It's just funny.
amych in Natter re: FB shenanigans:
You are not to blame for the vikings. Your interesting facebook companion is like "BUT THE VIKINGS!" and other people are like, bzuh? And then he's like "JFK! VIKINGS!" and other people are, here, have some trufax. And he's all "CIVIL WAR! VIKINGS! WILL NOBODY THINK OF THE VIKINGS!!!"
A conversation about interracial marriages turns to geology in Bitches:
Shir: Actually, thinking about it for a second: I have Hungarian, Polish, English, Lebanese, Israeli and German blood in me - and that's just up to the grandfathers' generation. One more up and there are countries which don't even exist today.
Mixing rocks.
Jessica: Mixing rocks.
Anyone else just have a Willow moment?
(Mix rocks? Why would anyone want to - oh.)
Jars: No! No mixing rocks! Sedimentary rocks with sedimentary rocks. Volcanic rocks with volcanic rocks. Metamorphic with metamorphic!
Shir: Racist!
Ginger: Rockist!
Polter-Cow: Geologist!
Ginger: But sedimentary rocks are already mixed.
Aims: NO EXCEPTIONS!
amych: I am shocked and saddened by this display of Tectonic Supremacism in our midst.
Jars: See what can happen? It's a slippery slope! And do sedimentary rocks last? Do they? A few million years and they weather away!
Ginger: They don't stand by their principles! Under pressure, they become entirely different rocks.
P-C, I would include this, too, in with the Rockist! Racist! bits, as it is part of what made me snicker.
Polter-Cow: Geologist!
I wanted to include it, but I felt weird COMMing myself. I'll stick it in to break up Ginger's.
I kinda thought you might feel that way, that it might help to validate it for you.
Or to make her look craxy. That's always worthwhile.
Pulling one piece out of a very serious conversation but:
Shir: I think that we've established that people are totally wrong.
billytea: I discovered this morning that he understands "Where are the penguins?" in Chinese. My son!
Ginger: It's probably the sentence he's heard most often, along with "Where are the echidnas" and "Who's a little naked mole rat?"
In Bitches:
Nora Deirdre: You are not responsible for my mental health!
Steph L.: Actually, I control it from afar.
