Dana: King cake ice cream is better in theory than in execution, but aren't you glad we live in a world where such things are possible?

erikaj: People always react to my ASU degree, too. I can't tell if it's the chair or that a blonde graduate of that college kept her shirt dry for two years.
Juliana: How more level can you get than dead level? There is none more level. Levels do not go up to 11.
Jilli in Goodbye and Good Riddence:
...No way am I giving up caffeine or sugar. You will pry my coffee with two sugars out of my chilly undead hands. And then I'll send some of the minions after you, while the others go fetch me more coffee.
shrift in Natter:
I should get on the treadmill or meditate or something before I try to destroy the Earth. I know it's where I keep my stuff you guys, but I've been trying to declutter...
I'm just set up, Sail brings the coup de grace:

EpicTangent: Huh, finally got to the post office & mailed a couple of things that have been waiting, but forgot to invoke Spartacus. Oh well, they're from Me, Recipients, so there!

Rick, reflecting on parenthood:
I'm not sure what I expected of parenting, but wasn't this kind of time travel to the middle ages. Suddenly vermin, human waste products, economic deprivation, superstition, and loss of autonomy impinge on your life in unexpected and inescapable ways. It's like a self-imposed vassalage to your little Lords. And this, without much in the way of festival days.
Of course, it's also the greatest thing ever, with every single day with them better than all of the days that came before them. How can all of these things be true at once? It is the koan of parenthood.
