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....
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.
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.
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.

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."
Sophia Brooks:
Traffic in my city is backed up because of cabbages! A cabbage truck has turned over on the highway!
-t:
Not the cabbages!
msbelle_Rebecca:
Release the rabbits!
In Natter:
Dana:
This is the second time today I've been in the bathroom with a woman who didn't wash her hands. I guess it might have been the same woman both times.
-t:
So I guess you aren't working from home today.
-t: I'm tired of the lizard people getting the blame for everything typographical. There are serif and sans serif types among lizard people just like any group.
Sophia Brooks: A cabbage truck has turned over on the highway!
brenda m: If life were The Simpsons, a mayonnaise truck would crash next.

ah, the Buffistas ... herding cats with spreadsheets
