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?
In Natter, mostly for Jesse's definitive stance at the end:
Sophia Brooks:
If you were asked to name the "traditional Valentine's Day colors", what would they be? (settling an argument...)
Dana:
Red and white? Maybe pink?
brenda m:
Um, red and...red?
Kat:
Valentine's colors = red and pink.
Sophia Brooks:
Ok, you guys are restoring my faith in humanity. Two people at work were insisting that red and black were the traditional colors. Like red and green are for Christmas. I said red and pink. I mean a little black wouldn't be out of place on a card, or a tuxedo or something, but it isn't even a color!
Dana:
BLACK? Like, the color of doom and death?
Sophia Brooks:
Yes- they said if they were giving a loved one a Valentine's card it would be black with red writing, or red roses with a black ribbon. Which might be nice for some, but I wouldn't call it tradition. They said red and black were sexy colors like you would wear for a tango!
Jesse:
Valentine's Day is not about the sexy tango. I mean, it could be, of course, depending on how you roll, but that is not the tradition.
In Natter 63:
Tommyrot: Pa. judges accused of jailing kids for cash
Strega: In the right circumstances, I might not object to giving kids AK-47s.
Strega in Movies 6:
...titles like "Se7en" and "Thir13en Ghosts" and "Numb3rs" are just 5tup1d.
I felt the need to record this for posterity.
In Lightbulbs, obviously. Cheers, Mala!

Wolfram:
An idea that everybody can agree with? Clearly, you all forgot how this thread is supposed to work. After all, I came here for an argument.
Seriously, Jossverse thread is a great idea. Well done, Mala.
PixKristin:
I don't know--first post makes B'craxy and Lightbulbs amenable and happy? That's a pretty high standard you've set for yourself there, Mala! Welcome!
Ailleann:
After all, I came here for an argument.
This is Abuse.
Allyson:
Um, you all suck and your suggestions offend me and may possibly be sexist and/or racist in nature.
Stop shoving me in a locker.
Gang of sixteen.
Yadda yadda yadda.
And I'm leaving the board forever.
There. Now it's a proper lightbulbs thread.
Liese S:
Hee. Whew, I feel better now.
Can't be having with this cooperation and consensus and stuff.
Omnis_audis:
Wow. Peace in lightbulbs? What's next? A two state deal that pacifies the middle east, and convinces Iran that solar & wind power is better that nuclear? I wonder if Mala is Pres Obama.
le nubian:
Got Hope?
Aims:
t adds tick mark next to things accomplished by the Obama Administration
amych:
See, I knew that Obama guy was one of us.
omnis_audis:
LOL, oh no! What I have I started. Mala, forgive me if you are female, or Non-Democratic Party person, and hate being compared to Obama.
My luck this will scare Mala into lurking forever.
Mala:
Ha! I am neither Obama, nor offended by being compared to him.
Thank you all for the gracious welcome.
Trudy Booth:
That really is just what Obama would say...
Steph L:
We won't really know until we meet "Mala" face to face.
(F2F in the WHITE HOUSE!!!!)
omnis_audis:
I got dibs on the Lincoln Room!!!
