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.
Let him do his thing, and then you get him out. No messing with him for laughs.

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.

Emeline calls my mom Grammie.
Lately, I have been calling my mother bitchface.

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

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
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!!

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.

Trudy Booth in F2F (in response to Matilda's pouting accusation of JZ):
Look, our more enlightened world is fresh out of bad guys with which to menace our children into obedience. We can't threaten to sell them to Gypsies or Indians. Nobody is going to make matzoh from them. The Commies are just about gone. Even the Big Bad Wolf is a symbol of the majesty and wildness of the West and the unleashed power of half a million Wicca. Oh, and FORGET scaring them with witches, half their friends are witches. Even the Boogie-man Americans have cultural outreach now.
We're left with a world where children are forced to silently mouth "Polar Bear" at their parents until they're old enough to call them motherfuckers.
