This girl at school? She told me that gelatin is made from ground-up cow's feet and that every time you eat Jell-O there's some cow out there limping around without any feet. But I told her that I'm sure the cow is dead before they cut its feet off, right?

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

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."

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Teppy speaking for us all in Natter:

Zenkitty

I want to write everything in Comic Sans now. I really really do. I love Comic Sans.

Steph L.

I am pointing at you and screaming like Donald Sutherland in Body Snatchers.
Just so you know.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

In Natter,

Zenkitty: Interesting stuff happening today. Family intrigue. I'll either get money or a torrid novel out of it.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

There is so much before and after to that comic sans bit that it can't be in here, but it should be.

Our wings are not tired.

Flea in Natter:

But if Zen had a giant dick, I would totally be on it.

More of the whole Natter convo, edited:

Zenkitty: I haven't replied to him yet. I have to calm down enough to write an email that isn't going to get me fired. Yeah, he's a giant dick. He's a Fellow, he's been writing for us for twenty years or more, and he used to be the EiC for another of our journals (he was a dick over there too), so he really ought to know better than this crap.

Perspective, I haz it. I'm just gonna sit here in the air conditioning with my pizza and hard cider, and calmly wish fleas on my giant dick of an author.

Connie Neil: On my screen, the line ends with

"calmly wish fleas on my giant dick"

and I blinked in severe startlement until realizing A) I don't believe Zen has a giant dick, and B) the sentence continues.

flea: But if Zen had a giant dick, I would totally be on it.

Zenkitty: Why, flea, I'm flattered! Indeed, if I had a giant dick, everyone would be invited to be on it, because I'm generous that way.

msbelle_Rebecca: you people.

If I missed your comment, I apologize. I tried to capture the whole gestalt of the thing....

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Gudanov, summing it up in Natter:

I have to say I'm enjoying the Trump presidential run--it's like a rollercoaster, there's a lot of noise, nobody actually goes anywhere, and everybody feels a little sick at the end.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

WindSparrow in Bitches, because sometimes we all need a reminder:

Y'all know there isn't any minimum posting requirement, right? We are Buffistas, near and far, ebbing and flowing, present and distant. You aren't prodigals humbly returning after a rebellious departure. You belong here now as always, because you are (not were) Buffistas. All times are now.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Bitches:

erikaj - Somebody is going to be calling me a 'grammar nazi!1" any time now cause I just had fun with a "build the fence" guy not knowing the difference between "vicious" and "viscous" mockery.

Connie Neil - I hate viscous mockery, it's a bitch to get out of the carpet.

erikaj - except that he adopted that whole "talk some sense into the little lady" type vibe that I just hate like heat rash.

Ginger - It's the oozing that gets to me.

WindSparrow - He deserves viscous mockery. Mock away. Viscously.

erikaj - All Slime, no antlers.

We're all getting played with, babe. -Weird Barbie

In Natter:

shrift 5:50am shuttle is horrendously early. I don't wike it.

I'm not so sure about this 'examining your heartset and mindset' thing, either.

tommyrot Yeah. I'd just draw a crude picture of my head, with the inside labeled, "Here Be Dragons."
