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.
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:

I picture her perched on top of all of them, whining that she can still feel the pea.
Zen, in Natter
Quit flooding your dog's system with Jesus Christ, people, he needs to drink that water, not walk on it.
(I think it's funnier without context)
