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..." ?
Allyson in Natter,
God. The OSHA of the Old Testament.

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.

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 achievenirvanaSpork.

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!

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?
Raq in Bitches:
Our high-tech conference room reservation system is a calendar taped to the conf. room door. Apparently someone said they hadn't reserved it because they didn't have a pen with them. So the secretary taped a pencil to the door, and put a yellow sticky reading PENCIL --> next to it.
That kicked off a flurry of sticky notes on the door, including "HINGE -->," "HANDLE -->," and "CARPET."
Then someone put a sticky pointing to those that reads "IRONY."
So I crossed that out and wrote "SARCASM." My colleague plans to add a "PEDANTRY" pointer to my note. "BUFFISTA" would obviously work just as well, but not make sense to anyone else.
