a proposition doomed to lose any way you slice it. Talky meat will find a way! Even if talky meat ends up substituting the codeword "left-handed fork" to mean "politics."
Jessica:
I propose that from now on, the word "proliferation" be replaced in all instances with "left-handed fork."
Antiproliferationistas will hence forth be known as The Right-Handed Fork Brigade, and spoilerphobes shall be called The People Of The Spoon.
amych:
What about those of us who hold our forks with the left AND don't love the prolif? Huh? YOU'RE OPPRESSING ME!!
brenda m:
And the path to enlightenment is a long and difficult one, but someday we shall achieve nirvana Spork.

Ginger: New shorthand styles for Lightbulbs --
Tivo font: I watch shows after they're aired and don't want to be spoiled.
Spoiler whore font: What's the big deal about spoilers?
Willy nilly font: People should be able to open threads on their own.
Proliferation font: A thread for every show! A chicken in every pot!
Antiproliferation font: More threads = less community
Clarifying my position font: Hey, guys, that's not what I meant at all.
Clarifying someone else's position font: What she really meant was...
on atheism in Natter:
tommyrot
: A post on PZ's blog:
And this blog confirms what I have found in almost every atheist blog I've visited: atheists lose their moral foundation, when they jetison God, and eventually end up foul-mouthed, pornographic, hate-filled, humorless individuals.
Hey, I'm not humorless!
shrift
: Personally, I jettisoned God. And this dude left out "pedantic".
tommyrot
: If I wasn't so hate-filled and humorless, I'd tell you that was really funny.
Jars
: Three out of four ain't bad. Gimme a few years and I'm sure I'll jettison humour along with everything else.
brenda
: HA HA! You guys crack me up!
Shit! Does that mean I have to start going back to church now?
