I like books. I just don't want to take on too much. Do they have an introduction to the modern blurb?

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.

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

More Natter.

flea: Dmitri Medvedev has an LJ. Presumably is it not about, say, Winchesters.

-t: Oh, I hope he's a Sam girl.

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

Liese S.: Seriously, people. I am an actual missionary, one who has only ever had sex with her husband, and I don't just do missionary position. I mean, come on. Vanilla is as vanilla does.

erikaj: Oh, dear God, why can't there be a social worker who's not an asshole? Of course, last time we met, he actually stood up for the Hayes code. I should feel sorry, being that he's the most obvious closet case since Ricky Martin,(way not as cute..way) but Jesus Christ! Sign my paperwork and go away, Garment Bag!

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

Connie Neil in Natter: I don't have time for a personality in the morning.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

Connie Neil in Natter:

I've never worried about what Hubby smells like -- so long as it's not blood.

(she's on a roll!)

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.

ita. Natter.

In the cafe this morning there was a woman with a cutesy kiddy backpack and she looked like she was one bad piece of news away from being a mass murderer. Like, really creepy. I hope no one looks at my lunchbox and thinks "She's not right. She's never been right."

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

I'd say I'm posting this without context, but really? It's not like it gets less dirty--or less funny--in context:

Zenkitty: Dear Brain: Talk about subby Batman should remain separate from talk about not eating the bottom part. Thanks.

ita: So subby Batman eats you starting from the bottom?

tommyrot: Yes. And there's pee involved.
