Simon: I'm trying to put this as delicately as I can... How do I know you won't kill me in my sleep? Mal: You don't know me, son. So let me explain this to you once: If I ever kill you, you'll be awake, you'll be facing me, and you'll be armed.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

We use your tears to wash new threads and keep them squeaky clean.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

You people just want to make us anti-proliferationists cry, don't you? Don't you??

Oh come on! I held off until it was in production. Slowing down is about all I can promise at this point.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."

I just relived my bad Firefly memories. And now --!

I am too tidy a person to be happy with a thread that might not live out the year. It is like owning volumes 1, 3 and 4 of a set: that #2 just eats at me in the night till I go bananas.

I'm with you there, though.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

I used that very line to title my online dating profile.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

See, I just end up buying volume 2. But then again, I'm constantly running out of shelf space.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

But you buy more shelves, don't you?? SEE???? You aren't anti-proliferation, sillyhead!

I'm probably doing it on purpose then, because I like the idea of you going bananas. Is there something more than pacing the floor after midnight with a grim yankee look on your face? How exactly does your bananas manifest itself? It's easy to imagine MM going bananas in about eighty different ways, but with you it's trickier.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

We can always go back to David's long-ago proposal of easier thresholds for thread creation/thread deletion. THAT WOULD BE FUN.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."

bon bon: clearly suicidal.

Hecubus: clearly cruisin for a bruisin.

Nutty: clearly your Queen, Empress, and All High Priestess of Crabbiness for the evening.
