Buffistas

Ah, yes, of course. The gypsies, they gave you your soul. The gypsies are filthy people. Ptui! We shall speak of them no more.

[NAFDA] "There will be an occasional happy, so that it might be crushed under the boot of the writer." From Zorro to Angel (including Wonderfalls and The Inside), this is where Buffistas come to anoint themselves in the bloodbath.

We are Buffistas. This isn't our first apocalypse. -- Pix

that one isn't nearly as bad as some of the stuff people have pulled at Dragon*Con and the Official Farscape Con at Burbank.

Oh, the fangurls and fanbois! Sigh.

I so hate them. And I'm kinda embarrassed about standing in line to ask Fran a question, but I do still want to see Raxil again. Not that it's likely to happen, like, ever. Sigh.

Shrift, I'm getting the urge to go to Burbank again. It's become a habit. The swallows return to Capistrano every year, and I fly to Burbank and drink too much and snark at the fangurls and bad vids.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

I decided that Michael Palin might be worse than Eric Idle, because he's hot as well as insanely funny.

From everything I've, Palin is the nicest, most approachable Python out there. I don't know if that helps or hurts in the case of approaching him for you, but that's from every source I've ever read. Greatful to have been part of it; flumoxed to have been as big as they were.

ita (and other Lee Pace fans), Lee has an article, mostly about Soldier's Girl, in the August Interview magazine.

If I only had a brain...

I understand Graham Chapman hasn't said anything mean in years.

Uh, was this meant to be a cheap shot at the Pythons, or just a really sick joke?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Oooh, excellent.

He needs to work more.

Unless he's nice enough to let me have his funny little babies, no help at all. I mean, it's what I wanted to do to/for Idle, and Palin's no better.

Really sick joke, Frankenbuddha.

Um.

Really sick joke, Frankenbuddha.

Which lived up to the mans legacy.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

Really sick joke, Frankenbuddha.

In that case, yes, totally understood. Up there with Terry Gilliam kicking over GC's "ashes" at the Python reunion on HBO for the 30th anniversary.

Sorry to make a thing of it - I've dealt with some irrational Python haters in my day, so I'm a tad protective, especially wrt Graham Chapman.

That was truly wonderful, shrift. PMM beat me to COMM.
