My favorite phrases are: "to know the unknowable, to tange the intangible, to eff the ineffable." "You are such a hypocrite! You would have sex with anyone who is willing. And the rest of you aren't even that picky!"

And, I think on a more constructive note, I like the way the author puts them in. Not the fact that she does, but -how- she does. They are done in such a way as to not really break the flow of the narrative, so that someone who does not understand the meme would not be thrown off. So many nuggets for intended audiences end up alienating peripheral readers, but not ones in prose this well-planned.

Oh, there are so many allusions to internet memes and other works all throughout the story... There was "The cake is a lie" in history class, "partialtongue" in the last bonus story, ... And, of course, "I can haz cheezburger?" ^^

Then shame on you. “Over nine thousand” is as popular an Internet Meme as any of Suzi’s lolcat quote.
…You _do_ know that Suzi almost exclusively speaks lolcat Pax, right?

I didn't realize it the first time I read this chapter but Lynette made a Dragonball Z quote when talking about power levels "It's over nine thousand" I got a kick out of that.
