'Smile Time'
[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.
Um? Leonard famously calls for only using "said."
I think he follows his own rules about 96% of the time. His rules are pretty funny, though, and it is really cool to see that it is possible to use "he said" as pure punctuation in dialogue. I do think even Leonard might want to vary it up a little, but he's good at what he does.
We are so off-topic right now I can't see straight.
Tim is our thread topic, but he has foresaken us for "work" or somesuch. We are forced to talk about whatever topics float in on the wind.
Tim writes. Tim reads. We're good.
So you're telling me that, because we don't know specifically whether Tim does or does not eat olives, we can continue to discuss whether the absence of olives constitutes a violation of the definition of muffaletta?
Tim will now show up and ask us why we are talking about icky olives.
Surely you're not asking me what you can discuss and where? Not seriously at least. This is cute, right?
I will say that it wouldn't really be a continuation of the sandwich discussion as a moving of it, since no one in this thread was discussing the definition of a muffaletta.
If Tim doesn't like olives we can never be married.
I can forgive his disdain for chopped liver.
do we know his thoughts on carrots?
cardamom?
cilantro?
