Aillean in Boxed Set, on Moonlight.
Oh God, but that plotline totally pays for itself by creating some of the slashiest on-screen slash in recent memory. Some of Angel? Less gay.
Spoiler-font just in case, but it is very general in nature.
I'm not on the ship. I'm in the ship. I am the ship.

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.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

msbelle - another hivemind question:
"upskill" real word or really horrible business speak.
amych - incredibly horrible.
Sophia Brooks - horrible. Plus it sounds like a combo of "upscale" and "Catskills"
sarameg - OED claims it, but it is ugly and stupid and smells funny.
Dana - I vote "ew".
Scrappy - Horrible, although I kind of like its cousin "upsell," since it is such a pithy way to describe the whole "You want fries with that" thing.
Steph L. - Dear God! Is it meant to be a noun?
....surely not a verb?
msbelle - it is used as a verb..."educate and upskill [employees]..."
Ginger - Perhaps if they upskilled writing, we wouldn't have to face that word.
Sox - No. Bad. Must be removed. And then I need to wash my eyes.
Steph L. - Sweet Fancy Moses.
That's such an egregious abuse of the language that I want to check it for bruises.
Dana - Fake word! Fake word! Burn it!
Allyson - Can we file upskill in the manure pile with productize?
I'd also like to nominate proactive for tossing in the poo pile. The word, not the product.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
Erin in Literary:
"La grippe" also confused me for a while. I think I was thirty before I figured out it was a fancy, stuck-up way of saying "cold or flu, I dunno, I'm Victorian."

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

Ladies and gentlemen, this is your captain speaking. It looks like we'll be departing from New York on time today, and we should reach Los Angeles in the record time of 2 hours and 10 minutes. We seem to be aided by a strong tailwind caused by excessive hand-flailing and multiple recitations of the Rosary in the vicinity of Harrisburg, PA and Boston, MA. Evidently, Maria and Juliana have not checked in with their families yet. That means trouble for them, but a quick flight for us.
Sit back, relax, and hope they don't call until after we land.

meara: ... I think as long as other people can see the talking crayon too, it's OK.
If not, we may need to have a talk about how much you've been working, sweetie.

In Bitches, MM and Frankenbuddha made me laugh. We won't discuss what actually ended up on the monitor.
Me: I get why it is stupid to cut off one's nose to spite one's face, but what about cutting off one's nose to stop it from sneezing anymore?
MiracleMan: Too extreme.
Four words: Wet/Dry Shop Vac.
Frankenbuddha: If only you could get one with a silencer.
