When's the last time anyone called you ethical, Pixie du Diable?
And Kaylee, what the hell's goin' on in the engine room? Were there monkeys? Some terrifying space monkeys maybe got loose?

[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.

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

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.

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 aa good point. Never, actually.

Actually, I've feeling a wee bit peckish...
Usually, everything comes second to the opportunity to make a joke, cheap or otherwise, around here
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.

Also, bringing up anything DoD related is not likely to yield thoughtful conversation. :-)
This is something I do know something about...
