Not a funny quotation this time, but definitely a sentiment worth preserving:
Liese:
Change happens in the heart, one person wrestling with it at a time, and over time (and probably through backtracks) that one person becomes a different person. And that person is in the world, so you have changed the world.
From Bitches:
WindSparrow: Is there a corollary to Godwin's Law about quoting from The Lord of the Rings?
Did anyone else read the above as "I triple dong dare you?" or is that something only a porny pants would do?
Jilli Voice of Reason:
MCR CONCERT TONIGHT! Cass and I are each other's designated adults. Someone be ready to post bail or provide an alibi, 'kay?
billy tea:
"Yes, we stole this car, but her folks didn't mind."
I go away and come back to this (Windsparrow in Bitches):
I think I just rolled my eyes so hard they fell out, and now the cats are batting them around on the floor.
Her response to finding out what "Gor" is (ignorance really can be bliss).
Erin:
Of course politicians get paid during a shut-down. That makes...sense. To them. Because most politicians are hovering on the brink of penury.
Ginger:
I know a frequent flyer whose motto is "If you've never missing a plane, you've wasted too much of your life in airports."
Gudanov, in Natter, on the ridiculousness of HR-speak:
Sing it. I hate seeing that "We are looking for people passionate about [some corporate task nobody in the history of everything has ever been passionate about]". What's next "We are looking for people who achieve sexual climax when scheduling conferences"?
From Natter.
msbelle: ....a magnetic elf, some cilantro, and a spork walk into a bar.
Perkins: Was one of them carrying a root?
Also Natter:
Calli:
Go not to the elves for cooking, for they will run both hot and cold.
Yet more Natter:
ita:
Words with Friends wouldn't let me play "slut." I'm a bit offended.
aurelia:
Words with Friends has denied other mildly off-color words for me. It's a little prudish.
ita:
I checked their word list, and it's on there, but they say they don't allow offensive words. I know it was blocking something else for me I was sure was a word, and I guess that was it too.
Erin:
Hmph. Words with friends does not know their etymology very well, because slut only came to mean a promiscuous woman fiarly recently.
For centuries, it meant a slovenly woman, usually in a housekeeping or an appearance contest. That's why an old term for dust bunnies is "slut's wool."
msbelle:
and Cinderella was once Cinderslut!
Calli:
I bet there's porn where she still is.
