In Natter:
Nora Deirdre: But then I am a Scrooge, so feel free to disregard...
David S: You don't like Valentine's Day either. I suspect you'd stab Arbor Day in the heart given half a chance.
I am not...I am not the damsel in distress. I am not some case. I have to work this. I've lived in a cave for 5 years in a world where they killed my kind like cattle. I am not going to be cut down by some monster flu. I am better than that. What a wonder...how very scared I am.

I wish I could just go somewhere to get flensed but none of the whaling ships near me take Medicare.

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.

We must counter pernicious mansplaining with a grandiose vagenda.

billytea: Apparently for some reason, "Stop fiddling with it!" is a harder message to get across to male investors.
Jessica: As the mother of a 3 year-old boy, I could make a few guesses...

Cass in Bitches:
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
I would buy both of those.

Amy in Supernatural setting faux fans straight:
But I judge anyone who doesn't want to watch straight through from the beginning. Earn your fan status, people.

In Natter, a convo on Top Gear:
Kathy A: Second fave was probably the "drive from Switzerland to Blackpool on one tank of gas" challenge. Did James ever make it at all?
Cass: They all made it. I have no idea how.
Someone must have been replaced their gas tanks with menorahs.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
In Natter, Matt the Bruins fan responds to report of an ant invasion:
Matt: If bugs want to live in my space, they need to learn to make themselves cuter. You don't see me reaching for the pesticides or swatters if kittens find their way inside.
