Connie Neil in Natter:
Families sometimes seem like they should be run like Survivor--everybody meets on a regular basis and votes to see who stays on the island.
And I wonder, what possible catastrophe came crashing down from heaven and brought this dashing stranger to tears?

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Liese S. in Natter, waxing wise:
Past self is always a moron. All past selves are morons. Present self at least has the capacity to moron less.

Ann, that's a ferret.
Sometimes, content would subtract, rather than add. From Natter:
shrift: The internet eventually decided to come back so I could watch hockey. I totally am not doing work, though. Not in OT!
shrift (10 minutes later): THEY LOST THE PUCK IN THE GOALIE'S PANTS?!?!?!
DavidS: Okay, that's the greatest random sports update ever.
MatttheBruinsFan: I am now regretting my inattention to the hockey games tonight.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
In Natter.
Dana: I've been in my part of fandom so long, I almost have a hard time understanding why people get worked up over canon they don't like. I mean, of course I understand it, but there's also a part of me that's like "Canon isn't the boss of us!"

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

I'm a fucking amazing catch!--Fiona Gallagher, Shameless(US)
Given how much history is in that, I think the context would be as useful as, like, Wire spoilers. "Um, remember that guy from twenty episodes ago? He's back. Also, the Man's still gonna crush you. Have a nice day!" Sorry, newbies.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Religious discussion in Natter--
Tom Scola: It looks like it's a Calvinist thing. If everything is already predetermined, once you're saved, you can't be unsaved. Never mind all of the backsliding that goes on in the fundamentalist community.
Steph L.: Oh, right! I got the Calvinist stuff backwards.
It's been a long time since I've even thought about that stuff. At least I remembered "Calvinist."
Toddson: Calvin has a lot to answer for. As does Hobbes.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
More from Toddson:
I love the mixture of theology and antihistamines.
God bless you all (for one reason or another).

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs
From Boxed Set (this is everything I ever wanted in cultural commentary, possible Flash spoilers):
-t: The Snerts get more fun every time i see them
billytea: I had no idea The Flash had arranged a Dr Seuss crossover.
-t: Did you not see the episode about the dire threat of the Oobleck?

Why isn't everyone pelting me with JOY, dammit? - Zenkitty
Juliebird in Natter, on what her name would be if born in other decades:
I am Adilyn, not bad. The worst was Lakeysha. I'm envisioning that spelt with a dollar sign.
