with a gleam in my eye, and an almost airtight alibi

Oh my God, I'm going to be singing the Freakazoid theme for the rest of the week now.

Although I already had the Harvey Birdman theme stuck in my head from the earlier conversation. Sung, as it happens, by one of the show's creators. "Habeas corpus/Marvy attorney//Meet Harvey Birdman/Attorney at LAA-AAA-AAAA-AW!"

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

My favorite part of the song is, "Do you really want to FEEEELLL him?"

At least I think that's what he's singing.

I think it is too, tommyrot. I always imagine it being said in a very Sinatra, mob guy in Vegas kind of way.

"Kampai. Peanut."

I didn't stake the thread. Freakazoid staked the thread. Or, you know, the WB staked the thread is entirely likely as well. But it wasn't me.

All is well that ends in pizza.

Very interesting Live Journal posting by someone who attended the Nashville Buffyverse thing.

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.

This bit was an interesting take:

An audience member talked about how one of the show’s writers said that the loss of the female characters on “Angel” was about the hole it left in men’s lives along with a loss of hope. That “Angel” was never about the empowerment of women but rather about the fragmented images of masculinity.

Huh. Something to chew on.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

That's interesting, Victor. And also lovely.

I just read that the WB is shutting down its Angel board. Though it's a chatspeaky nonsensical place, I'm always sad when fans lose a board. It's like having your neighborhood pub bulldozed in the middle of the night.

I can't even.

Huh. Something to chew on.

I was just looking to post that bit. Very interesting.

Not like we don't have the scars. Never went to the Angel board, but that gave me the Bronze twinge just the same.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

Huh. I didn't even realize the WB had a board for the show. Did any Bronze refugees end up there after they deep-sixed the official Buffy board?
