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.

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.

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.

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.

Hey! The Buffista Diet! We DARE you to get through an entire meal!

ita: NO ONE IS GAY ENOUGH TO MAKE SHADOW WHITE.

me: The NY Post changed their headline from "WEINER PULLS OUT" to "WEINER WRAPS IT UP"

SuziQ: Cause that is so much better?

Jesse: Barrier methods are proven more effective than withdrawal, right?

In Natter, an inspired vision for royal millinery -

sumi: I wonder of Beatrice and Eugenie got a stern talking to about appropriate hats: they've been very millinarily subdued at Royal Ascot.

DavidS: It's disappointing. I don't want them to be respectable and proper. I want them to be the comic black sheep of the family.

Matt the Bruins fan: Seriously. I want Beatrice to show up next wearing a hat with a miniature Lady Gaga figure that occasionally climbs into stirrups and showers her with a burst of glitter.

In Movies:

ita: I got shushed in the theatre for talking after a preview. The man twisted around, and was pissed. "It's a blank screen!" I objected. "It's the whole experience," he said, defensively.

And then he got up to pee during the movie, so fuck the whole experience. I got it, he didn't.

Liese: Ha, I totally would have stage-whispered, "it's the whole experience" at him when he was leaving.

Polter-Cow: I get him, though. Sometimes your bladder won't let you experience the whole experience.

ita: Depends.

Made me LOL:

In Natter:

Liese S.:

I haven't been swimming yet this summer, much to my dismay, but when I do I do all backstroke because I am a wuss and don't know how to breathe. But I do weave like a mofo. (Do motherfuckers weave a lot in their swim lanes?)

"As they take the turn for the last 50 meters, Phelps in the lead with Oedipus closing fast. And Oedipus has gone completely out of his lane and collided with Phelps! A shocking development. I'm not sure how they'll rule this one."

tommyrot:

Poor Oedipus. He should have considered his competitive swimming career before blinding himself.

OMG, literate people make the best funnies.
