Personally, I've always considered gizzards to be more exercise equipment for the jaws than food (my mother used to fry them for dinner ... I went hungry those nights).
Angel: Is that what you think you are--a hero? Spike: Saved the world didn't I? Angel: Once. Talk to me after you've done it a couple more times.

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

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
In Boxed Set, billytea channels K9 as a cat:
"Hey, you! Yes, the one with the scarf. Have we met before? Ok, never mind about that. I'm bored. Go fetch that robot parrot thing I killed once. I want to bat it around some more. No, the parrot thing. Belonged to Captain Shouty. Pushed you off a cliff. God, that was funny. ...Well I don't see why you're complaining. You pushed Romana off a cliff next adventure, you don't really have much high ground there. Probably fall off it if you did. There's an epitaph for you. Name: Doctor Scarf. Nemesis: heights. None of which is fetching my dead parrot."

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
Dana, in Natter:
We once requested screenshots to use in online training, and the company faxed them over.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
Zen, in Bitches, with a sentiment I think many of us can relate to:
There's a flaw in my system, and I think it's me.

Steph in Boxed Set, spoilery for Arrow (mostly for Arrow dialogue, I think it's plot point free):
Loved Ollie's line about not being as emotionally healthy as Barry. Oh, sweetie, you aren't as emotionally healthy as Gollum.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
In Natter -
billytea: News of the boy: tonight I passed the toilet to discover Ryan standing in front of the loo, peeing and saying over and over, "Downloading, downloading, downloading..."
I'm wondering if I should be concerned as to what he's been learning in his tech classes.
NoiseDesign: Yeah. I think that would more accurately be uploading.
billytea: I was going with live streaming, myself.

flea, in Natter: I also recently had The Talk that every mother has to have with her growing daughter at some point. No, not THAT talk ... the Leggings Are Not Pants talk.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Saw this from ita in the Bureaucracy thread. I know how thwarted she felt by her health issues, but this line made me feel a tiny bit better. She knew what a beautiful thing she had made. She knew its worth and value. An amazing legacy in itself, for all the other worlds she didn't get to conquer.
