Tom Scola on an article about a boy being struck by a meteor
What a dumb article. It didn't even say what kind of super powers the kid got.
The Adorable One sums up the F2F experience:
The motto for F2F could be "We don't need no steenkin' plans... ooh, candy!"
In Spike's Bitches:
beth b:
Dictionary.com Word of the Day
effulgence: the state of being bright and radiant.
Barb:
Oh, William... where are you, with your beauty effulgent?
tommyrot:
In the hospital. (His heart has a bulge in it.)
After a conversation of what we and our children call grandparents in Natter:
Aims:
Emeline calls my mom Grammie.
Lately, I have been calling my mother bitchface.
In f2f (I choked on my cranberry juice)...
Vortex: Okay, as an established buffista booze hound, I am fine with reducing the bar tab. I'm at the F2F to be with my peeps, I can get drunk at home ;)
Trudy Booth: Remember how the liquor turned out to be really cheap in Wisconsin so we had to burn off the tab with premium shots and then finish up at the bar?
Yeah, that was cool.
Vortex: yeah, that was kind of awesome.
In Bitches, billytea goes on a tangent:
Vortex: Hivemind: best way to clean a corset with steel boning? one side is irridescent satin, one side is cordouroy. it's reversible...
billytea: Apropos of nothing, Steele Boning would be an excellent porn name. (And, by coincidence, he too could potentially be reversible.)
Cass: In this economy, I'd think you'd want to go as many ways as possible.
billytea: You're not suggesting he go the other way, are you?
Cass: And risk getting pregnant?!
billytea: Steele Boning does not wait nine months for a baby. Steele Boning expels the baby with EXPLOSIVE FORCE!!
On the distinction between lie and lay in Bitches:
Sparky1: My mother's voice in my head screams: "Hens lay!"
smonster: My sistah! Wait... my... sister?
From the F2F thread:
Jilli VoiceOfReason:
I HAVE FAY IN MY HOUSE. YOU MAY ALL START BEING VERY JEALOUS NOW.
In F2F:
Jilli, VoiceOfReason:
I just got to see Fay and Pete have a slappy-hands fight in the middle of my living room. This is going to be the best weekend ever.
