Lorne: Back in Pylea they used to call me "sweet potato." Connor: Really. Lorne: Yeah, well, the exact translation was "fragrant tuber" but…

the hardest to learn / was the least complicated

Bitches demonstrates why I love you people:

WindSparrow: Is it wrong of me to get a bit shirty over book spoilers casually dropped in entries on my LJ flist? It's not a huge plot spoiler - in fact does not touch on the plot at all, but still, if I were reading it for the first time in the book itself, it would be a bit of a HSQ moment in re: character background.

Polter-Cow: Andi, I'm very spoilerphobic, so I'd be annoyed as well, but shirtiness would depend on the magnitude.

tommyrot: How shirty would you be if I told you that in the Bible, Jesus dies?

Polter-Cow: DUDE. I HAVEN'T READ IT YET.

billytea: Just as well he left out the SHOCKING PLOT TWIST.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Miracleman filks in Bitches:

Elric the pasty emo
Had white skin and crimson eyes
And if you ever met him
You would see how much he cries
All of the other Imrryr
Used to laugh and call him names
They never let poor Elric
Join in any Imrryr games

Then one bloody, mis'rable day
Arioch came to say
"Elric with your skin so white
Won't! You be my slave tonight?"

Now all the other Imrryr
Are burnt to ash and smold'ring coals
'Cause Elric the pasty emo
Has a sword that feasts on souls!

Strega gets drunk in Movies (pass it on):

Hey, I had to type xenomorph while I was drunk. A couple of times! And y'all don't even know. I'm good at proofreading things to make it look like I'm only kinda drunk. It's a lot like when I was recapping! Um, ahem. But if there was no proofreading I'd be posting faster and also my posts would be like this

“Not dead yet!”

Hec and Trudy go at it in the Lurkers thread:

DavidS: Okay, I admit that cat owners are needy, though. You got me there.

Trudy Booth: icenay otay akemay ethay urkerslay eelfay ecomeway

::SMILES BIG AWKWARD PTA SMILE::

Welcome into the light, guys! See? We're not scary!

DavidS: That's the difference between lurkers and newbies.

The lurkers have seen this before.

Trudy Booth: Which renders it polite and warm?

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

And, as so often happens, JZ comes up with the perfect description:

It was like a double salchow/triple lutz combination move of wounded-parent bigotry.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

Dana, in Natter:

This is the most glorious Scola idea since chopsticks and Cheetos.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

Shriftian goodness:

As soon as I figure out how to accomplish things wholly through the power of my mind, a whole lot of people are going to get punched in the crotch simultaneously.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

ND weighs in on the Taco Bell discussion in Natter:

Taco Bell is American food on vacation in Mexico wearing a tacky sombrero.

Calli in Natter:

If someone made single serving meat loaf and called it a meat muffin I would probably eat it.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

In Boxed Set:

Jon B.: Is the new Prisoner a mini-series? Seems that way based on the scheduling, but I might have thought the same for V...

Tom Scola: There are only six episodes.

Jessica: I am not a number of episodes, I am a free - oh wait, yes, there are six.
