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...
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.
to which billytea responded:
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.
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.
Holy cow, I didn't realize that was a cross-post! I thought it was just wacky advice for Hil!
Nope, it was fairly sensible advice to Aims a few posts back.
Oh thank goodness. I'm on the train on my BB and I saw that and came right here to make sure someone had commed that.
From Natter:
Kat: iPhone edited my fuck into duck. Charming
Plei: You have to train it. I sent so many emails in the early days where I was saying "Duck! Shot!" a lot.
Jesse: Oh, I keep forgetting I have to work Sunday. Must not forget that on Sunday! But the work includes a Duck Tour, so I'm looking forward to it.
Gudanov: I hope you're not posting from an iPhone.
