In Natter:
DavidS: Just dropped Matilda off at her second camp of the summer. First she did a week and a half of Camp Tofu.
Steph: What does Camp Tofu entail? (I hope the answer involves really good pad thai.)
Gud: I assume you go out into nature and absorb the flavors.
In Natter: who needs stinking context?
Matt the Bruins Fan: When dealing with the TSA and boarding agents at an airport I can certainly understand the urge to murder people in grisly fashion before taking off in flight, so perhaps the metaphor is still an apt one?
Jesse, dare I say it, trumping my remark in Natter:
Dana: OMG, I'm trying to be snarky on FB and almost used "trump" as a verb (in its normal sense), and then realized I needed to find another word to use.
I went with "one-up."
Me: Stupid orange-headed fool taking perfectly good words away from us. I see outraged bridge clubs muttering dolefully into their tea cakes.
Jesse: Or passive-aggressively poking at each other. "Three NO TRUMP!!!!"

You know what's awesome in an overwhelming way? Mountain Dew with lemon vodka. It tastes like a melted alcoholic lollipop. Super refreshing, as your eyes roll back.
Dana in Natter, definitely not being sarcastic:
Woohoo, chaos at work. This is definitely the best thing that ever happened to me since I got my sarcasm module removed.
Natter...
Dana: My neighbor is coming over. Here you can see the shakiness of my principles -- he's a Trump supporter, and yet I needed someone to deal with the bug.
Connie Neil: The perfect person to deal with not-quite-dead roaches!
JZ on watching the first presidential debate:
I'm joining Jesus in drinking gin straight from the dog dish tonight.
Matt the Bruins fan in Boxed Set:
At this point they should have Mandy Patinkin dress up as Inigo Montoya and tell Barry that sometimes you just have to let things go.
Town Hall Truths:
aurelia
There's a bug flying around his head.
Steph L.
It's attracted to the rotting carcass of his soul.

Amy in Delurking:
It's always like coming home to that rambling but comfortable house where everyone is usually cozily tucked into random nooks and corners, talking, but gets together in the big ballroom once in a while to get crazy and tackle-hug. I miss it.
