Sue, in Natter:
Dude, if we are going to start taking down Americans, it won't be with geese. They're totally rogue and can't be trusted.
Jayne (Husband): Oh, I think you might wanna reconsider that last part. See, I married me a powerful ugly creature. Mal (Wife): How can you say that? How can you shame me in front of new people? Jayne (Husband): If I could make you purtier, I would. Mal (Wife): You are not the man I met a year ago.

Kill me now. Or send some sex. Or food. Or the 4th season of Dr. Who. Answering the later request will dismiss the first three ones.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Also in Bitches, better without context:
Scrappy: The heck with engine size and handling and all that folderol--it's all about the ass-warming.

In Natter:
Steph L. : It's almost Mardi Gras time; maybe a King Cake would be better?
Dana: Are you advocating for the eating of tiny plastic babies?
Steph L. : In America, EVERYONE can eat a tiny plastic baby!
tommyrot: Maybe fewer people would eat the plastic babies if we called them "cake kittens."

Erika in Natter, after a reference to the "J-word" in the Inauguration invocation:
I thought "J-word" was meant to be irreverent, not offensive. But of course, there is a fine line, always. Which side am I on if I say it sounds like the disciples got a show on Showtime?
Note: I will be happy to edit or delete if this offends, but I laughed and laughed.

In Natter (one of many conversations that might have been, but this was my favorite):
MiracleMan
I loved the speech (yes, we watched live at home...Em missed it being sick and napping) but, being me, I couldn't help cracking wise. In my head parts of it went like this:
President Obama: Our economy is badly weakened, a consequence of greed and irresponsibility on the part of some...
George W. Bush: Dude. Sitting right here!
...
President Obama: On this day, we come to proclaim an end to the petty grievances and false promises, the recriminations and worn out dogmas, that for far too long have strangled our politics.
George W. Bush: RIGHT HERE!
...
President Obama: ...Those of us who manage the public's dollars will be held to account — to spend wisely, reform bad habits, and do our business in the light of day
George W. Bush: Okay, now you're being kind of a dick.
And I kinda loved the whole "leaving of the ex-president" bit. Again, I show you how it went in my head, even though we couldn't hear what was actually being said:
George W. Bush: "...you don't think I'd ask for a twelve inch pianist, do you?" Hah! Get it?
President Obama: Yeah, no, that was great. Now, you're sure you didn't leave anything behind, right?
George W. Bush: I'm sure. Sheesh. You're kinda pushy.
And as the helicopter lifted off and flew away...
Michelle Obama: God. What a douchenozzle.
President Obama: Word.

I'm certainly not planning to quote all of it, but he and Liese made me snort a second ago in Natter:
Liese S.
What's funny about the technology generation is that with all the incessant coverage of the campaign and festivities for the past years, I kinda expect an Obamacam, where I can put him in the corner of my browser window and, you know, watch democracy happen. Like puppycam, but with leadership.
Miracleman:
"What's he doing? Is he dead?"
"He's just sleeping."
"Awww...what a cute widdle weader of the fwee wowld. Yes, he is. Yes, he *is*."
"I think you mean 'Yes, we can.'"

And the MM hits just keep on coming:
Bush: They gave me candy!
Photographer: Was that all right?
Cheney: Oh, yeah. He'll run around like a maniac for a half hour or so, then crash for three or four hours. It's nice really, it means I'll get some work done.
