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.
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.
In Bitches, Aims models self-acceptance:
Put yer cheesecake in the air!
And eat it like you just don't care!
And now somebody!
Everybody!
Everybody scream "FUCK OFF! The BMI is not an appropriate measure of health!"
Connie Neil gets nostalgic in Natter:
I miss straightforward, wholesome songs like "Let's Get It On."
