Tara: 'Your One-Stop Spot to Shop for Lots of New-Age and Occult Items.' Catchy. Giles: Think so? Tara: Uh huh. In a... hard to say sorta way.

not your mom's socks.

chez Natter:

Tommyrot: Here's something that most people never do - play the banjo during brain surgery....

Banjo player Eddie Adcock recently had brain surgery where surgeons installed deep brain stimulator electrodes to control a tremor in his right hand.

Trudy Booth: I wonder how you sterilize a banjo

Tommyrot: They come pre-sterilized, in little sterile plastic wrappers. Then they have these giant red bins where you put your contaminated banjo in after surgery.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

PixKristin in Natter:

I just spent an hour reviewing grammar and mechanics with a ninth grader. We started out just talking about comma splice errors and semicolon use, but through the course of the discussion, we worked our way backwards until I was redefining subject/predicate and parts of speech. This is the problem with grammar. You start picking at the little frayed end, and the whole damn sweater unravels. Then you realize that you don't remember how to knit.

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

from Buffistechnology:

Jessica - My keyboard suddenly decided to swap the @ and " symbols. (When I press the " key, the @ symbol shows up instead and vice versa.) I swear I didn't do anything to make this happen.

WTF???

Gudanov - Do you roll your eyes a lot when you quote people? Maybe the keyboard is trying to bond with you.

"What would it take to get your daughter to stop tweeting about this?"

from Supernatural discussing the episode and bonus:

Ailleann - Guess ghost-killing canon, like Jensen's leg, is flexible.

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

Emily: Rudy Giuliani called to let me know that Obama is opposed to minimum sentences, and if he has his way there'll be nothing to keep liberal judges from letting murderers GO FREE! Apparently I should trust Congress's vast sweeping generalizations more than judges' individual judgment. Shut up, Republican Party! You're just making me mad!

Ten years from now, nay, five, we will not remember who Joe was. But right now, this is funny:

In Bitches:

sj:

I will not kill the plumber that keeps calling me "honey" and TCG "the boss". At least not until he fixes everything.

vw bug:

Is his name Joe? If it is, I think you should just go ahead and put him out of your misery.

"Cry havoc and let slip the boobs of war!" -- Miracleman

Daniel, in Bitches:

We are Buffistas; we are all labels and none, we are, and ever seem to be, a collection of eclectic alliances and rugged individuals, a group, but not a herd.

We are us.

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.

In Bitches, a couple days ago (I'm surprised this hasn't made it in here before).

Ginger:

Don't they suggest that any woman of childbearing age take folic acid to cover unplanned pregnancies?

Emily:

And the miraculous ones?

Ginger:

"There's a star in the East, but I've taken my folic acid."

My underpants and my buttcrack are in love and wish never to be separated.

Sounds like Cupid just gave you a wedgie.

In Bitches, on the solemn occasion of SA achieving her Master's degree:

Laga:

Oops I forgot to congratulate SA.

Way to go, Master!

Trudy Booth:

I think we should call SA "Master" for at least a week or two.

Frankenbuddha:

And then change it to "Bator"?
