Natter, regarding the new M. Night Shyamalan movie (no spoilers, I swear.)
Tom Scola: I hope so, because the trailer was crushingly bleak and depressing.
Steph L.: Marky Mark has that effect.
This isn't a come-on. I'm in a very serious relationship with a landscape architect.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
The mystery of expanding books, in Bitches:
Jessica: I'm convinced that books behave like a gas - they will expand to fill the space alloted to them. Literature abhors a vacuum.
amych: Hence the dust.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
Politically correct terminology in Natter:
Jesse: People use "girl" as a slur all the time, and you don't see us coming up with new words to call female children, do you?
Jessica: Speaking as a differently genitaled person, I resent that.

(edited for humorous effect)
sarameg - So I put in the complaint about my a/c still not working. Was told it was going to be fixed today. Was offered a cat (manager traps the young ferals and rehomes them) and was told I've lost a lot of weight.
Weird morning.
Sue - Was this all in the same conversation?
tommyrot - If only customer service representatives were empowered to give away free cats to disgruntled customers, the world would be a different place....
billytea - Especially if they could choose the velocity at which said cats were delivered.
Toddson - New sign - in honor of Kat's tag - "Disgruntled customers will be given a cat. Really disgruntled customers will be given a feral cat."

God put an apple and a serpent in paradise for a reason, not just because He was forgetful, you know?
