Metaquotes

Another Xmax over and done with. You like the new spelling? A cross between Christmas and Xanax. I think it's really going to catch on.

Now it's time to plan for New Year's. I'll bring the flame thrower, you get the scuba gear.
reichmarshall speaks rarely but it's almost always memorable when he says it.

shes_unreal sums up her post in mock_the_stupid:

I've never even used a dishwasher myself but I've seen enough sitcoms to know that it wasn't a good idea.

The most attractive thing about old, ancient paganism, I think, is the fallibility of Gods. Zeus with an eye for everything in a skirt, Thor as dim as any frat boy but good-natured - the idea that Gods are more like us than not has great comfort. Gods like that...I can see the appeal in the sagas or Homer's verse - the idea that they might come in one day out of the rain, sit by the fire. I think that way of looking at the world has passed forever, though. New pagans - Wiccans, Witches, I don't know the current term - their resurrected deities are too big, too abstract. Ironically much more like the God of the Book.

And the Lord did dump several inches of snow upon the citizens of the East Coast, and the Lord did grin, and the irate citizens got up at 5:15 am to shovel themselves out for work, if they had, indeed, work that day, and some of the citizens tried to earn money by plowing snow upon the shoveled driveways, and the other citizens got angry and yelled at them, causing the enterprising citizens to pull the snow back out into the street, and the Lord did grin again, for He had given people free will.

smoopy declares her love for The Streets...

Oh mike skinner i want to wash your mouth out with soap and then give you a hug, you wonderful filthy pale pale man.

At fanficrants, wrongly_amused complains of Star Wars fangirls who write Darth Vader with soft-and-chewy insides.

Other than being pure value-for-snark, it includes the immortal line, "On a good day, he doesn't give a damn about the galaxy, his lost innocence, his past, you, your wookie, or your father's brother's nephew's former roomate."

So, naturally, I just had to blog that, since I blog everything. saturn_grrrl tells me about how she knows someone that had to wear a mouthpiece to keep from grinding, and then says this later in the thread:

That would have to suck to wear something to bed. I mean I hate wearing my foot brace to bed, I couldn't imagine with something in my mouth all night!

Ok, I should have rephrased that...

From supacat:

There's a 'Korea-mania' going on at the moment thanks to Pe Yonsomething, a Korean actor popularly known as Yon-sama (probably because Pe can mean fart in Japanese so obviously he can't be called Pe-sama) famous for being the lead in the 'pure love' Korean drama Fuyu no Sonata. He's one of four male Korean actors who have become known as the 四天王, the Four Kings of Heaven, named after but not to be confused with the four kings of heaven from buddhist mythology who guard the four corners of the world and are of fearsome aspect but unfortunately don't appear in any Korean TV dramas.

shortypenguin on King Arthur (I assume she means the film version, or else she's really, really, really old):

I'm more of an unabashed-lover-of-theater-geeks meself, but whatever floats yer boat!

A stroll down Memory Lane with norseblue:

I remember TMNT being better. Maybe that's because I was eleven at the time. But still. Maybe it gets better later on? He-Man seemed so good and so damned socially relevant when I was five. Now it just seems like some guy suffering from 'roid rage running around with his strange-ass green tiger.

But I've been without internet for a while.

Without further ado, from a locked entry, quoted with permission...

You know what's a good stress reliever? Masturbation. Yes. Why didn't I think of this sooner?
