Inara: So, explain to me again why Zoe wasn't in the dress? Mal: Tactics, woman. Needed her in the back. 'Sides, those soft cotton dresses feel kinda nice. It's the whole... air-flow.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love

It's like Guardians of the Galaxy meets Dune but they don't have anything to say to each other so they just stand around awkwardly for two hours and then leave.

It is a truth universally acknowledged that any URL containing the words "thetruthabout" must be in want of the facts.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

Sophia: The big clock temperature thing said -0. I think it was confused.

Jesse: Yeah, that screams "I don't know! I give up! Can the display just read COLD AS BALLS???"

Funny cause it's true. On the advantages of the home office: When you work from home, nobody can hear you issuing death threats. So at least I've got that going for me, which is nice.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

...when I walk away from the internet and then walk back, the wrong comment is still there, in all its wrongness. I need new coping strategies.

sj My coping mechanism on Facebook is to hide the message from my feed immediately.

quester that's how I deal with spiders.

billytea But it's only a temporary fix. It'll still be there, lurking on the web.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

And Jilli draws her line on attractiveness:

Fangs don't trump depression and wearing a wig made of dead possums, apparently.

I'll have to work on a stern and steely gaze to accompany the statement, "Of COURSE this is business casual. Please note that it's an underbust corset."

A stern and steely gaze sounds like the perfect accessory for any work party.

Nana korobi, ya oki. (Fall down seven times, stand up eight.) ~Yuzuru Hanyu/Japanese proverb

I'd say for this one that we don't need no stinkin' context, except that llamas might be extinct by then for all I know. But when we are celebrating Internet Freedom Day lo these many years down the road, we should remember:

Susan W in Natter:

My two favorite comments on the llama and dress weirdness of yesterday's internet, both pulled from Twitter:

Biden: WOOO FREE INTERNET
Obama: Joe, would you cut it-
Biden: SET LOOSE THE LLAMAS
Obama: CAN YOU JUST-
Biden: RELEASE NANA'S TRICK DRESS

And also:

"...and that kids, is how February 26th became National Internet Day, and why we decorate llamas in white and gold"

To which someone immediately responded:

"Yeah, but dad... Some of the kids in my class decorate their llamas in blue and black."

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

flea: I just learned that the kicker for the Patriots has a 5 year old son named SLAYDEN.

Tom: Also, a 7 year old named KILLGORE and a 3 year old named MAIMIE.

Jessica: So basically, they're breeding a death metal band?

Matt the Bruins Fan, in Natter:

Okay marketing people, "Rock Me like a Hurricane" is not a good choice of song to go with Fiber One cookies. I do not want to be living out the Colon Blow cereal commercial.
