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

Did anyone else read the above as "I triple dong dare you?" or is that something only a porny pants would do?

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

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.

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.

I’m responsible for my own happiness? I can’t even be responsible for my own breakfast! (Bojack Horseman)

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"?

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

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.

the hardest to learn / was the least complicated

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.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

Steph in Natter:

Lie back and think of quadratic equations.

Unless you dig quadratic equations. In which case, keep your kinky freaky math to yourself.

More Natter.
