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.
Sing it sister!
Erin, in Bitches: It always amazes me that some guys will do most anything to get INSIDE a vagina, but dealing with a vag as anything other than a penis-wallet is anathema.
Present supercool Buffistamen, excepted.
Ginger: A pet keeps reminding you of its existence. A plant, not so much. I could probably keep an indoor plant alive if it would scratch at the door for more sunlight and looking longingly at the faucet.
Steph L. in Bitches, on migraine remedies:
I am SO hopped up on migraine goofballs right now I fully expect the purple-spotted elephant floating next to me to start talking ANY TIME NOW.
Burrell in Natter:
It was clearly marked with a warning label!! And way less traumatic than many other links that have been posted here! Hasselhoff may be tragic, but it's no goatse.czx
billytea on the dangers of Winter:
NOOO! So begins our long nightmare of 60-degree winter weather. How, how will I go on? If things get really bad, we might even get a frost! (One frost. All winter. Hey, those things are dangerous! I've heard "Wildfire", it killed a horse!)
Liese S.: Ha. I was amused last night at how long it took from thread creation to the first post alone! I am the midnight thread creator what creates at midnight.
