Hello.
In the episode where all the Lanes come home, forcing Jane to temporarily move in with Daria, how does the exact saying Jane's mother says go? Something like holding butterflies will kill them, and setting them free. How exactly does it go? Thankyou.
Sincerely, Sydney Cander.
I believe it went something along the lines of
If you hold a butterfly tightly in your hands, it will surely die. But, if you let it go, and it comes back to you, then it is truely yours.
Then Jane makes the comment about ripping it's precious little wings off. However, I believe if you go to the Outpost Daria, you can find full transcripts of episodes there. :)
What is the address to the Daria Outpost?
Sincerely, Sydney Cander.

I just wanted to say that this has become one of my alltime fave sigs. :) It's right up there with the person at Lizard King's board who quoted Simon LeBon's "It's our party...it's your party!!" quote from the Rum Runner days in 1980, as well as the person who quoted Eddie Izzard, the "Don't make me use my water bottle on you!" person, the person who has a gigantic picture of Nick Rhodes circa 1984 grinning widely while riding a Japanese subway, and the person on the Japan mailing list who linked to his band, the Ex-Rentals (brilliant up and coming group from England). Trust me, this is a very short list. :)

Wowozowo, I'm truly honored. The artist lives on praise, and you have inspired me to do and be more in the wonderful world of .sigs. ;-) Thanks.

P.S.: *waves in Kyle's general direction* - It's his birthday!

:) Hey, it's perfectly cool, I'm glad I made your day there. Or hour. Or whatever. LOL.
I think I'll just keep on getting you to post in reply here so I can see your sig. Or maybe I won't be so sad and instead just come back to your already-posted posts. (I'm dead tired, can you tell? *g*)
Oh yeah, and HAPPY BIRTHDAY KYLE!!!!!! LOL

Oh dear, well... hey, posting more will help distract me from studying for my Archaeology midterm, and that's always appreciated! ;-)
I sure am! And besides that, I had one of the best weekends ever last weekend. I told a friend of mine about it, and she thought it was so bizarre that I needed to write it up in story form. So, for any of you out there who want to see what a Jessica L. weekend looks like, feel free to check out http://home.earthlink.net/~jessliotta/weekend1.htm . It's even got pictures! ;-) (oooh, purdy!) SEE Matt Groening's High School! SEE The 24 Hour Church of Elvis! SEE Monster Trucks and Naked Models! .... okay, well, maybe not that last one. But still, I think it's worth a look.

That was incredibly cool, Jessica. I've always wanted to visit a nuclear reactor, never gotten around to it. Thank you for sharing your weekend with us. :)
Matt Groenig's high school looked rather like the way he draws the Springfield high school. A lot of the sights also looked suspiciously Springfield-esque. I knew that he modelled the Simpsons after his own family (his mother's name was "Margaret", for example) but I hadn't been aware just *how* much his background entered into the show.
What does Jay do at the nuclear reactor, btw? Hopefully, it's run a bit better than the one in Springfield :)
Sincerely Yours, Jordan

You're most welcome. :-)
Yes, I'd be willing to bet that there's a lot of stuff in the Portland area that influences his work. But I'd just like to make it clear that while yes, there are stupid people here in Portland too, on the whole it's much nicer than Springfield. In general the people seem much nicer, and the town's run a heckuvalot better too. (I'm in love with my city and don't care who knows it. ;-) )
Well, it's a research reactor, much too small to generate any sort of power. Therefore the potential for disaster is much lessened. ;-) As far as I can see -- remember I'm not a hard science person by any stretch of the imagination, so this is my layman's observation -- he pushes a lot of buttons, helps out with various research projects, etc. Also while I was there I learned how to make a "gun" out of an empty tube of chapstick (what the workers *really* do inside reactors, heh heh.) The Reed Reactor Facility is apparently the only one in the US that is run by undergraduates, with a hired guy that oversees it all, of course.
--J., off to get some sleep.

I'd hope so :)
Groenig takes his models from all over, of course. For example, Mayor Quimby is meant to be Kennedyesque ... Teddy, not JFK.
Sincerely Yours, Jordan

I'd have to agree with this assesment of Portland, from the POV of an outsider who visited on a regular basis. As a trucker, I got all around CA, WA, OR, AZ, UT, NV, and a bit of travel in ID. Nevada wasn't terribly good, but excelent driving up the state rounts to Reno. I *hate* Seattle with a passion. California just is. Utah is just strange, what with the SLC highway construction. And I *love* Portland. Every place I went in Portland (and the state of Oregon in general), the people at the consignee were nice to a newbie trucker like me, not assuming that I should already know how to do everything. The roads are easy to drive. I like the rain, the surrounding forests are awesome, the place is just plain beautiful. If I were to chose a city to live in, I'd chose Portland.

You should drive here. We have a street that goes through four names in... eh... five miles.

That's pretty common around here. Streets change names a lot. There are a couple of places where a street will have one name for houses on one side of the street, and a different one for the other side, streets that merge and separate, where, in the combined section both names are used, split streets where one end of a street is inaccessable from the other, streets that run perpendicular to themselves, and streets that intertwine like DNA strands. Fifth Avenue and Sixth Avenue intersect as well as run parallel. It's been said that this is why Pittsburgh has always been spared the devastation of major riots (except the railroad riots of July 22, 1877, but those were concentrated on railroad property). With the steep hills, ravines, and incomprehensible streets, it's difficult to get a good riot going.
And all this time, I thought people called Pittsburgh "the Seattle of the east" because of the clouds and rain. Now I find out it's really because of the streets.
Peace Kevin

Where is here? :p
In my own Fresno, we have a street that goes through three. From east to west, it is Kings Canyon Ave, then Ventura Blvd, then California Blvd. A few years ago, there was a movement to unite it under the name, "Caeser Chavez Blvd" (oh my god, I think I might have gotten the name wrong, and some might be insulted by that), but that failed, because the local businessmen didn't want to have to change all their mailing labels. Yes, that can be a major factor in this city's politics. <:-\
"Here" being the Grand Rapids area, city of Wyoming, one street changes names: Milan Michael De Hoop Cleveland and it's not a long street... of course then, having used all of their names for that street, every sidestreet that comes off of Milan Michael De Hoop Cleveland is named Milan, Michael, De Hoop, or Cleveland. And then they realized they had De Hoop coming off of the De Hoop part, so that side of the street changes its name to Cleveland there, whereas the other side of the street is De Hoop until the intersection at Burton, where it becomes Cleveland. It is also an extremely annoying street in that there is a huge steep hill that your car WILL go forty down unless you ride the breaks and the speed limit is 25 and the police station is right there.

Wow, I had no idea my topic about the butterfly quote would have generated so many responses, even if they happen to be rather off-topic ;-)
