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

More of a warm smile at than anything spewed on.

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.

Stephanie, in Natter re: Ayn Rand:

I wouldn't take dating advice from her either.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

Daisy Jane, in Music, no context needed:

Knowing may be half the battle, but knowing buffistas will win it!

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

In Bitches, summing us up nicely.

Jessica: Being a Buffista means never having to say "Am I the only one who misread that?"

Daisy Jane: And yet, saying it anyway.

move out and draw fire

billytea in Bitches:

If I were ever to get a Hanzi tattoo, it would be 有仁 ('Yŏu Rén'). It means 'benevolent'. It's also Ryan's Chinese name. I'm pretty confident I haven't mistranslated it or missed any "Ich Bin Ein Berliner" wackiness (unless Wallybee's parents are in on it, and I wouldn't entirely put it past her father). It is, however, phonetically identical to "This toilet is occupied".

Ginger: I had a friend who became obsessed with hot yoga, and she too lost a lot of weight. I would only lose weight with hot yoga because one can't eat while passed out.

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir

Context? Who needs context? It's far better NOT having context!

In Bitches (where else?) javachik :

I hope someone got some last night, because I didn't! I was too busy enjoying myself!

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why? Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.

In the Gaming thread, BSG play-by-post.

billytea: Look how chatty you all got! *sniff* Makes a Cylon proud.

NoiseDesign: I'm so glad to know who my fellow appliance is.

omnis_audis: apparently you got the "water works" version. Maybe he's a dishwasher and not a toaster.
