Metaquotes

Typical post: "Why did I unfriend you? Because you friended that demon Asmodeus, and he rips my intestines out with his pitchfork every time I walk past him! That's why I unfriended you!"

"So why do you walk past him? Are you addicted to the drama or something? Get a life!"

"YOU HAVE BEEN ADDED TO LJDRAMA.COM!"

"Hey, someone's posting my PRIVATE conversations in public. This is like so unfair..."

From linaerys, on House and SGA.

Everytime I watch House I want to hand Wilson a pamphlet entitled "So . . . You're In An Abusive Relationship With Your Best Friend (On Whom You Have A Crush). How To Assert Yourself And Get What You Really Want." That got me thinking how many other people need pamphlets:

For the writers of House I have a couple:

- How Women Are Not The Devil: 5 Ways To Tell The Difference

- So . . . You Want To Write An Acerbic, Edgy Character: How To Make Him Interesting Without Resorting To Racist Stereotypes

For Elizabeth Weir:

- So . . . You're The Governor Of A Colony Under Threat Of Alien Invasion: Doing The Ethical Thing And Winning

- So . . . You Need To Get Laid: How To Put The Moves On That Sexy Alien. Yeah, You Know Who I'm Talking About.

For the SGA writers:

- Consistent Characterization: Just Because It's Sci Fi Doesn't Mean This Can Be Ignored!

- So . . . You're Thinking About Stealing A Plot From Fanfic: Body Swapping For Dummies

- Geeks Are Hot: Knowing Your Audience

- Not Every Civilization Is Westernized: World-Building 101 (Free Trip To India Inside!)

The comment and a little more can be found here.

wolfstu takes issue with Prime Minister Stephen Harper:

He tried to control who gets to ask what of the government, and they walked out on him. So he's decided he's only going to talk to small news outlets as he chooses.

Who does he want to talk to? Pravda?

aidansean in response to this post by necaris about what it means to be computer literate

A car is a black box. A computer is a black box. necaris is a black box. I don't care how it works, I just care about what it does. I love being a physicist. Everything is so simple :)

Respects to necaris who is nothing like a black box, but does have the answers to all my computer woes!

rachaelscorset brings the funny (and dispenses some domestic abuse) on behalf of A Certain Addiction Hobby:

Uh....yeah...I have a few scrapbooking things...

*smacks [boyfriend] on the head for laughing so hard in the background*

OK so maybe more than a few.

*smacks [boyfriend] again and yells "Look! I needed those alphabet-shaped brads!"*

OK, so I have a LOT of scrapbooking stuff, ok? Are we happy now??

Kwip.

serabut, on writing fandom footie fics: (qwp)

My brother's asking, dude, what on earth are you researching World Cup for? I hope he doesn't think I'm doing it to impress a guy (because obviously researching to write crack!fic is something be proud of).

seleneheart speaks lovingly of a probably-not future leader of America, in this post (Quoted in it's entirety)

"One of my students showed me an entry in a book collection of the Darwin awards. Sadly he's the one I would have picked to be most likely to show up on that list someday."

There is NO FINER headrush than taking a two quart jar stuffed with last year's dried basil leaves, pouring the entire lot into a big bowl and plunging your hands in to crunch the beejeezus out of them. The unleashed aroma will fill your lungs with joy and the scent will cling to your clothes and hands, making you irrisistible to lurking cariboukens, and any rogue pizzas loitering in the neighborhood.

And stop being so touchy about how we're treating the place disrespectfully. The majority of the tenants are dead and they haven't complained yet.

Do you really need context? Okay, fine then. http://community.livejournal.com/angryletters/685526.html QWPOMGWTFBBQLOL and all that jazz.

Someday, I will have one of those suits. I will look sharp in that suit. I'll look so sharp that other people will cut themselves when they look at me. My suit? It will be so sharp that it inspires SPONTANEOUS FUCKING STIGMATA IN OTHER PEOPLE.
