It's my contention (supported by industry dynamics) that more powerful computers are purchased to play games than for any other reason. It's a related axiom that more powerful computers are engineered to play better games. The resulting increase in other productivity measures is a side effect.
I was once asked by a nephew on why it was important to be smart. My response was, "So you can understand better jokes."
So, with that in mind, and with the general gloominess surrounding the various economic news and a slightly dimmer holidays, I offer the freshly posted quotes from the Fall 2008 Feral Writers Retreat. Yet another example of why hanging out with really smart friends is the best entertainment available. Especially if those friends are all writers.

Been feeling a bit under the weather, and reading the freshly posted quotes (and the older ones) was great medicine!
I copied a nice selection of them into an e-mail that I sent to a chum who's also been under the weather. If laughter is the best medicine, then I have to share it!
Sheila, that's why I was sharing them. The good thing about these quotes is that even though we know some will make it into the list, we don't crack them to end on the list, it just comes out naturally within the group. It also doesn't hurt than many of the writers are also heavily involved in the FanFic movements.
