Aims, in Bitches:
If people are going to insist on using troll logic, then I demand they start wearing spiky hair, dyed green or red, and have a large rhinestone in their belly for people to rub for luck. You gonna use the logic, look like a freaking troll
Kristen in b'crazy, because truthiness.

Laga:
Why can't sweet sensible people end up with other sweet sensible people and the psychos date each other?
Miracleman:
Hey, it can happen. Aims and I ended up together...
...and somewhere out there, there are two sweet sensible people who may have found each other as well.
Aims:
Hey!!
Miracleman:
Tell me I'm wrong. I dare you.
Aims:
You're wrong.
Miracleman:
Okay, now mean it.
C'mon, we've always said it's a good thing we found each other because nobody else was as uniquely suited to put up with each others' crap as we are.
He reads comics and collects toys; she reads and writes Harry Potter fic. Together, they fight crime! Very specifically weird crime.
connie neil:
Hubby and I say we married each other to spare two innocent souls the grief of living with us.
Jilli, Voice of Reason:
Every now and then, single male friends of mine will lament that they can't find nice, sane goth girls. "Like you, Jilli!" I then laugh and laugh at them, and explain that no, I'm not sane. It's just that Pete and I are well matched in crazycakes.

Laga:
You know how the wii fit says that while working out you should visualize your ideal body?
Raq:
I have no problem with this - I visualize Jared Padalecki.

Tommyrot:
In the Onion book Our Dumb Century, there's a fake ad for some patent medicine that has a big list of all the old-time-y diseases and conditions that it cures - stuff like TB and consumption, and what-not. But my fave thing it cures is "the screaming shits."
Beverly:
I think I've had those.
I just came across this gem of Buffista parenting way back in Natter and had to COMM(A) it:
Gudanov: I found out my daughter's class is covering forces and gravity. I was trying to tell how gravity is really cool and is the warping of time and space. I also tried telling how time slows down for observers in higher gravity. She seemed really unimpressed by all this. I did tell her to stick with the class answer of 'force that attracts objects to each other' rather than 'warping of space-time' on any tests.

erikaj: But I'm part Irish-American with a tortured soul and a psycho family
Shir: Oh, I'm just Jewish. I guess that's pretty much wraps it up the same.

Overheard at work:
"Oh come on. It's pretty easy to tell if something is shit or coffee."
tommyrot
Um... are those metaphors? ... I mean, I hope the person is not talking about some new business that serves both coffee and hot shit in a cup....
Gudanov
A crappuccino.

I guess everything really does sound better in Italian.
in music...
megan walker - What mainstream term would one use to categorize Violent Femmes? Alternative Rock?
tommyrot - College Rock? Post-Punk?
I don't think the term "Alternative" was in use during their heyday....
I think I've heard them labeled as Folk-Punk back in the day.
DavidS - Close enough. You could also go for American Indie.
Trudy Booth - I think they prefer "Native Alternitan"
Thanks for catching that in full, Laga!
