TNV: I learned some new words. I'm not quite sure what they mean, but I know that they exist.
C: My definition of a good seminar.
T: Like "quantale."
C: Sounds like a cool word.
T: And what it means is even scarier.
T: "A foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds." Which I shall interpret as 'I shall be hypocritical if I damn well please.
C: At least you got the quotation right. People are always saying "Consistency is the hobgoblin of small minds," and I want to smack them.
T: Somebody else already corrected me...
T: Well, on the one hand, the soul is gone; they're bodies, so in a way I'm pro-cannibalism in certain circumstances...come on: it's just meat left!
C: There is a certain respect involved..
T: Respect for what?!
C: ...Memories?!
T: The memories won't change!
C:....You are not allowed to eat me when I'm dead!....unless it's to prevent your own death or something.
T: Well, obviously....I'm not suggesting eating Soylent Green over dinner.
C: ...If we ever have to, we can trade legs, because it's gross to eat your own leg....
T: You only stop posting on the bpal forum because of fire, flood or famine: "Hi, honey, I can't make it because I'm busy patrolling our cache of canned tuna and gummy bears with an Ak-47"...speaking of cannibalism, the Ak-47 could be used for other things...
T: ...except for all my comments about sex. Which seem all about sex...
C: Well, now you've got cannibalism, so you're branching out! ...just so long as you don't combine the two.
T: No, I don't swing that way, thank you.
C: Good to know.
T: I am not a spider.
C: Or a praying mantis.
T: I thought of a spider.
C: Different associations...
T: It depends on your entomology education. Actually, spiders are not insects. Arthropodology. Invertebrate biology? We've moved on to a new topic!
T: I'm still working through Midnight's Children.. It gets interesting once the actual midnight's children actually come out...somewhere around page 340...actually, I'm lying, it's page 290.
T: One day it's a magic horn, one day it's a magic painting, one day my hair is different colours. Seriously, look at it! One is brown, one is black, and I haven't been with any long-haired black-haired people lately, not that close.
C: Ok, what we need to do is get some polyjuice potion, put a hair in each, drink it, and see who we turn into. If we both turn into you, well...If we don't, I'll know who you've been hanging out with.
T: His hair is short!

T: It's worse than that! They put the word 'fucking' in completely inappropriate places! At one point R2D2 is accused of it!
T: And Anakin has to kill Counselllor Dooku and he does...
C: And they have interstellar starships and yet no birth control...
T: And they have interstelar starships and no birth control, yes...and Anakin has dreams of Natalie Portman dying in childbirth...I mean, Padme Amidala..
C: Ohmygod! A famous-ish movie star is dying in childbirth!!
T: So he dreams that Padme Amidala is dying in childbirth...
C: Does that frighten him into using condoms? I think not.
T: Well, she was already pregnant.
C: Ah.
T: The damage was done. Well, she could have had an abortion...
C: They have interstellar starships and they don't have abortions. American movie...
...
T:...And Anakin yells "nnnoooooo" but in the subtitles he yells "do not want!"

T: That's a good name for it. Get away from me on werewolf days. I might bite.
C: Blood might be spilt. *silent helpless laughter* I'm sorry. That was probably uncalled for.
T: That's for someone more organized than me. Notes on "bed."
C: "Soft. Yielding, but firm."
T: "Wish you were there."
T: Geez. I've forgotten what I did on my birthday. I should go on the internet.
