Zoe: Jayne. This is something the Captain has to do for himself. Mal: No! No, it's not!

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

Aim's classmate:

Learn the language. At least learn key phrases so that you can get help if you need it. I had trouble the first time I went to Europe because I didn't speak any French or British.

Fay responds:

On behalf of the people of Europe (and I venture to suspect that the people of Asia, Africa, Australasia and the Middle East will join us on this one), I have a message for your acquaintance: "Stay home. No, really."

(Could you translate it into American for her?)

Miracleman:

Sure.

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil

Typo Boy sets it up, and Billytea knocks it out:

If I could take a ferry to Ikea I would even if all I bought once I got there was Swedish meatballs.

Sure, it sounds romantic, but then you discover you have to assemble the ferry yourself.

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

erkikaj: They outsourced Magical Cripples to India, JZ. Not my fault. Maybe it's NAFTA. They're sweeter, but sort of hard to understand on the phone.

vanguard of the socialist Hollywood liberal homosexualist agenda

Barb in Bitches, because OMG:

So my mother went with my father to the family lawyer today so dear daddy could file for divorce from his current wife. Yanno, the one with whom he cheated on my mom thirty years ago while THEY were married and then subsequently married after he and Mom's incredibly bitter divorce?

She said to Maria (my sister), "I do wish your sister would be more understanding about this. I wish she could be happy for me."

And she mentioned that she thought it would make a good story for me to write.

Dude, I don't write science fiction.

Erin in Literary:

My lib card is maxed out -- dude, you KNOW you're an English teacher when your credit card balance is ok, but your library card is declined!

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda

Billytea: (like I had to tell you) [T]the ostrich couple had eggs! The female stayed with them, while the male took up an aggressive posture right in front of me! Seriously, if I'd leant over the guard rail even a foot or so I reckon he could've (and would've, certainly) taken a swipe at me! How awesome was that?

omnis audis: what? He didn't? That flippin ostrich owes me my $10 back.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

Aims (my candidate for mother of the year):

That's why Joe and I just drop Emeline off at random frat parties and then go out to a movie and dinner and pick her up later.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Jesse, in the Olympics watch-n-post:

Hell, I'm proud to be Chinese right now!

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Sage advice from Askye in Bitches:

I had a therapist I had to stop seeing becuase he got a perm.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Sarameg: The shots of the one gymnast who was obviously not happy with her performance are flashing me on msbelle calling Khorksomething the world's angriest gymnast. That one looked ready to rip someone's head off all the time.

Hil: That must be Svetlana Khorkina....I remember one time they got a shot of her just as Dominique Moceanu's "Devil Went Down to Georgia" music started (at the Atlanta games), and the crowd (as usual) went absolutely wild, and Khorkina just had this look of absolute disgust on her face.

connie neil: Was Svetlana the Belorussian Swan? I adored her, her disdain was so regal.

billytea: Wasn't it though? She looked like an emu sucking on a lemon.
