In Bitches:
Erin
You know, reading Fay's post re: her student and the newspaper made me realize how utterly WEIRD it was to think MR. McCain/MR. Obama.
Daniel C. Jensen
No! No slashing!
Daniel C. Jensen: Can Sarah Palin say the word "maverick" more? I keep expecting James Garner to come onscreen and tell her to stop.
In Natter:
Billytea: I suspect the GOP's polling says [Cheney]'s about as popular as scrapie right now. He needs to do something to make the people fear and respect him again. Maybe he should shoot a man in Reno just to watch him apologise.
Tom Scola:
Whenever I get a label maker, the first thing I usually do is make a label that says "label maker".
Daniel C. Jensen: I also bought Windsparrow some grease fittings, sway bar links, and bushings for her car suspension.
Not so much romantic as whiligigs.
Oh, and a dome light lamp.
WindSparrow: And it really isn't as romantic as spending your days sitting by the hospital bedside of my car-crash-comaed body after I lose control of the steering on an icy road, veer off into a ditch, have both front wheels fall off, and still have enough of the tail of the car sticking out on the road to be crunched by the Semi that couldn't stop in time. But I'll take what I can get.
tommyrot: It's sad when comedians make more sense than politicians and political commentators. Or is that always the case?
Matt the Bruins fan: ... there is a fine tradition of that running back at least as far as Will Rogers.
SailAweigh: Personally, I'd take it back to Mark Twain.
Frankenbuddha: I'd say Mark Twain. More of a comedic writer, but he made fairly non-stop speaking appearences, didn't he?
SailAweigh: We are Twains that met, Frank!
tommyrot: So East is West and West is East?
Better without context from tommyrot in Natter:
I have to admit - it's nice that the Cylon mice don't require their balls to be cleaned....
Context be damned. Erin in Bitches
"FEEL MY ASS! TOUCH EEEEEET!" Then burn it, and drink copiously.
These are my official funeral instructions, btw.
In Natter:
Tom Scola: One of our servers at work just crashed with a "PCI streaming byte hole error".
msbelle: Tom, this isn't Bitches, please keep it family friendly.
tommyrot: Heh. Next time a computer crosses me, I'll have to threaten to tear it a new byte hole.
Gudanov: Sounds like the PCI bus streamed too much data into one place and it collapsed into a digital singularity (not to be confused with The Singularity) where not even assembly code can escape out.
tommyrot: Or maybe just the bit bucket was full....
Frankenbuddha: There's a hole in the bucket, dear Linux, dear Linux There's a hole in the bucket, oh Linux my dear.
