Every planet has its own weird customs. About a year before we met, I spent six weeks on a moon where the principal form of recreation was juggling geese. My hand to God. Baby geese. Goslings. They were juggled.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Best LOTR-themed conversation we've had in months:

ita: If your username contains "smeagol" you really shouldn't be surprised to learn Aragorn was in his 80s during LotR

Steph: Dang, dude looks pretty good for being an oldster.

ita: He's Dunedain, originally descended from elf-hybrid.

billytea: You can tell he's a hybrid, he's environmentally friendly and gets great mileage.

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

Tom Scola: I like my porn to look like fashion photography more than I like fashion photography to look like porn.

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.

I can't find my teeny tiny screwdriver. OMG, what kind of a geek am I? That's like not knowing where my uv light is. OMG! Where's my UV light?

Compassionately intolerant

In Bitches, Theodosia made me chortle with this:

It sounds like Abney Park is the living example of "Steampunk is when Goth discovers brown."

Jilli, in Natter:

It really is a shame that the rest of you can't see Pete and StuntHusband sitting here, playing Little Big Planet 2. The ranting! The squinchy faces! The exclamations of dismay and ire as they throw cupcakes!

Cable drama. True and funny.

lenubian: I liked the article, but the comments section makes me fear for the future of humanity.

DavidS: AV Club comments are like a non-stop media geek slapfight and hairpulling contest.

erikaj: With bonus "screenplay in a drawer," and "I liked this BEFORE everyone else did."

Context? Who needs it!?

ita:

I think I'd prefer someone thought I was going to crap a lot than I was going to go home and fuck my vegetables.

Shir goes to university. Seska is getting PhD. I work at university. All too busy to do much else. I think this university thing is a racket. It might be an alien control thing. Ooo! I get it now. They attract the brightest minds, then devoid them of life, suck the energy out of them, and BAM! They can conquer the world a lot easier! Be on the look out for big V ships invading a university town near you.

Seska

You know too much, omnis. You're going to get yourself abducted now.

Sophia Brooks: Oh, and if you are a little girl who likes to pretend she is a witch and steal your neighbors vegetable garbage to make potions, make sure that you do not attempt to steam the jalapeno peppers. Not that I would know this from experience or anything!
