X: This is why I bring these things to you--sometimes I'm all, "You're supposed to do it this way, but I like you, so lemme just bend this rule."
S: You need to follow the rules. I mean, we all need to follow the rules.
X: But what if it's a bad rule?
S: Well, if it's a bad rule, then I work to change it...
X: But you wouldn't follow it if it actively hurt people or processes.
S: Right.
X: So we have to use our own judgment to determine which rules are good; meaning, which are worth following.
S: No, you use my judgment.
X: Ah, and now we're back on comfortable ground.

Lawrence: Now, all these wines are very old. I purchased them to make certain that they were cared for properly.
Freddy: So you got a lot of wine to drink.
Lawrence: You can't drink them, Freddy; they're far too valuable.
Freddy: So you sell them?
Lawrence: Oh, I'd never sell them; they mean too much to me.

X: I'm sorry I've been so full of anxiety lately.
R: *deadpan* Well, I'm afraid I can't offer empathy because I've never experienced anxiety, so all I can give you is sympathy.

chris the cynic:
Anton_Mates:
E.g., fictional people menaced by vampires immediately run off to find sunlight or a cross; people menaced by werewolves look for something silver and pointy. But when zombies show up everyone stands around going, "Wait wait wait...are they dead? But they're moving! Whoa, they're eating people now? Madness!"
chris the cynic:
With a purposeful grimace and a terrible sound
He pulls the spitting high-tension wires down
Helpless people on subway trains
Scream, bug-eyed, as he looks in on them
He picks up a bus and he throws it back down
As he wades through the buildings toward the center of town
Oh no, they say he's got to go
Whatever the hell he is, I've never heard of anything like this before
Context A: I dislike the word "sweeties", in reference to people I'm dating.
Context B:rosefox is really good at trollface.
X: I'm trying to imagine anyone ever thinking of me as "sweet".
R: *trollface*
X: *notices* *physically recoils*

Setup: rosefox is giving the cat medicine.
R: *mutters something*
X: Don't give the cat soda!
R: I... what?
X: Don't make yourself sad; don't give the cat soda.
R: What in the hell are you talking about?
X: That's what I heard you say!
R: I was saying that I needed to goop the cat, and so I would come out here so I wouldn't disturb him too much.
X: Ah, I see. That makes more sense.
R: [referring to the soda thing] I don't even see how...
X: Simple! It makes more sense than you giving the cat soda!
R: ...
X: *cracks up* You give me the best things!
R: I love you, dear.

Nov. 29th, 2011 03:07 amSo there we were, rosefox and I, watching Monty Python and the Holy Grail. We come across the killer rabbit scene, and R takes down a stuffed "Rabbit with Big Pointy Teeth" from her shelf. In the movie, Sir Robin storms the rabbit.
Who leaps and attacks!
And the stuffed rabbit leaps for my throat, thus startling the fuck outta me!
We subsequently collapse into absolute hysterics. She managed to time this so perfectly, such that she did not suffer death for startling me. Oh man, that was utterly terrific.
X: You should have [the stuffed rabbit] bite Sam [the cat]!
R: Sam, c'mere!
S: *jumps down from the window*
X&S: *hysterics*
Like "I literally could not form words" hysterics. I saw her take the damned rabbit down! And yet!
X: I don't want to post about this, because I don't want to encourage people to try to startle me, lest I murder everybody!... wait, I'm full of lies.
R: You totally want to post this.
X: Well, I mean, I want to murder everybody.
R: ...that too. *cracks up*

Nov. 6th, 2011 12:47 amR: I put all your medicine, right in one place. [Nyquil, cough drops, cranberry juice, and some anti-cough pills.]
X: *glances at Nyquil* I'll just swig it!
R: ...should I put this back?
X: You'll find me draped, ahahaha, half on and half off the couch! *cracks up*
R: This is only so funny because you're so drugged.
X: *dyin' here* Or draped over the chair!
R: Okay, I'm cutting you off. *moves Nyquil*
X: "I regret nothing! *thud*"
R: *shakes head*
X: The cat'll be sitting there looking at you like, "Dude I dunno. She's a party animal." *hysteria*
R: Goodnight, dear.
Also, I always hear the text for this userpic* in a little whisper. Creepy, or creepy awesome?
* CAPSLOCK IS HOW I FEEL INSIDE ALL THE TIME, overtop the creepy kitten.

sinboy: Friday evening, after work, let's just get drunk.
nonethefewer: Sure! I'll meet you after work, we'll get some scotch, we'll watch Big Trouble in Little China, we'll take a shot every time someone quotes a line for more than a sentence, and then we'll go to the hospital down the street for alcohol poisoning.
sinboy: *teary* That's the nicest thing anyone's said to me all day!

1: Move It On Over, country and not by George Thorogood, is playing.
2: Josh really doesn't like George Thorogood, and I like him a great deal.
3: We'd been conversatin' on how a lot of rock music is totally remakes of country stuff. (I knew the blues stylistic theft, but not the country cover stuff.)
*country music plays, as noted above*
X: Oh! Again!
J: Yes, not everyone is the original--
X: Look, I was referring to rock not being the originators of music I'm used to, not you being a fuckin' bigot.
J: *cracks up*
*playing Dominion*
X: *my play, 4 lines; his: 20*
X: Your face and my fist have an appointment!
*later*
J: *cracks up*
*lines: 40*
X: I hate you in your stupid meathole!
Thus do we show affection.
