Metaquotes

_rontastic_ needs some nourishment.
I'm like... really hungry. I wish I could illegally download a sandwich of the internet.


Context isn't necessary; it's irrelevent to the rest of the post.

In this RP writing challenge post, which was much fangirled here, the character was praised by a player who left him uncharacteristically speechless:

Dear World:

When did Mariah Carey get gigantic breasticles and why are more people not mocking this, uh, development?

"Oh, for God's sake, CV, wake up and smell the lesbians." - david_deacon, exasperated that the co-mod of ljdq did not see the connection between Peppermint Patty and The Indigo Girls.

The ivoryminstrel is torn between duty and dreamland:

I don't like the idea of putting off an essay until the night before, but I get the sense that some Soviet sheep are trying to count me.

In a customers_suck post about the plecostomus fish (the algae-eater that attaches itself to fishtank glass), ajrbasketcase offered this interesting tangent:

My husband needs to exchange his plecostomus, as it's gotten too big finally. I named him "Don" (as in mafia boss) because he swims around, does his business, and every so often a fish goes missing.
"Missing fish?" he replies. "That's fascinating. Excuse me, I must attach myself to this castle now."

aynjel sums up zir feelings about Mondays here:

Today can be over now, kthxbye.

And I would like a refund on today, too. I ordered a standard Monday, not an ultra-crappy Monday. I don't care that it's a free upgrade, I want my money back.

In a linguaphiles thread re: MSWord Grammar Check complaints about the use of the passive voice, akibare comments:

Now if ONLY MS Word could detect the passive-agressive voice in e-mails from the boss...

izlude_tingel replies:

This made me smile... only in my case it's emails from my mother.

QWP here.

In a thequestionclub post asking whether or not anyone has accidentally typed "liverjournal.com", shippo theorizes in the comments as to what one might find there:

I am Jack's liver.

Last week, I met Jack's raging bile duct. We went on a date to see a movie, but so far, he hasn't called me back. :(

My girlfriend, porcelain72, is hilarious and filial:
Happy birthday to my dad, though considering he doesn't even know how to use e-mail, it's highly unlikely he's reading this.

The ever-eloquent trcabbage has a few things to say about guys who feel the need to inflict their penis on others via webcam.

Is it a form of sex that isn't consented to, a sort of eye and mental rape? I fucked you without your permission..even though you turned it off, you did see it so it counts..you've been dick cammed!

Here there be context (not that it's needed)

princekermit has just retaken this meme, and gotten Aragorn instead of Yoda as his result.

locked post, QWP.

In this week's ljdq blunder_buss has this to say on Oreoes. Post here.

"Oreoes. They've finally been brought to Australia, and we tried one to see what the fuss was about AND OH MY GOD IT'S LIKE SUGARY CRACK. They say the US is the fattest country in the world and NOW I KNOW WHY."

xero_sky at the fanficrants community on why she writes fanfiction.



(Authour Laura Ann Gilman) asserts that fan fiction writers are violating copyright and hurting the professionals' ability to make a living.

That's right, baby. I write fanfiction specifically and deliberately to hurt the original authors. Entertain me any further, will they? I think not!



Heeeere Context, Context, Context!

safeinmyframe has a religious experience:

There is this disgustingly hot guy who works in my area. I've been foggy on what my ultimate physical type is until now. Seriously, first time I saw him it was like the clouds parted and angels sang and god said "Ben, this is what your boyfriend should look like."

My sister foxie posted this a couple days ago and I just had the brilliant idea to share it with more people. She has a (small) obsession with zombies and a tendency to be quiet and then come up with really odd things. The post is friends-only but QWP (entire post is quoted), and demonstrates both of these qualities in her. YAY!

(T)o the Stroller Army: you do not, in fact, rule the mall. The simple fact of your having procreated does not make you special, and the fact of you charging down employees with your triple-wide stroller filled with screaming brats in the haughty expectation that we will simply move ourselves and all of our equipment for your entitlement-starved ass will not endear you to anyone. Nor will knocking our work equipment over as you shove it out of the way or attempt to force passed it using your child and stroller as a battering ram. What it will get you is a lot of nasty thoughts and prayers for your sterilization.

Context? We don't need no steenkeen context!

anandangel discusses her day:

"Oh, wow. I'm sitting in Davis circulation. Nervous Guy (NG) comes up to the desk with a big stack of books.

NG: Um. These are for, uh, my girlfriend. She's doing a psychology paper. Can I just leave these here for a few minutes while I go grab my One Card?
[One Cards are like UNC library cards, and are also used for meal plans, basketball tickets... pretty much everything.]
LEAH: Sure, that's fine.
NG: *scurries away to elevator*

I almost didn't look. I didn't really care. I was doing the DTH crossword. Fortunately, curiosity prevailed.

macramedildo comments on a book titled 'Cooking with Kids':


strange... I didn't see "children" listed as an ingredient in any of the recipes. the title led me to believe otherwise. how misleading. how dissapointing. :/

In this splendid entry in the community mock_the_stupid, rampagingturtle pays tribute to one of the great educators of her high school career:

"Great Educators of the Twentieth Century, Episode 57: Mr. Jackson

It was in my junior year of high school that I had the remarkable good fortune to be enrolled in a World Cultures class taught by the illustrious Mr. Jackson. Mr. Jackson was a veritable fountain of little-known facts, and nary a day passed that I did not come away from his classroom having gleaned some new, never-imagined bit of understanding of the world outside my limited life experience. The following items are just a few pearls of wisdom imparted by this fine educator:

All Chinese children, without exception, get married at the age of nine.

Jesus, Moses, and Abraham Lincoln were black.

India is nowhere near the Indian Ocean.

One of the greatest regrets of my academic career is not submitting myself to his tutelage sooner, for his students the previous year had had the great privilege of watching a marvelous documentary about the life of early humans in prehistoric times, Caveman, narrated by Ringo Starr and Barbara Bach in the original Sanskrit."

The entire entry is hilarious.

sleep_not is having some trouble with her brain:

"My Brain: Wow. I'm exploding.
Me: This is great!
My Brain: Explodey-plodey-ploding.
Me: And it feels *gooooooood*.
My Brain: It sure does.

What amuses me is, while I was reading the Memories page, I was actually literally thinking that. Word for
word."

In Soviet Russia, stinkin' context don't need YOU!

Over in statements, morigale says:

Apparently I have some mis-wiring in my brain, as I just burnt myself on my lunch and instead of 'hot!' or 'ow!' I yelled 'pointy!'
