Hil R. in Bitches:
There are several bars downtown closing today because they don't want to deal with the drunk people. Something has gone too far when bars are shutting down to avoid drunk people.

Hil R. - Dogs went to church?
Gudanov - I assume that's before they knew that all dogs go the heaven anyways.
Connie Neil, in Bitches:
So I'm looking at one of my favorite Scandinavia and the World comics, about the penis museum in Iceland.
I'm looking at the last panel, where Iceland is showing off his lamp made from testicles. My phone rings, and I say "Company Name Te--"
And my tongue locks up, because my brain just realized I was about to say "Testicle Support."
Regarding Tom paying off his mortgage...
Theo at least put the money you were putting into the mortgage toward other things!
Tom Scola HOOKER AND BLOW!!!
DavidS in Bitches:
I think that's the kind of behavior one can expect from somebody named Uncle Dickhead
Zenkitty hilariously in Bitches:
I am such a shitty gardener, you'd think I could fertilize with my mere presence.
In Goodbye and Good Riddance, this made me laugh and get allergies:
Erin: (After describing Shir’s awesome Slacker Santa gift) Rav todot, havera sheli! Toda raba. (Did I get the Hebrew right? I didn't call you a fish, or a perfume bottle or something, did I?)
Shir: …The Hebrew is fine, I think (if it's supposed to be "thank you very much, my friend! Thank you"). I'm always touched when people who aren't speaking Hebrew are trying to translate things into it. It's fucking hard to get anything right.
Erin: The last part was supposed to be "you are very kind" but at least it wasn't "your mother was a llama" so it's good!
Shir: What do you mean, my mother was not a llama?!
Erin: OMG, you were NEVER TO KNOW! I am living in shame that I have revealed your dark family secret!
Shir: Llamas and secrets and lies! Evil lies!
Erin: That's family for you...
Shir: t Tucklehugz Erin That's family for me.
On how to price publishing advice services, in bitches.
Steph L.: I thought about that, but I'm not sure how much of a fee I can charge for punching authors in the head.
In Natter, amych scores on the putback...
Ginger: We used to speculate that the Vanderbilt squirrels, isolated on a tree-filled campus surrounded by lethal streets. They had no fear. Once I was between a tree and the garbage can a squirrel was jumping to. The squirrel landed in my cleavage.
DavidS: Oh, Ginger. You're like a like vortex of chaos generation. Which is really not your nature so I'm assuming it's weird physics.
Ginger: I didn't mention I was taking a milkshake to my sick roommate, so I ended up with a chest covered with tiny scratches and my clothes covered with milkshake.
amych: There's your problem. Your milkshake brought all the rodents to the yard.
(Not really COMMing myself - I'm just the kickoff.)
From Tech:
Amych: I do continue to love the Apple rumor mill, which more or less seems to run on nothing more substantial than unicorn farts and mashable saying "I wanna pony! HEY GUYS! STEVE IS GONNA RELEASE A PONY!!"
tommyrot: I WANT A PONY!
t /inner 6-year-old girl>
Jessica: I heard a rumor that the iPony is going to come in white.
Tom Scola: All you iPony owners are going to be so jealous when Apples comes out with the iUnicorn the following year.
tommyrot: Then of course hackers will be attaching horns to their iPonies. Things will get bloody.
ita: WhatEVER. I will be riding the Google Stallion.
sumi: I'm waiting for the iPegasus.
tommyrot: Or maybe the iGalactica. Although for work reasons I'll probably end up with the MS Enterprise.
