Walking down Memory Lane in Natter:
Calli: Awwwww. I just got Nigerian inheritance spam. It's been years since one of those made it through my filters. I feel downright nostalgic.
Gudanov: It's a classic for a reason.
Oh, yeah. There was this time I was pinned down by this guy that played left tackle for varsity... Well, at least he used to before he was a vampire... Anyway, he had this really, really thick neck, and all I had was a little, little Exact-O knife ... You're not loving this story.

Omnis: So the big questions is why? Why are meetings boring and ineffective?
Gud: Because nobody brought the asshooks?

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
NoiseDesign : You've never been to a Diablo Sound meeting.
billytea : Expect that to continue.

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir
in the gaming thread, with the vis a vis version of Battlestar Galactica:
Random McNasty
Cripes, Sharon, would you can it!? You're breaking the 4th wall, you lunatic! Yes, we know the entire audience is watching me talking with the Admiral, but we must maintain the fiction that is only him and me.
You're already in trouble for jumping the ship; don't jump the shark while you're at it...

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
Also from the gaming thread, Admiral Adama Raq discusses threat assessment:
The centurion that's been standing in the hall near the launch bay is apparently busy trying to figure out how to get rid of Mr. Clippy ("Hi! It looks like you are trying to board a battlestar! Would you like some help with that?"), so he's not an immediate threat either.

It's worse than that. I just double-checked the records, that one's running Windows Vista.

StuntHusband with an amazingly awesome Aliens reference:
But right now, I'm viewing Gentlemen of My Persuasion as akin to xenomorphs. Nukes, orbit, surety, etc. etc. etc.

My stove just caught fire.
I was trying to boil water.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
Possibly the Awesomest Cross-Post Ever:
Hil R.: I know someone who had slept with the guys she dated in high school and college, then became more religious after college and stopped even touching men she wasn't related to. She married a guy who I'm pretty sure was a virgin, and they didn't even hold hands until after their wedding. They've got two kids now, and she keeps trying to set me up with her husband's younger brother.
Vortex: Just tell her that you're allergic and you don't want to swell up like a balloon and die.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
Holy cow, I didn't realize that was a cross-post! I thought it was just wacky advice for Hil!
