That's aa good point. Never, actually.
I just said that you're pretty. Even when you're covered in...engine grease, you're... No, especially, especially when you're covered in engine grease.

[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

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).

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

Um.

Presumptuous.
