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.
More from Toddson:
I love the mixture of theology and antihistamines.
God bless you all (for one reason or another).
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?
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.
In Natter:
Matt the Bruins Fan: I'm not sure what distinguishes inebriated from drunk
Aurelia: The ability to pronounce inebriated.
In Natter:
Rick: Changing the names of things gives an illusion of progress with very little expenditure of effort. That makes it a popular option.
in Natter:
-t: What do we want? Incremental change! When do we want it? In due course!
In Movies:
Tom Scola: One Direction Fan Fiction to Become Feature Film
Matt the Bruins fan: I don't know whether to be appalled by this and 50 Shade of Grey or enthusiastic at the signs that there will eventually be a Dean/Cas movie.
Ginger's wise - and eminently sane - medical advice:
Thinking about murder seemed like a really unfortunate side effect.
Connie Neil in Marvel Universe:
The utter blaseness in the face of oratical evil just makes me happy. "You didn't tell me he was this crazy." "He's really stepped it up a notch." You expect them to hold up scoring signs for Dr. Doom speeches or something. I guess the apparent history of mutual snark makes me happy.
"Why the hell did you give that incoherent rant a 9, Coulson?"
"I was impressed by his use of alliteration in the middle, sir."
"OK, yeah, that was good, but he lost points when he tried to work in the speech before Agincourt."
"You're right, 'we few, we happy few' doesn't really apply to cybernetic mollusks."
