The place: Natter. The topic: religious education.

Liese S: I think Noah's definitely old enough to hear about God without believing it. I mean, I know kids that age who can articulate why they don't believe in Santa, even though they're willing to let other kids celebrate without disabusing them of their notions.

ita: Which would make him a nicer kid than me, because I was a disabusing little bitchette. No praying during Monopoly! First off, there's no God otherwise there'd be dinosaurs in the Bible, and secondly, if there is, he's not allowed to help your dice roll.

Dana, in Natter:

I'm waiting for tile guys. Again. It's a lot like waiting for Godot.

Liese, in Business Talk:

I am at the portion of my fundraising summer where I want to grab the children by their lapels (okay, I know children's clothing doesn't actually have lapels, just work with me here) and shout, "Just give me the damn money, tiny motherfuckers!" But I suspect that the church camp may be looking for a slightly different approach.

Ginger writes what just might be the perfect Buffista dating profile, in Bitches:

I believe in proper capitalization; the agreement of subjects and verbs; and a generous sprinkling of complete sentences. Also, I believe in making the red squiggly line go away.

I prefer long walks in a museum to long walks on the beach.

Try to hold my hand when we first meet and you risk losing yours.

I have already found myself. Now I'd like to lose myself again. I am not interested in spiritual quests of any kind.

Being called a lady makes me break out in hives.

To me, LOL means "please go away."

Frankenbuddha responding to Hec in Natter:

David S: I drank my fiber supplement and topped it with a bowl of raisin bran and strawberries. I'm fiber full.

Frankenbuddha: Probably not for long, though.

erikaj in Cable Drama:

I know just enough about most things to be clinically unsatisfied.

In Bitches:

askye: according to the Idiot's Guide saying that you Need something makes you, well, needy and the Universe doesn't like that. The Universe likes it better when you WANT something because then you can take it or leave it and the Universe rewards that kind of thinking.

amych: Wow. I think I met the Universe in a bar this one time back when I was single.

DavidS: I knew it. The Universe is a douchebag.

ita in Natter:

You white people are like glitter. You get absolutely everywhere.

Kat in Natter:

The precursor:

Brave. Very, very brave.

The gods' honest truth:

Or very very stupid. If you squint your eyes, they often look like the same thing.

Can't believe no one's posted this. In Natter:

Cashmere: What's a mouse?

Polter-Cow: It's like a touchpad you can throw at the wall.
