Lorne: Once the word spreads you beat up an innocent old man, well, the truly terrible will think twice before going toe-to-toe with our Avenging Angel. Spike: Yes. The geriatric community will be soiling their nappies when they hear you're on the case. Bravo.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

Holy shit, Suela. I saw your FB post but didn't know the real name connection.

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

Consuela, I'm so sorry. That's awful.

Loved the Hillary mansplaining gif.

A "vertical" is just a content area, as Jesse and Jessica said. It's a stupid buzzword, too!

Huh. And I actually work for (or should I say "am aligned with") an "industry vertical". Though at least that is in a longstanding sense of the word. Or so I tell myself.

We are Buffistas. This isn't our first apocalypse. -- Pix

Yeah, I can't even fathom it. She's the one who started YesVirginia, it was through her I met a ton of people who continue to be close friends. I hadn't seen her in years, but man, what a shock.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

Consuela, I'm so sorry for your loss.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

That's awful, Consuela. I'm so sorry.

Hec, that is horrifying! Jesus.

job~ma to Sparky and Jesse.

Thanks, but it's Jess with the brouhaha.

That just makes me laugh.

And none of us deserving the cruelty or the grace -- Leonard Cohen

Consuela, I'm so sorry. That's terrible. And she was so young!

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Consuela, I'm sorry. That's so sad.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

I'm so sorry, Consuela.
