Tom Scola in Bitches: For all my deep metaphysical issues, the first place I always turn to is HuffPo.
Can't drink, smoke, diddle my willy. Doesn't leave much to do other than watch you blokes stumble around playing Agatha Christie.

Yoga was not as transformative as I had hoped. I blame my boobs.

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
Brenda M: Those people are idiots. None of those top passwords (until you get to monkey, really) are at all easy to type.
That may not be in everyone's top criteria for passwords, I suppose. Personally I hate having a password that's awkward to type.

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.
billytea, in Natter:
I use 'bugger' as one of my go-to swear words. Despite the referent, it's really quite mild in the Australian context. (And the English.) I got called out on it once, on a board frequented by Mormons, again by someone who'd spent some time in England. (For some reason they thought I was a teenager going for shock value.) I apologised sincerely, assuring them I hadn't intended to slip anything in through the back door. Signed off with "Roger and out". They complimented me on my courtesy.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

billytea: Apparently for some reason, "Stop fiddling with it!" is a harder message to get across to male investors.

A vague disclaimer is nobody's friend. A vague caveat makes me worry about liability.

We must counter pernicious mansplaining with a grandiose vagenda.
This needs to be on mugs and T-shirts. Perhaps in a series with "Just eat a muffin whitey!"

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there
