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?
smonster in Natter, context be damned:
Won't someone think of the hungry pregnant demons?
in Natter, megan walker's solution to pesky fruit flies:
Step 1: Open a bottle of wine, red or white.
Step 2: Drink wine (leaving about 1/2 an inch at the bottom of the bottle).
Step 3: Leave open bottle of wine out near where flies congregate.
Step 4: Be amazed at how little flies get trapped inside and can't get out. Aaaawww, poor flies.
Step 5: Laugh.
Step 6: Profit?
More of a warm smile at than anything spewed on.
-t: I am the cat who walks alone and all places are the same to me.
Amych, on introversion:
It's like your shields in a video game -- you have a certain number of hit points you can take (or other humans or units of interaction or stresses or embarrassments or whatever) before your defense goes critical and you have to withdraw to repair/recharge/whatev. And the thing is, some people can have pretty badass shields and go in swinging and not really care, and even really truly *like* the interaction, but when they reach that point, gotta make repairs. And some people don't have a lot of defense at all, but they're good at picking their tactics and engagements and make it through. And... okay, I'm a big dork, am'n't I?
Jessica, in Natter:
In my experience, People Who Don't Get Computer Stuff just want to know what buttons to press. This person probably can't even see their monitor because it's covered in post-it notes listing key-sequences for complicated tasks like Opening A Word Document and Getting To A Web Page.
