In Natter--
Matt the Bruins fan: We should have known that a tropical storm/hurricane sharing a name with Karen from Will & Grace would head for the largest concentration of booze available but stumble and fall before it got there.
Tracy: Well-- That call -- That call means you just murdered me. Mal: No, son. You murdered yourself. I just carried the bullet a while.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

There's a place in the special hell for people who tell you after you've spent a lot on something that you could have done it cheaper.

They might have their own circle. But it's marked down.

All is well that ends in pizza.

I wanted a Danger Mouse reboot, but then I realized we already have Sherlock.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
Ginger: I'm beginning to think I should start a blog called "Fukushima Won't Kill You (But I'm Thinking About It)."
Cass: I'd subscribe.
Also it sounds like it should be a Fall Out Boy song title. Which is not a bad thing to me.

I'm catching up in Boxed Set and there were some gems:
Teppy and DH on Reign:
When I saw the commercial, I asked Tim, "Wait, THE Nostradamus?"
Tim: "Is there another? Joe Nostradamus?"
And bonny on the new Dracula:
In the ballroom scene, I thought, "Wow. Vera Wang has been in business for a looooong time."

Verizon called to offer me an international calling deal. I wasn't even going to listen, because most of my international calls are Google Talk, and 12¢ a minute to JA is pretty damned good.
However, last week Google was not letting me get through, so I called on the land line--which they have now told me cost $4.35/minute.
Seriously? How can you charge that much per minute for something with no orgasms?

So, I have no idea what her real skills are as an audiologist, but she definitely has what it takes to sell used cars.

And shove 'em in your ear, apparently. I'M SORRY, DID YOU HEAR THAT? SHOULD I SPEAK UP?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

The next person to point me to a news story, and then show me how much more sensitive he is by writing "Where's the outrage?" is going to meet my new Louisville Slugger, Outrage.

Always Anti-fascist!
Thanks! Zenkitty, in Bitches: was once informed that I am a sociopath. By the guy I was living with. He ended up in jail for a series of serious crimes. I did not.
So either I'm not a sociopath, or I'm a lot better at it than he was.
