Steph L: I'm not saying that the swine (or any) flu is nothing to worry about, that we should all go about blithely licking doorknobs and asking people to cough on us. But there's a lot of overreaction going on already, and it does no one any good.
I just think it's rather odd that a nation that prides itself on its virility should feel compelled to strap on forty pounds of protective gear just in order to play rugby.

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

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
In Bitches, on using a blender for the first time.
Scrappy
It's like using a toaster--not a task which requires more than, say, 15 seconds of "learning."
Teppy:
Toaster OVEN, though -- YEARS of study, my friend. YEARS.

How are you me? You need to stop that. Only I can be me. ~Kara
Noise Design: I think the first question here is can you successfully feed yourself without vicodin and without the blender, once that has been established then we can begin to add variables one at a time.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
shrift, calli, natter
shrift: So it turns out that SHOUT Wipes do a fairly decent job at cleaning blood stains.
Calli: I'll remember this for the next all-staff meeting.

I know my own heart and understand my fellow man. But I am made unlike anyone I have ever met. I dare to say I am like no one in the whole world. - Anne Lister
In Movies:
Steph L.: Oh, no no no. Never dis The Goonies!!!
DavidS: Not only do I dis it, I pull off its head and shit down its neck.
Then I put it inside a turducken and deep fry it. When it's golden brown and crispy, I deface it with magic markers, mocking it in pidgin French and then I bury it in a box in a hole with an atomic powered iPod set to play Celine Dion in an endless loop.

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