I'm extremely jealous of The Partyman right now.
Xander: Look who's got a bad case of Dark Prince envy. Dracula: Leave us. Xander: No, we're not going to "Leabbb you." And where'd you get that accent, Sesame Street? "One, Two, Three - three victims! Maw ha ha!"

[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.

I can't even.
I think my Ayn Rand issue (and Tim, frankly, I don't give a shit if you think she's brilliant. You're wrong.) rests around the idea that her whole philosophy was justification for behavior that was juvenile and selfish, unnecessarily self-important and self-indulgent and just generally crappy.
So much word. And amusement at the third wife gig.

I'm extremely jealous of Tim.
I can only dream of being able to use "specificity" so effortlessly.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Partyman's jealousy has admirable specificity.

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 think I was the wrong age for Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance. I just couldn't get too excited about Phaedros.
I read it in college as part of a seminar on rhet crit. Enjoyed it. Favorite line? "The best students are always failing." That's me!
I've had the discs for Wonderfalls since last April. Neener. Neener.
Though mine had no commentary.

Ah, but that's because you are magic Allyson. I am a merely me, and distinctly lacking in the magic department.
Though mine had no commentary.
I imagine they also lacked Tim and the aforementioned "specificity" moment.
Neener. Neener.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Ah, but that's because you are magic Allyson.
She keeps her magic in her spleen. She's magisplenetic.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
I can only dream of being able to use "specificity" so effortlessly.
Heh. I use it all the time, but I'll bet Tim was using it in a non-biological context.
