Can't you exhibit just the tiniest bit of narcissistic wounding, just to make me feel like I can do something else with my life? Call me a bitch or something. Complain about me in the Styx. Anything.

NigelM, in Kerygmania, commenting on the use of parenthetical phrases:

quote:
when I see parentheses (like this) I (that would be me) tend to (rather than have an evidence base for) see them as indicating (probably intentionally) that the contents (inside, as it were) are not as important (parenthetical point) as the stuff outside of parentheses (not like this).

(And that's an important point to make).

MT: Oranges don't have navels.

Kelly. It's just what they call them.

MT: Who's they?

Kelly: I dunno, some fruit mogul I guess. It's just part of the language now.

MT: So you are willing to continue a scientific inaccuracy just because it's the common practice? No wonder Creationist hold sway in our country.

Kelly: How the hell did Creationists come into it?

MT: If you can't parse that, I don't see why I should help you.

Kelly: Lighten the hell up, Mousethief, it's oranges. Why are you suddenly the Noam Chomsky of oranges?

MT: Why are you being so bitchy?

Kelly:Why are you being so douchey?

MT: How the hell dare you call me a douche?

Kelly: You started it! You called me a bitch!

John Holding amongst the Deceased Equines:

quote:
Yes Sebbie...gay divorce. And death of spouse -- widow if the survivor is female, widower if the survivor is male.

Here we've just celebrated the 10th anniversary of allowing same-sex couples to marry (not same-sex marriage, please, just regular ordinary marriage open to same-sex couples). There have been divorces, and, I presume, deaths among the married. Stands to reason -- some of them had been living together for 40 years or more when they were finally allowed to marry, and not so many people live into their 80s and 90s.

And you know what? It hasn't made a hoot of difference to the married straights, to the living common-law straights, to the just living together straights, to the serially monogamous straights, to the divorced or widowed straights, to the promiscuous straights or to the chaste or celibate straights. Or to anyone else.

Anselmina in the "peace" thread

If we can't manage a frigging handshake for the sake of sharing the Peace of Christ, with the brother or sister of Christ beside us, for pity's sake let's don't make them feel like they've just dropped out of a cat's backside. Just keep your hands folded in front of you and smile (if you're capable of it). And if someone does approach you to shake hands, don't freak out as if you've just been propositioned for sex.

Adeodatus, as he regularly does, makes all the sense:

quote:
I think all this touchy-feely, let's-be-nice-to-each-other-even-if-it-kills-us stuff is a side product of that vile modern heresy that the other people around me in church are my friends. I find the Quakers admirable and wonderful people, but I believe their one big mistake was calling themselves Friends. Jesus and Paul got it right: those other folk in church are our sisters and brothers, not our friends. Like sisters and brothers, we're stuck with them, and while we're commanded to love them, nobody says we have to actually like them.

Ooh. That's got all my Friday feeling out of my system. I feel much better now.

And then the art space finally opens, and the only contribution on the first morning is a 16-year-old scrawling "GAVIN IS A COCKSUCKER" in large letters.

After a while you start lowering your expectations to the point where a good day is when 'cocksucker' is spelled correctly and in an attractive font.

There's a correct font for "cocksucker." The sort of useful information you only find on the Ship.

Anyone intending to throw a tampon soaks it first. I believe beer is the liquid of choice, and I wish I didn't know this. It wasn't me, ok??

For the humour impaired, this is a joke. I love children.

Particularly marinated with a good sauce and paired with the proper wine, perhaps a nice Riesling....

That's what Orfeo said, too.

Come to think of it, Ken's probably rolling around in his grave right now, but whatever, it made me think of him, so it's beautiful. [Big Grin]

If they're young enough, I think they count as white meat, like chicken. Though I think a Semillon or a Viognier.

And, not to put too fine a point on it, a good Alsatian Riesling or Gewurtztraminer*—the kind you serve with choucroute and sausages—can go with strong flavors, with the spice and sharp notes complimenting your braising vegetables and liquid, while the backbone of the wine is enough to hold up to the delicately flavored pork (which is what baby tastes like anyway—sucking pig is suckling pig) you use in most sausages and pork chops anyway.

...I mean, take this tangent elsewhere, this is the quotes file! Go start another thread for coming up with how to cook the annoying neighbor kid!

*Holy shit, I spelled that right first try!
