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."
Connie Neil (obviously on a roll) in Bitches:
Some people do extreme sports. Some do extreme doughnuts.
In Natter:
tommyrot:
OK, I've heard "Rule 34," but not all of this:
Rule 34 States: “If it exists, there is porn of it.” See also Rule 35: “If no such porn exists, it will be made.” Generally held to refer to fictional characters and cartoons, although some formulations insist there are "no exceptions" even for abstract ideas like non-Euclidean geometry, or puzzlement.
There's non-Euclidean geometry porn? Uh-oh.
Gudanov:
I'm sure it exists, but it's hard to visualize.
Jesse clears things up (Natter):
Anyway, frig and fridge are not pronounced the same way, and only one of them is an abbreviation for refrigerator.
ita takes a brave stand, in Natter:
I vote for more infants with brains.
Dana, on Lady Gaga and her Grammy bits:
If you click on it, you get a bigger version. And you are then legally married to Lady Gaga in twenty-three states.
