Huh. New word.
Usually, everything comes second to the opportunity to make a joke, cheap or otherwise, around here.
Anya: We should drop a piano on her. It always works for that creepy cartoon rabbit when he's running from that nice man with the speech impediment. Giles: Yes, or perhaps we could paint a convincing fake tunnel on the side of a mountain.

[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.

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
I just don't think that any ethical plastic surgeon would agree to do that amount of elective surgery.
If you paid me 14 bucks and a pack of Marlboro's to do so, I'd tear your nose off with a plier and replace it with Silly Putty. I imagine someone was paid a great deal of money to destroy Jackson's face.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
When's the last time anyone called you ethical, Pixie du Diable?

I can't even.
Man... just when I thought I could go to a place where snide political comments were secondary to comity.
-That- remark tweaks? On this board? Whoa.

That's aa good point. Never, actually.

Understood. Just wanted to head off political tangents at the outset. I see too many arguments start up with little bomb throws.

Rumsfeld is the comedic target of every stand-up and talk show in the English speaking world. Someone calling him a vampire in Buffistas is practically on-topic.

Um. Um. It's really doubtful that you'll be able to ever head off a political tangent, here. Which is good. Because we've had some incredible discussions started by the political tangent (and some crappy ones, too).

Point taken. Just don't know how many start off that way (from lack of experience).
I guess I wouldn't normally think that a quip like "Al Gore turning into the poster child for Paxil" would stimulate thoughtful conversation either. Could be wrong. Stranger things have happened.

It's not like the conversation was thoughtful before Rumsfeld came up.
