I'm just set up, Sail brings the coup de grace:
In Goodbye & Good Riddance:
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!
SuziQ: Now I'm trying to picture the Spartacus invocation ritual.
EpicT: I forgot the candles and ceremonial dagger.
SailAweigh: Press one for goat or say "goats".
On the probability of NoiseDesign being a cylon in our on-line game of Battlestar Galactica currently underway in the Gaming thread...
Kalshane - I know I'll be shocked if it turns out N. D. is a toaster.
billytea - That's what you get for taking him in the bath with you.
In Natter:
erikaj: Able-bodied bitches be crazy.
Steph: We see you rollin'; we hatin'.
Ha!Ha! Cola up my nose, Tep.
I can't believe I'm the first person to post this:
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.
billytea, in Movies:
I have one question: 3D or not 3D? (Oh, look, it's Hamlet, adjusted for inflation.)
Missed this in the movie thread and just nosed a beer. Oh my, that made me laugh.
The Point of Gaming, from -t and billytea during the latest BSG (in the Gaming thread, of course):
-t: Um. I don't know what I should be trying to do here?
billytea: Well, obviously you should be trying to entertain me, which means MAXIMUM 'SPLOSIONS. I'm not really sure how that works in this context, but see what you can come up with.
In F2F5, context schmontext:
Shir: I can't imagine a better place to be murdered by a clown.
Jessica, in Joss-verse. Spoiler-font for Agents of SHIELD.
They come from warring factions on the planet of Winsome Big-Eyed Brunettes. Syke's parents were warriors of clan Just Say What You Mean, Goddamnit, while Raina's people hail from the Kingdom of Oblique Referrals.
