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.
Wash: Well, I wash my hands of it. It's a hopeless case. I'll read a nice poem at the funeral. Something with imagery. Zoe: You could lock the door and keep the power-hungry maniac at bay. Wash: Oh, no, I'm starting to like this poetry idea now. Here lies my beloved Zoe, my autumn flower, somewhat less attractive now she's all corpsified and gross...

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Ginger sums it up in Bitches:
I don't think Captain Logic is driving this tugboat.

And none of us deserving the cruelty or the grace -- Leonard Cohen
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?

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?

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

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

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
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.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
