QueenSix praises Stella Gibbons' satirical abilities and
comments:
| QUOTE |
| In fact, I kinda wish Stella Gibbons was about to read the Twilight series and then write a satire. I'm sure she'd have had a great time with all the "I love you's" and "I can't live without you" that pepper the books. |
A possibility which seems to
distress phoebesmum:

Come on, the world is crying out for Charlie (or some suitably icky aged character) wandering about, repeating variations of "I saw something sparkly in the woodshed!" |
I am weeping with laughter here, and am never going to be able to look at either CCF or Twilight the same way again.
| QUOTE |
| "I saw something sparkly in the woodshed!" |
That made me laugh so much. In fact, I randomly thought of it today in the supermarket and started laughing again. Now I really want this book to be written!
Thank you guys so much! This seriously made my day.
In the
Twilight thread (with 100% sparkly spoilers), the conversation gets around to how good looking vampires end up being, leading
Lily Rose to remark:

| The Cullens didn't get hotter to mountain lions and bears or whatever |
but PrincessCleo posits:

| Hey, you don't know that. "Whoa! Who took down Grrrfhghhgnf?" "I don't know, but he was hot as hell." |

Although, after thinking about it a bit, there is so little sense in Twilight that very few revisions to the source text are necessary:
| QUOTE | O that awful deepdown torrent O and the sea the sea crimson sometimes like fire and the glorious sunsets and the figtrees freesia in the Alameda gardens Forks meadows yes and all the queer little streets and the pink and blue and yellow houses serial killers in big cities and the rosegardens and the jessamine and geraniums and cactuses and Gibraltar freesia freesia freesia freesia freesia as a girl where I was a Flower DAZZLE of the mountain yes when I put the rose in my hair like the Andalusian girls used or shall I wear a red yes and how he kissed scrapbooked with me under the Moorish wall and I thought well as well him as another and then I asked him with my eyes to ask again yes and then he asked me would I yes to say yes my mountain DAZZLE flower and first I put my arms around him yes and drew him down to me so he could feel my breasts ice-cold dazzle peen all perfume freesia yes and his heart was going like mad and yes I said yes I will Yes. |

Hey everybody! I don't drink; I hate the taste of alcohol! But right now I am settling in with a bottle of Pinot (caps ok?) and the MSNBC hurricane coverage [...]
Ugh, I still don't like the way this tastes. It tastes. . .floobery. Like, it tastes like squishy raw flesh of animal feels. Not the way raw animal tastes, but if the feeling were a taste. . .anyway, why do people like this? |
