Ooh! I've been metaquoted! Cheers, gwyn. (Am I the only person who actually contemplates telling a real person about this and then is sad when I realise nobody will understand?)

I think snarkfest needs an open bar.

Me too. Who likes Bloody Caesars? Besides me, that is?

Brutus?

Shhhhh! You'll only encourage him!

I think it's just the way I'm picturing his "collection" of apartment numbers. What would he do with them?

Make pi?

Aw, I've been quoted! I think I may swoon!

Heeee. And take 10 points for the geeky math joke.

I try to hide it, but the geekiness just won't be stopped.

Miss Moneypenny in Celebrity Dumb Quotes, discussing Terrence Howard's moral superiority with baby wipes:

QUOTE

We’ve lost our moral values a little bit.

I'm sorry, I had no idea asswiping was a moral issue!

I don't know what it was, but I laughed out loud at that.

Well, cleanliness is next to godliness so I suppose asswiping can be a moral issue by way of being a hygiene issue.

Isn't one of the Bourne gimmicks that he uses random household shit to beat people senseless? I thought it was, like, a Newsweek and a handtowel this time around. But maybe it was a book.

Jason Bourne is totally, like, the MacGyver of death.

From Celebrity Dumb Quotes, The Harlequin comments on ~~Ethan Hawke's~~ Antony Gormley's remark:

QUOTE (The Harlequin @ September 18, 2007 01:01 pm)

QUOTE

He dislikes the "gladiatorial" way in which artists are pitted one against another, and feels "embarrassed and guilty to have won - it's like being a Holocaust survivor."

I think that from now on, anyone who spends any time around this guy, whoever he is, should repeatedly and constantly compare even the sligh-*test*-('") discomfort to the Holocaust. As in: "Man, I was eating peanuts and I got a shell stuck in my back teeth. It's like there's a Holocaust in my mouth and everyone's invited!" Or: "Say, did anyone else get woken up by that car alarm this morning? Gosh, that was Dachau-tastic!" So that maybe it will eventually penetrate his thick skull that unless he's being marched off at gunpoint into showers that spew poison gas, it's not the Holocaust.

I think I've found my new sig line.

(I'm half German Jewish, so that makes it okay, right?)

Um, I think it's funny, but I wouldn't do it if it were me because I suspect that's a quote that's best left in context.

Well, there's a reason my sig links to the original post.

Callie, explaining J. K. Rowling's true motivations in the Psychotic Fans thread:

QUOTE

From the FA link:

QUOTE

Did JKR envision Voldemort to be a predestined Damned, or is his innate evilness merely lazy writing? Did she previously have plans to expand upon his character? Did she make him (and the rest of the Slytherins, for that matter) so one-dimensional in DH because fans dared (gasp!) to enjoy the villains?

Yes. Yes she did. She did it on purpose to you (yes you!). And now that she's made the Slytherins one dimensional, made Hermione a breeder and Draco Malfoy's hair fall out, she's now going to go laugh maniacally as she counts her money. In fact, she hates you (yes you!) so much that she's going to take the amount of money you payed for your book and then burn it. That's what she thinks of you.

This is a little old but I couldn't stop myself. From Current Reads:

Ah, Robinson Crusoe--my old nemesis. It's the excruciating amount of detail that gets to me, all the On the Sixteenth Day of September at Midday I spied on the Sand a Stone of Large Size and of Circumference larger than my Fist but smaller than my Head and in Color a Shade of FOR THE LOVE OF GOD STOP DESCRIBING EVERYTHING!
