Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
msbelle, in Natter:
Cabinet positions are like Broadway leading roles, sure every so often one of them can go to someone who has put in the years and no one knows, but most of the time they go to NAMES AND FACES and 80s/90s has beens.

ita ! in Natter:
Yeah. I don't see why states are that important, but y'all do, so it's fine. I can wait until us immigrants take over and don't understand your history. I estimate...a decade, if we knuckle down and toss out the contraceptives.

Allyson sets up but Billytea delivers...race, in Natter.
I don't think I need Andrew Ti to help me with this one:
Coworker: I had a really bad morning. There was a truck blocking me in my driveway for a half an hour! It was one of those guys picking through the trash for cans.
Me: Did he at least apologize?
Coworker: Well he was black.
Billytea: So I was running for President, right, because duh, I have the best hair, and my opponent just ran these relentless negative ads that made me look like a heartless plutocratic ideologue who's out to oppress women, Latinos and the poor and middle class. Mostly by quoting me."
"Did he at least apologize?"
"Well he was black."

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Discussing the complexities of programming grammar in Tech:
ita !: I'm being shocked in the other direction by someone on IO9 who's trying to tell me that fixing your code so that it says 1 second instead of 1 seconds during a countdown is introducing dangerous levels of complexity and that the change is too expensive.
Jessica: If {timeleft} ==1 then {word after timeleft} = "second"; else {word after timeleft} = "seconds"
....or am I missing something?
(Caveat: Not a professional programmer! Entirely possible I've introduced something dangerously complex here! Read at your own risk!)
ita !: I'd answer your question, Jessica, but it seems you've crashed the internet with your cavalier use of conditional plurals.
I'd like you to go to your room and think about what you've done.
There's a lesson here for all of us.
Jessica: I...I'm sorry. This is why I can't have nice things, isn't it?
ita !: One nice things.

In Bitches, Scrappy with the setup, and billytea for the win
She just sent my Jewish husband and atheist self a Christmas card which wished us "more Jesus in your life." Really? REALLY?Send her a reply saying that sending threatening letters through the mail is a federal offence.

Ann, that's a ferret.
Ginger also had a pretty good response to Scrappy:
Honey, you can keep the Jesus. You need it more.
