Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Beverly: Amusing (to me, anyway): on a scenic drive yesterday we saw a flock of migratory ducks spread over a flooded field. "Oh look," H observed, "a field of ducks."
I nodded, and replied solemnly, "Autocorrect at work."
-t: Ha! Now I want an opportunity to say "I had one duck and it's gone"

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs
From Natter, the juxtaposition made me giggle.
aurelia: I just watched an ad in which one of the candidates for governor is literally juggling fire while he gives his campaign pitch.
Theodosia: That's what my life is missing -- a house pig!

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs
From Natter, a sentence I need to have embroidered on a pillow:
Zenkitty: It's not all about the money, Matt. You can't put a price on the joy of not giving a shit.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
Atropa in Bitches:
More parents need to embrace what my Dad did: normal names or spelling, but you tell the kid something different until they need to see any official legal documents.
Signed, the woman who believed her middle name was "Vegomatic" until she was 16.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Buffistas are past masters at black humor. Desperately finding a ray of light in present horror this morning in Natter, slightly edited.
Toddson: Seemingly the DHS secretary decided to go out to eat (ironically at a Mexican restaurant) and was driven out by protesters standing around chanting "shame, shame".
Laura: As a general rule I let recognized people dine out without annoying them; I'd make an exception for people that take kids away from parents and keep them in cages.
Jessica: Yeah, I think if your policy is forcibly separating asylum seeking parents from their asylum seeking infants, I see no moral issue with a crowd of protesters forcibly separating you from your enchiladas.
Matt the Bruins fan: Or entrails. IJS.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
In Natter...
Dana: People misspell and mispronounce everything. No matter what. It's like a challenge.
shrift: Challenge accepted, Donna.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
Shir, in Natter:
Library informed me that they want their book back, as it has been in my possession for six weeks. Only six weeks. C'mon, library. It's practically like dating. You cannot ask me to return an item of interest after merely six weeks (OK, technically you can, but morally, really?). The book has only now begun to discover the way the sun casts its rays through the window and onto the shelf it is stored safely on; When I am going to bed; What I'm drinking next to my reading list. I finally got used to the damn font the print chose. Interrupting this affair so soon is simply unjust.
(And they say I do not have a romantic soul).

Mr. Scola’s wardrobe by Botany 500
DebetEsse: My sister (recent acquisition. You're not crazy if you don't remember me having a sister)
Gudanov: Does this mean your family has jumped the shark?

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?
shrift: I can't decide which one I need more: a nap or an alibi.
Calli: Give us the timeframe and we can let everyone know that you were innocently napping then.
