Metaquotes

MichiSichi sums it up:

QUOTE

Some observers speculate that Lopez, who has had trouble conceiving in the past, could be leaning to the Scientologists for help in having a baby.

Um yeah, take a pillow, slowly add more feathers to the stuffing, file for adoption papers/steal a baby/give birth 5-10 months later.

Wow, SF meetup and first metaquote! Today has been an auspicious day indeed. Thanks, Annie! (Call me, Iorek!)

Oh wow Ka-*test*-('")i my first metaquote ever and thank's to Scientology!

Jstilwe gives some advice on taking the high road after one of our dear Snarkers receives a rude email from a loser who goes to her church:

QUOTE (jstilwe @ December 15, 2006 07:36 am)

Yeah, my road's not high, either. I'd have to write back: "Oh, great, that's a relief! The thought of you touching me made me want to vomit and was distracting me from our project at church. Things will be so much easier now that I know your obsessive stalking wasn't sexually motivated but was in fact just a manifestation of your social ineptitude. See you at the Christmas luncheon!"

Ooh, metaquoted! It's like Christmas came early! Thanks, tothemax!

(Apparently being metaquoted makes me use a lot of exclamation points.)

Yay! I and my bottomless well of Woody Allen hate thank you, PrincessCleo!

And jolie laide does it again this time in the Holiday Music thread:

QUOTE

I heard "Happy Christmas (War Is Over)" three times yesterday -- hurry up, "Wonderful Christmastime", it's gaining on you! -- which did not help to make me despise it any less. What have I done? Well, I didn't have a son and then totally abandon him, so I guess I'm one up on you there, Dead John Lennon. Happy Sanctimony Day!

Princess Cleo really just killed me with this from the Dating Advice thread:

QUOTE

I know you get nervous talking to cute guys...

I would have broken out "Fortunately, I have no trouble talking to you," but... yeah. He's totally Mr. Collins. He needs the big guns. I suggest "I can't answer the phone because I'm dead. Also, I hate you."

Spidey_88 on the Trailers thread:

QUOTE

Aw, the trailer for the Transformer movie looks awesome. If anyone can make it visually cool, it's Michael Bay. He's the director of Blowing Cool Shit Up and Whee! Explosives! I think that qualifies him for this.

I say we need him for an (as yet hypothetical) Mythbusters movie.

Good thing I was slow to metaquote Lily Rose, because it turned out I'd want to metaquote Jessica for the same thing (even I'm not sure what I did with verb tenses there):

In Advice Columns, in response to a letter-writer's concern that being naked around a dog would be traumatizing to the dog:

Lily Rose:

QUOTE

Wait, you mean that isn't a tiny, furry modesty suit?!

And later, Jessica:

QUOTE

I always find it weird that people actually write to Dear Abby about this, though. Don't you have friends to ask?

It is quite time-intensive to metaquote two people, it turns out.

inversed gets into the the holiday spirit:

QUOTE

I once spent a Christmas Eve alone because my parents had to go watch my nieces and nephew because my sister was sick, and I was like, "Dude, I'm alone on Christmas Eve. I'm not watching some sappy Christmas movie that'll just make me sadder. I'll just watch Dark City and get stoned!" God bless us, every one.
