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.

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."

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.

Toddson , summing us up in F2F5:

ah, the Buffistas ... herding cats with spreadsheets
