We're all getting played with, babe. -Weird Barbie

Hil in Bitches (something about this just cracks me up to no end):

My grandmother's will said that, if she died before her husband, then her husband would inherit almost everything, but her jewelry and china would go directly to her daughters. She was convinced that her husband was going to marry a 19-year-old shiksa who would take the jewelry and china. Since then, most of the other women in the family have put the 19-year-old-shiksa-clause into their wills. My mom was working on her will and asked my sister if she wanted the china, and my sister said no, it's not really her style. Then she asked me, and I said the same thing. So she sighed and said, "I guess the 19-year-old shiksa can have the china after all."

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

Raq in Lit:

So if I want to start a "Book Tropes" website for APSE [Awkward Pang of Simmering Dissatisfaction] and other things, do I need to stage a pseudo-cide here first?

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

ita speaks the truth in Natter:

Porn is something to be pulled, not pushed, in my universe.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

Cass speaks the truth:

How does my artichoke have more debris at the end of my dinner than it did when I started. They are bigger on the inside. The TARDIS of vegetables.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

From the movies thread:

ita: When did you see Jessica Alba in drag? I'm curious to see if I can ever regard her other than as a humongous waste of space. I totally fail to get her.

P.M. Marcontell: In my head. Often. But also, for real, as Chaplin when she was pregnant with Honor.

billytea: I like the sound of that. Did she fall pregnant to a Klingon?

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

In Natter:

ita: Why do I want to get boudoir pictures taken? There's a very appealing relevant Groupon today.

tommyrot: Because it's 87% off!

billytea: That's how you can tell that they're boudoir pictures.

Matt the Bruins fan, in Natter.

Angela Lansbury looks great as always. I think she's figured out how to do the Dorian Gray thing, except instead of a portrait it's Mel Gibson that's aging for her.

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

Steph L.: Y'all, I e-mailed with Jilli, and there's no reason she can't have alcohol on a *very* occasional basis. The drug that told her she shouldn't have alcohol with it *does* lose its effectiveness when the patient is a chronic alcohol drinker. But one drink, very once in a while, won't do anything other than make her loopy.

So I hope she's having that absinthe now, or on her way to having it.

Dana: That is possibly the most Buffista piece of advice ever given.

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir

you might need to be a BSG fan to get this, but I was rolling in the aisle when I read this.

In the Games thread, starting off a new round of BSG

LAGA: Oh yes. Gaeta isn't in this chain-of-command I've been looking at. Where does he fall?

BILLYTEA: Wherever he is when he forgets to put on the artifical leg.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

Is it bad form to quote myself? I'm just the lead in, expressing some discomfort at the graphic content of the Supernatural thread...

Laga - must remember not to read thread while eating

Toddson - Well, between grossness and spitting liquid on your monitor/keyboard, it really isn't safe.
