In Natter --
JZ:
In other random bzuh?: At the birthday party we just came back from, everyone got little gift bags that include a Jungle Fun Fun Pad, a little preschool-level activity booklet full of simple mazes and connect-the-dots tiger cubs and so on, but also including "Mix The Animals" pages, mostly blank sheets with a prompt at the top to encourage the child to do hir own creative work. The prompts are...wrong.
"Daddy Elephant Meets Mommy Zebra. What does their baby look like?" Uh, I don't know, like an abomination unto God?
"Daddy Lion Meets Mommy Monkey. What does their baby look like?" WHAT. THERE IS NO BABY. THERE'S JUST A SATED-LOOKING LION WITH A MONKEY-SIZED LUMP IN HIS GUT, YOU SICK FUCKS.
WTF, Jungle Fun Fun Pad? You make me feel unclean.
Connie Neil:
Quick fic research question: In "Supernatural", does a ring of salt protect against vampires? Spike and Xander need to know.
ita:
It's never been demonstrated, Connie.
Connie Neil:
Thanks.
Zenkitty:
Ring of salt protects against *something*, but not vampires. Witches, maybe? I forget.
tommyrot:
Slugs?
In Natter.
tommyrot: You know what's cool? I can lay in bed and see the Moon and Jupiter out my window.
megan walker: If those were the names of two trannies, that could be my window.
In Natter (I'm really just the setup here)--
Steph:
Is this where I admit I have no idea who Tom Hardy is?
amyth:
Tom Hardy's a craxy English dude who was most recently in Inception.
Connie:
I keep thinking of Thomas Hardy the writer.
Calli:
His Myspace presence was somewhat tamer than the actor's.
amyth:
Though he kicked up some crazy shit on Twitter over Jude the Obscure.
In Bitches, no surprise there-
billytea:
Yeah, pooping during the birth of your child is really nothing to be embarrassed about. Unless you're the father.
smonster, in response to the verbal tic conversation:
"She wouldn't know a lolcat if it baked her a cookie and eated it."
Ginger
sums it up in Bitches:
I don't think Captain Logic is driving this tugboat.
In Natter:
tommyrot: It was obvious this would happen, but perhaps this might be a good story to forward to those opposed to the "ground-zero mosque":
“By preventing this mosque from being built, America is doing us a big favor,” Taliban operative Zabihullah tells NEWSWEEK. (Like many Afghans, he uses a single name.) “It’s providing us with more recruits, donations, and popular support.”
Jessica: I hate to say "We told you so," but...
Gudanov: I'm sure the people opposing the mosque could say they the extremists are just saying that so that we'll be tricked into building the mosque. Of course, then the other side could say they know we know they are trying to trick us so they are just telling the truth. Of course they may know we know they know...
Steph L.: The Taliban built up a tolerance to iocaine powder.
Jessica: So you're saying we should build TWO mosques?
