Jessica, in Bitches:
One of my sisters didn't read for pleasure until she was in her twenties. (Of course, she was also the only one of us with any kind of social skills, so it's possible she was just out having friends while the rest of us hid in our rooms and read. We still thought she was weird.)
Aims, in Bitches:
Parenting is not for the weak. That's for damn sure.
Victor sums up a phenomenon in Jossverse: But, show's over, so there's not much use in wondering what's next? (Except in fan fic, where inevitably the next chapter entails sex with Spike.)
Sophia Brooks: Is the Hadron Collider named after a person named Hadron? Because I cannot stop reading it as the Hardon collider and am wondering if Mr. or Ms. Hadron have that problem with the name.
amych: A hadron is a kind of particle. But you're so not the first to think that (note that largehardoncollider.com is NSFW)
Sophia Brooks: That makes more sense, amych. I was thinking that in naming something with Large and Collider, they should have avoided using Mr. Hardon's name

And because Sophia was on a roll...
ETA: I found out, after about a year of speaking is LOLcat phrases at work that NO ONE KNOW WHAT A LOLCAT WAS!!! And they must have thought I was completely crazy for saying things like "I can has copy paper?"
Matt the Bruins Fan in Movies, on taglines:
Michael Caine: Yes, That's Me in Your Wedding Video
Zenkitty - in Cable Drama - context be damned:
But you know... man walks down the street with hair like Mary Tyler Moore, you know he ain't afraid of anything.
Ginger, musing in Natter:
I don't think I need a "Dog Inside" sign. Any rescuer entering the house will notice the dog biting his ankle.
sarameg: Morning is stupid.
From Natter:
Sophia Brooks: Why does Harry Chapin's "Cat's in the Cradle" make me cry? I am not a father, nor a son, nor did my mother ignore me in favor of her job. But still, I weep.
Amy:I think they passed a law in the 1970s that it has to make you cry or ... you lose.
In Natter, weighing in on the ban of D&D in prisons:
Calli: Yeah, without D&D the inmates will be all, "This isn't quite optimal, but I guess I'll linger quietly for a bit."
Aims: See, the prison officials are thinking about it all wrong. What they should do is make prison a big, giant LARP. Assign characters on their way in, they get character points for doing good things, lose karma points for doing bad things, and if they want to shank a motherfucker, they gotta roll initiative with a -20.
