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.
Jayne: There's times I think you don't take me seriously. I think that ought to change. Mal: Do you think it's likely to?

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.

Shir: Oh, I'm just Jewish. I guess that's pretty much wraps it up the same.

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.

"Oh come on. It's pretty easy to tell if something is shit or coffee."

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.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
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!

Applesauce is pretty cool.
I mean, it's all fruity and mushy and tangy. Goes great with pork, or you can just stir it into yogurt for a quick and easy dessert.
That's what they should make a show about: applesauce. Fox, call me!
