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.
MM trifecta. In Bitches, I think Cass is the one quoted here, but it was Fay's pirate mug that started it.
pirate mug...
"...okay, face left."
"Arr."
"arr."
"ar."
- flash* "Now just step over here and we'll get your hookprints."
Sean K:
The show I'm working on has the band onstage on a moving platform. I now hate moving onstage band platforms.
Catching up in Natter -- I'm surprised this bit from Miracleman about moving day at the White House hasn't been COMMed sooner:
Bush: You should've gotten more exercise, like me. I cleared brush!
Cheney: I was kinda busy UNDERMINING DEMOCRACY FOR PROFIT, you buffoon!
Bush: I am not a monkey!
Steph L.:
Having just cleaned the kitchen, here is what I think about President Obama:
He is the human version of a Mr. Clean Magic Eraser.
(Yes, the Magic Eraser is magic. It just cleaned the foulest stovetop ever to be seen in a kitchen. And I include frat houses.)
Also, when I picked up my comics today, my comic-book guy told me he had a dream that Obama changed his (comic-book guy's) car's transmission fluid. We agreed that he may well fix the world in his first 100 days and then spend the rest of his term traveling around the country doing odd jobs for people.
"Is that a couch you're moving? Let me grab the end!"
"Cleaning your gutters? I have a ladder!"
"Need a fourth for euchre? I *never* trump my partner's ace!"

It AMAZES me how Cake Wrecks is able to keep coming up with material for their site: [link]

Have you met people?
From Boxed set about BSG (not really a spoiler, unless you read between the lines).
Corwood Industries:
I predict that Tyrol will
spend the next six episodes down in the FTL chamber
frantically radioing Adama
that he can't possibly provide him more power because it's tearing the ship apart. Also, he will discover that his model of Cylon has always spoken with a thick Scottish brogue.
brenda:
Oh my god, I'm seriously having an Obamagasm here. Calling people on their bullshit. Correcting the record when questions come packaged with faulty assumptions. I never knew it could be like this!
Billytea in Bitches (the drive-me-crazy discussion)
Sweet zombie Jesus the Arc de Triomphe roundabout is insane. I've come to the conclusion that in Paris, pedestrian crossings are there only so the drivers know where to find you. (The horn is simply to ensure you're facing the right way for them to savour the look on your face.)
Actually, to expand that a little, in Rome it seems that the message behind honking the horn is "I am about to do something illegal and dangerous, and it would be pointless to do it without an audience." The only law anyone there seems to obey is one that (I presume) states it is illegal for one vehicle ever to be travelling behind another vehicle. In Athens, the message behind honking the horn appears to be "This car is equipped with a horn."
closely followed by Barb:
So you're saying that Roman drivers are cats?
