Metaquotes

swsa in the Britney Spears thread, regarding a reality show where Britney takes advice from her fans -

QUOTE

That'd be kind of genius if it was real. Like her management is just throwing in the towel, all "Y'all think you can do better? Fine. We give up. You fix her."

TiffanyNichelle opening the L Word thread:

QUOTE

Oooh look, lesbians!

Hey my first quote of the new board! Awesome. Thanks, The Dude.

You know what I hate more than Myspace? Thirty year olds on Myspace.

God, I know!! Thirty is way, way SOOOOO olllllllld, they shouldn't be allowed to do anything, but, like, die.

QUOTE (dinahmoe @ January 08, 2007 10:22 pm)

Gosh. I'm 37 and I use Myspace to keep up with my friends, who range in age from 25-46. Well, I keep up as best I can by mashing the keyboard with my gnarled, arthritic hands.

I miss out on a lot of the obnoxious Myspace stuff by pretty much sticking to my friends pages and the pages of bands and TV shows that I like. Like Lawrence Welk, and Mitch Miller and the Gang. Oh, and Matlock.

squishysquidgy has a Question:

QUOTE

Yesterday at work, this weird guy came up to me while i was cleaning and started asking me "if I gave you two rabbits, a pair of rabbits and a couple of rabbits, how many rabbits would you have?"

To which polarbear answers:

QUOTE

Rabbits being rabbits, I imagine the answer would quickly be "a metric fuckload of baby rabbits".

particle_person adds to the discussion:

QUOTE

That's actually how the whole Fibonacci sequence got invented. Fibonacci said, "What happens if you start with 2 rabbits on an island and they have a baby a day?"

To which psammead replies:

QUOTE

So the Da Vinci Code is all the fault of the rabbits?

The Glen in the Happy thread:

QUOTE

Getting a kitten is all fun and games until it goes blech blech blech on your carpet at four a.m.

Maybe it's because I have three cats, maybe it's the blech blech blech, but I'm in tears over here.

Thanks Shalamar!

Queen Six explains why Ten was justified in removing Harriet Jones from office in the Doctor Who thread:

QUOTE

As an only child, I cannot condemn this course of action. If Harriet Jones wasn't going to play by the rules, then Ten was quite right to take his toys and head back to the Tardis prevent her from causing any more trouble. After all, getting your own way is what the game is all about. Go Ten!

And Ambergris came up with this gem in the V.C Andrews thread:

QUOTE

I can imagine Katie Holmes taking a lot of comfort in her well worn Dollanganger paperbacks. "Oh Suri! Someday your half uncle brother will take you away from this unhappy, yet fabulously wealthy, home! Ooh, cookies."

Aw, I was metaquoted! Thank you, Queen Esther!

The Cultural Differences thread provides many interesting and educational moments. Currently discussing the best word to describe someone in charge of an examination, Binky decides that she'll take the American over the British word any day of the week, here:

QUOTE

Inviligating sounds either like a military tactic or some unpleasant medical procedure. And inviligator makes me imagine a mutant aligator species.

Thus ensuring that I'll never be able to take another exam in my life without picturing some strange reptile in an academic gown stalking the rows of desks.

Angst Boy, in David Beckham's thread, on Beckham signing with the LA Galaxy:

QUOTE (Angst_Boy @ January 11, 2007 12:19 pm)

The same thing happened when Wayne Gretzky moved here to join the Kings. All your seminal-athletes-from-sports-other-countries-love-more-than-us-married-to-golddigging-quasi-celebrity-has-beens are belong to us!
