Quote: "It's okay," Kyon assured her,
frowning at his PDA. "Not how I planned to wake up, but it
could have been worse." He shook his head, worn out from
trying to figure out how to deal with everything so far.
Deciding he didn't need to solve it all himself, he turned to his
address book. "Got it," he declared, sitting up straight once
more.
Kanae looked at him hopefully
as he dialed Koizumi. "Y...you know how to take care of
everything?" she asked hopefully.
"Make Koizumi deal with it,"
he answered her, nodding.

Her sempai shot Kanae a beseeching look momentarily, before turning his attention to Haruhi. "Okay, now ... it's not a problem. Somehow, even my mom found out, so my schedule was clear. I have no idea how Skynet missed it, but when you look at things, didn't I just get out of doing any preparation work at all for the party? In a way, really, from my point of view, this is a triumph!"
"Huge success," Yuki added, giving a tiny nod.

Quote:It must be some kind of unwritten law of the universe that
if technology managed to advance to a level that provided some new form
of privacy invading technology it would inevitably be found in an
airport. I had little doubt that somewhere out there was some kind of
secret organization of sadistic old men rubbing their hands together in
glee and conspiring to find new ways to make the process of getting on
and off a plane as painful and embarrassing as possible. As I stood as
patiently as I could in the line for immigration, trying not to tap my
foot in impatience while glancing around in paranoia at the world around
me, I contemplated the newest way to make flying a pain in the rear.

From a Baka to Test/ Type Moon cross: ( link)
Quote:Complete the following statement from last night's reading. "People die when they are ______"
Ryougi: "People die when they are killed."
Teacher: Correct. Nothing to comment on.
Lancer: "People die when they are stabbed in the heart by Gae Bolg"
Teacher: I suppose that should theoretically be true. However, Gae Bolg wasn't mentioned anywhere in last night's reading.
Shirou: "People die when they are the bone of their sword"
Teacher: Did you mean bane? Either way, they're both incorrect.

From the same thread as above: Shinji (F/SN) goes to several therapists:
Quote:Shinji: "Recently, I've just been so stressed"
Caren: "You pig."
Shinji: "huh?"
Shinji: "Recently, I've been pretty stressed"
Araya: "Because your origin is worthlessness"
Shinji: "... I'm leaving."
Shinji: "I've been kinda stressed."
Kotomine: "You should spent some time with this friend of mine, Gilgamesh. I'll introduce you to him."
Shinji: "kay?"
[later]
Shinji: "I hate you."
Shinji: "So, I've been kin-"
Darth Sidious: "Good, give in to the dark side!"
Shinji: "What?"
Shinji: "So, I've been stressed recently."
Freud: "Tell me, do you dream of fruit? Because a fruit is not just a fruit young man."
Shinji: "um..."

From Mobile Suit Gundam SEED: Serenity chapter 43, we get two little tidbits:
First, ever wonder what would happen if two super aces fought, and the Turn-A was nowhere to be found? (Little in-joke regarding most Gundam vs. Gundam arguements)
Quote:The Strike Freedom and Serenity were clashing less like titans or angels and more like a god and goddess. It was little more than an indistinct blur to any of the onlookers. Minako had revisited her comparison of the two to the Divine Protector Hachiman and the Divine Light Amaterasu. And honestly, it seemed apt right now.
"Lesser mobile suits would've shattered," commented Faith, wincing slightly as another thunderous crash echoed. "The assault frame was designed for this sort of thing, but even I'm starting to worry they might push that to its limits as well."
A final thunderous crash echoed... and then silence as everyone stared at the craters where the two mobile suits had crashed.
"Great, now I'm gonna have to put those things back together!" moaned Shizuka.
And finally, the first thing said after an...interesting night brought about by spiked fruit punch....again.
Quote:
"I. Am. Going. To. Murder. Them."
These were the first entirely comprehensible words out of Makoto's mouth the next morning. She'd woken up naked in bed, itself not unusual, lying next to an... which most certainly was out of the ordinary.
And it's worth noting that Lacus had helped with the aforementioned interesting night.

I found this inordinately amusing for some reason, possibly because of reading some UF bits involving Top Gear.
(The rest of the webcomic is pretty amusing too)

Since Gryphon is apparently actually working on a new chapter of Warrior's Legacy, I thought I'd bring up one of my favorite quotes from that series while I re-read it.
Quote:"Well, so the OSI is basically history. Poof, gone. But!
There are plenty of other agencies out there with black budgets.
After all, they have to pay people like me. I'm sure I can help find
you a position with one of them. If you're interested, of course."
I knew what Zoner was interested in. I shouldn't say that --
to be fair, he can be a fairly altruistic person -- but you didn't
have to be Sherlock Holmes to tell he had an interest in her. Then
again, she didn't seem to mind, and I couldn't particularly fault him
for it.
He looked at me as if he expected me to join in, so I did.
"Sure, let's see. There's NSA, CIA, MI-5, MI-6, IMF, FBI, ATF,
Mossad, SAS, SBS, Secret Service, GSG9, Spectrum, Interpol, UNIT,
UNCLE, CONTROL, DEA, NASA, NACA... " I was starting to build up steam.
"...TVA, WPA, SSA, FCC, FAA, NTSB, ICC, MBTA, BART, PBS, CBS, AFL-CIO,
AT&T, ITT, MCI, IBM... " I seemed out of control by this time, but I
knew what I was doing. "...NBC, ABC, OSS, MTV, VH-1, A&E, TLC, KFC,
KLF, NFL, NBA, MLB, NHL, NHRA, CART, NASCAR, W3O, OSF, FSF, SCO, Ext2,
HPFS, CCITT, ITU-T, IETF, BGP(4)... " Now I was just being silly.
"...RIPv2, OSPF, ISIS, VLSM, BRI, PRI, SPID, TEI, B8ZS, AMI, TCP, UDP,
ICMP, SPX, NCSA, RADIUS, TACACS, ACP... " Zoner was gasping for air
and waving for me to stop. Meg looked both amused and confused.
"...EIEIO."

Oh, c'mon man! You left out the best part! Quote:"...EIEIO."
That was all it took; Zoner nearly fell out of his chair. Meg
mildly injured herself snarfing green tea. That was not my intention.
I felt bad.
"Are you OK?" I asked.
"Yeah." *cough* "I'm fine. Boy, that really clears your head.
I don't recommend it though."
We both paused to observe Zoner gasping like a fish. (Odd
expression, that, because when you come down to it a fish gasping
isn't really like a person gasping at all...) I was just biding my
time. He regained most of his composure and sipped some water to calm
things. I struck.
"Booger."
Zoner's cheeks immediately puffed as he fought to restrain the
water now trapped by the air that wanted to escape. He looked
remarkably helpless. What was going through his mind? Do I spew
water all over the table in front of this remarkably cute woman I've
only know for an hour? Is it any cooler to choke to death on water?
How long can I hold my breath anyway? By this time his lungs were
aching for air and he had to do something. I'm sure it didn't help to
have Meg and I watching him like hawks on nitrous.
In the end he managed to force the water down the right pipe
and dragged in the overdue breath. I think my ears popped from the
pressure drop. It was priceless. Ah, what are friends for?

Link please?
Also, from a fic update thread over on TFF:
[table] | QUOTE (Glimmervoid @ Dec 17 2010, 09:53 AM) | | [table] | | QUOTE (crazylike.A. @ Dec 17 2010, 01:19 PM) | | Are we talking about the bible because it updated? | [/table]
I
hope not. Did you see the flame war after the last major update? Not
that I can really blame them. The 'God' character in the new bits was
completely out of character. And lets not even get started on the Jesus
guy. He sounds like someone straight out a fan girl's fan fic. ‘Son' of a
popular character from the first part (despite the fact that he was
meant to be the only one god... ), with super special powers and suddenly
become more important than everyone who'd come before. He's a Gary Stu
if I ever saw one.

Quote:Kotetsu's Rules Of Shinobi Conduct
1) Only give 90% of your effort on a given task. You may need that 10% for getting away.
2)
It is better to date a civilian girl than a kunoichi. They're easier to
impress, generally cheaper, and quite frequently a lot more sane.
Civilian girls are much less likely to appear out of nowhere and then
start throwing B-Rank attack jutsu your way because you missed their
birthday.
3) Becoming a jonin is overrated. You make a more
appealing target for enemy-nin who want a reputation, you're more
likely to end up in a bingo book, the pay isn't that much better, and
you're much more likely to end up with missions that involve outrageous
amounts of death and destruction.
4) When confronted by strange
glows and the smell of rotting meat coming from a hole in the ground,
the mission has gone south and it is time to run like hell.

5) Paperwork will expand to fill any available time and desktop space.6) Eldritch Horrors can ruin your whole day. Avoid.
7) The relevance and accuracy of any information is inversely proportional to how easy it is to acquire that information.
8)
If there is one building in the target area guarded 24/7, rigged with
alarms and traps, and has inhuman screams occasionally rising from
within - that is almost certainly your target. Except in the Village Of
Helsford, that's their hottest restaurant. Don't order the crab legs.

From the latest Order of the Stick, written in the Prison Guard Manual:
Suprise Inspections
We do not have suprise inspections. Ever.
Especially not at night, when other guards have been called away to another event.
The inspectors in front of you? They're intruders.
Get them.

Heh. Kinda reminds me of that line from the American animation, Titan A.E., where after knocking out a guard, one of the characters remarks bemusedly: "An intelligent guard... who'd have thought?"
I think they call that patrolling.

I always liked the Girl Genius explanation of leather underwear.
A perverted spark developed an compound that dissolved clothing, but left skin untouched. If the skin was dead, and what animal it belonged to didn't seem to matter. So certain characters have taken to wearing leather underthings as a precaution.
