after the migration, in Natter:
-t - Ah, it is good to be back!
msbelle - happy board, warm board, little ball of code
-t - Soft board, sleepy board, load, load, load.

in natter, regarding the library in Dana's house:
Dana I did have the same thought about just needing Colonel Mustard and a lead pipe.
Gudanov I think it would also be hard to convince your husband that you need Colonel Mustard and his pipe.
erikaj: My dad actually helped me with stuff around the house yesterday. First time he's been to my place in, like, years.(we live in the same town, I should note.) But it was nice, we thanked him, but he always has to lie at the end. This time it was "You know, next time you need things like this done, you should just call me." Whatever. That is so not true it makes Colin Powell look a little better about the yellowcake thing. The second I ask, you see, I become demanding, and he digs in his heels and whatnot.
Emphasis added to indicate where I snorted so hard I think my insides bled.
IN Natter
-t: I was already planning on having teak for dinner, but now I'm going to try tommyrot's salt 45 minutes before frying technique. I've never put a lot of effort into my steaks - a cheap cut indifferently cooked is still pretty tasty to me.
Scrappy: A hardwood needs a good marinade. A little Murphy's and some Pledge to finish it off.
Connie Neil: Well, when your dinner is made of a hardwood like teak, the salt treatment may not make much difference.
-t: I could have sworn I saw that and fixed it! Maybe I just saw it and skipped the fixing part. Sigh.
Eta: no Pledge for me. Beeswax!
From Movies:
Polter-Cow: Jeremy Renner's arms do make an appearance.
Steph L.: They should get a credit line. "Jeremy Renner's biceps as Themselves."
billytea: There could be a shocking plot twist where you discover they were switched at birth.
msbelle: know what? I am ok with asshole predators thinking I am a Bitch. I'd rather they get to that realization sooner rather than later.
People are hot in Natter (well, we're hot everywhere . . .)
Jesse: I'm air-conditioning my bedroom, obviously, but should I have the living room fan blow the cool air in or the hot air out?
billytea: Do both, and have them meet at the window ledge in THUNDERDOME.
Connie Neil: Aussies.
billytea: I would like to report that the rumour that were Under the Dome an Australian show, we would have named it Under the Thunder is baseless. We would have typed it in all caps.
ita: Their entire ecology hinges on "2 organisms enter, 1 organism...is still trapped on this fucking stupidly large island after it killed everything else..."
billytea: Clearly we need some more work on the slogan from the event organismer.
DebetEsse: So, I have a question. If, hypothetically, one were in a foreign country, and one were tired and hungry and didn't speak the language. And one had gone to the NSAID aisle, but had managed to purchase the equivalent of suppository baby Tylenol, rather than, you know, adult meds to be taken orally, is there a way to salvage the situation? Hypothetically. For a friend.
billytea: One might go in search of an extremely understanding baby.
After a possibly record-setting sextuple-post, Sean made me laugh, in Bitches:
This is the way the world ends
This is the way the world ends
This is the way the world ends
DAMMIT! Triple-post again!!!

erikaj makes me snerk:
Love that! Purring is so cool...I used to pretend to be a kitty a lot as a kid and it was always disappointing that I couldn't do it.(In a different way than being disappointed that I couldn't cause pain with a wave of my hand like Lord Vader, of course.)
