Volume 1: One Rainy Day in May

  • This conversation after Astair's friend Taymor had tried to question her about her sex life and she avoided the subject, while Astair is about to go buy a Seizure Alert Dog:
    Taymor: What does societal static mean?
    Astair: Signage, cellphones, web traffic, YouTube. The modern day buzz of electronic alienation.
    Taymor: I like YouTube. YouPorn better.
    Astair: Of course, thanks to that static, I discovered [the seller of the dog].
    Taymor: You heard about Seizure Alert Dogs on YouPorn?

  • NarCon-9 announcing he's fed up translating jingjing's Mandarin for the readers (bonus points for this phrase later being thought by jingjing himself):
    ⠮Really? Not your Google bitch.⠝

  • Hopi's first expressing his admiration for Luther's tattoos and his wish to get tattoos himself, immediately followed by him saying he keeps a blue pencil because "Ink scares [him]"—upon which Luther thinks "BITCH WHADDYA THINK A TATTOO IS?!"

Volume 2: Into the Forest

  • Shnorkh's running commentary on, and rating of, other car drivers (he's a taxi driver himself) on the road, culminating in this Take That! towards BMW drivers:
    QUESTION: Does asshole driver get BMW or does BMW turn driver into asshole?

  • Astair's friend Taymor still has a fixation on sex and porn that she keeps expressing in the presence of a slightly awkward Astair:
    Taymor: [After they find a very large snake on the road] It's called HomePorn.
    Astair: [Sighing] Tay, Anwar and I don't watch porn.
    Taymor: Weird. But whatever.
