Elena:
Yeah, but couldn't a lot of our fanfic be tweaked and ready for the original fiction market? And I suppose we'd have to change 'vampire' into, I don't know, 'investment banker'.

What's the opposite of "from your lips to Joss' ear"? From your lips to a lead-lined, heavily sealed box buried in a concrete bunker in antarctica. And not a stylish part of antarctica that Joss might one day go to. A boring part with lots of annoying tourists and a casino with nightly performances by *NSync.

Sorry to natter, but when I was a teenager I often wished I had a Gay Big Brother. Of course, I would have wanted to have sex with him, which complicates matters a bit.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

My whole house is clean! The entire thing! Including all the rooms!
Amazing what motivation a parental visit can provide to shake one out of the lethargy of one's housecleaning sloth. Not a sloth. Sloth itself.

Liese S. - And, ooh, Emily, I insent you a little ways back, after rudely ignoring your email for a ridiculous amount of time.
Emily - Oh, I know you did -- something about not realizing I wasn't porn, wasn't it? I understand. Many people mistake me for porn. And real estate offers. Must be my vast tracts of land.

Emily funny:
Jen - Really? Wow, I thought Catholics were in the vast minority. Maybe that's just in the US. I know that my family made it sound like we were the freaks of the town because we were Catholic and everyone else was Protestant.
Apropos of, well, not that: is it hard to learn how to snorkel? If I want to snorkel on my upcoming vacation, and it'll be the first time I've ever done it, would it be wise to try to get a lesson or something?
Emily - Jen, I think it varies widely by country and religious history. Isn't Catholicism the majority religion in Mexico, for example?
Jen - At first read, I thought you were talking about learning how to snorkel.
Emily - Well, there is some debate over whether the snorkel is just a medium for transmitting oxygen or actually becomes the oxygen itself.
I'm on the train to damnation...

Ah, gaydar. Well, I seem to have the ability to pick out the one straight guy in a room (so that I may fall madly in love with him), so I suppose by extension that means I have gaydar.

My gaydar is practically non-existent. I'm almost always surprised when I find out someone is gay. This turned out to be especially embarassing when I was coaching a women's soccer team. Turns out some of my players were lesbians. Go figure.

This Gaydar talk is comedy gold.

EEWWWWWWWWW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I sort of blacked out there. I think my lower intesines made a lunge to try and throttle my brain stem so I wouldn't have to look at that anymore.
Dear god in heaven WHY.
This person isn't going to the Special Hell. Just to Hell. The boring one.

Am-Chau Yarkona: billytea, are you sure you aren't in fact David Attenbourgh? I'm starting to wonder.
billytea: Once played David Attenborough at a church family night, examining the mating habits of the church single. (Well, such habits as could be presented in a family show.) It was a lot of fun.
Am-Chau: So you ARE David Attenborough!
Edit: One thousand snarks and still going strong!
