Barack Obama: A clearly perturbed Obama said he didn't appreciate being lectured about Christianity by Keyes. 'That's why I have a pastor,' he said. 'That's why I have a Bible. That's why I have my own prayer. And I don't think any of you are particularly interested in having Mr. Keyes lecture you about your faith. What you're interested in is solving problems like jobs and health care and education. I'm not running to be the minister of Illinois. I'm running to be its United States senator.'" -- Salon

Yahtzee: "A coworker who writes music on the side has the Upright Citizens Brigade performing a Halloween musical of his, 'Killjoy.' It's supposed to be very gory, very obscene, very politically incorrect. Naturally, I want to go. Coworker keeps saying, quite carefully, 'Now, it's really raw. It's not for everybody.' I keep saying, 'Oh, I bet it would be fun!' This is English. The Fanspeak translation, which I cannot share at the office, is: 'In my spare time I have written sadomasochistic gay vampire porn and distributed it to minors. Your puny attempts to shock me make me laugh.'"

'In my spare time I have written sadomasochistic gay vampire porn and distributed it to minors. Your puny attempts to shock me make me laugh.'

Well, that made me laugh. Sounds like a great sig line, too.

By the way, you're being quoted, in all your academic/advocate glory, over at the NaNoWriMo message boards under a Fanfic thread. Where several posters howled, "Fanfic! Teh Theft!!" and rational people posted in reply; plus Diane Duane posted like an adult with checks from publishers who's also a big fangirl herself (because I recall The Romulan Way>.

Just so you know. You're listened to and quoted with respect.
