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!
There's more than one way to skin a cat. And I happen to know that's factually true.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
In Movies --
Raq: Oh, now I have to have a Watchmen release party.
tommyrot: It could be a costume party, except then you'd have to worry about someone showing up naked with their skin dyed blue....
Jessica: worry?
Matt the Bruins fan: Well, what are the odds that anyone inclined to do so will look like Billy Crudup?
bonny fides: Ah. The essential ComicCon flaw.

From Natter, Ginger sets it up and Calli finishes:
We really should come up with a snack food called "wintry mix."
One part Godiva white chocolate liquor to two parts vodka, over ice (of course). It tastes innocuous and even sweet. Then your legs go out from under you.
