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.
Jayne, you'll scare the women.

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.

I prefer "Gyno American."

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
javachik: The idea of dressing to impress anyone whilst traveling was knocked unconscious the minute we had to start taking off our damned shoes to go through security.

omnis_audis brings the plaint for all the Buffistae who have had to move in recent history in Bitches:
Is moving one of Dante's rings of Hell? It should be.

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

(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."

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

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

Tommyrot (quoting): If you own a Jura F90 Coffee Maker, you can also buy a Jura Internet Connection Kit, which lets you program and set your coffee prefs via the network: however, its got a bunch of vulnerabilities that allow for remote denial-of-coffee attacks
Guess what - it can not be patched as far as I can tell ;) It also has a few software vulnerabilities.
Tom Scola: I'm completely boggled that they embedded Windows XP in a coffee maker.
Steph L.: Could be worse; it could be Vista.
Frankenbuddha: So if it fails, you get the blue liquid of death?
ita - Wonder if you can program it in Java?

Titanic is the tragic love story of a dude (SPY DADDY DODD EX!) and a ship. There's some B plot about whiny kids in star crossed love or some crap, and it takes up way too much time, but the dude and ship parts are weep-worthy.
