Burrell: Maybe you misspelled it "goolie"?

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

Kat: Wondering what to do with your placenta? Howabout making a cuddly teddy bear out of it? Or, artwork. or print a tshirt. [link]

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
Calli: My parents planted trees for my sister and me, but I don't think placentas were involved. Just blue spruce. I don't hate the thought of burying a placenta--you can compost just about anything organic. But it seems like one more thing to keep track of for a new parent. What with feeding and diapering and juggling helpful (or "helpful") relatives, who wants to bother tracking down a shovel and a sapling?

Sophia Brooks: I just have to say this because I cannot yell at my cow-orker-- Punk existed in the 70's!!!!!!!!!
Tom Scola: It was all steam-powered way back then, but yeah.
billytea: Wait, that was steampunk? No wonder I find musical culture so confusing.
It does at least explain the Sex Pistols' album, "Never Mind The Bollocks, Here's The Velocipedes".

In Bitches, Trudy proposed George Clooney rentals:
showing up at your house in a tux after you've had a hard day and making you a pot of tea and listening to you bitch about your boss...
meara:
OMG, I would love this. Or I vote for the Old Spice Man clad in towel, making tea, listening to me bitch, and then saying crazy things about what we will do to my boss and how he will make me feel better.
Vortex:
See, a towel would be too much temptation.
meara:
Well, not for ME. :)

In Natter:
amych: I pretty much suspect that the only alarm that would actually work would be a Clocky. Or it could just end up dead in a distant corner of the room, with me curled up over its wee fragmented machine-body, still holding the sledgehammer, sound asleep and with no memory of ever having chased it down to destroy it.
Yes, I am confused by mornings and all that they contain.

Now I want to go back into customer service. I would rock at tech support.
"Can you see the moon? Yes? You need an adapter."
"Ah, what we have here is an AF1022 afterburner sequencing error. You'll need three tea towels...NOT hand towels, TEA towels...a pound of butter and sixteen cat's eye marbles."
"Now, reach inside...no, no DON'T unplug it! That would make this all pointless! Now, jam your screwdriver in the big power box...which one of us is the expert here?"
"You're fucked."
