Aw, a new Buffista. Nice to see you! Well, actually I missed you last night, but...
He doesn't travel well. He's like fine shrimp.

Goodbye and Good Riddance 2004: Well, I Wasn't Expecting That.
Every year we watch the Charlie Brown special, do the Snoopy dance, wish everybody a Merry Christmukkah, and thank our Secret Santas in the good riddance thread. Which is this one, in case you were wondering. Oh, and 2004? Don't think we've forgotten about you.

Oh, yeah. Meant to say "Welcome Bells"! Glad billytea is steering people here.

Bells! Welcome -- also glad billytea is bringing in new people.
Also when you say "youse" like that? I think southside of Chicago. Well, particular Mayor Daley the first.

For me, it's somewhere in NYC, perhaps the Bronx. Of course, I don't know NYC accents for anything, so I could be completely wrong on this.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift
Maria, where is your current tagline from?
(For posterity: Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive, well-preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, choc. in one hand, martini in other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming "Woo!")
Anne, It was in one of the many joke emails forwarded to me by a co-worker. I saw it and had a Eureka!Wesley moment. If I follow those instructions to the letter, I will have led a good lfe.
For the record, I had to snip because it was too large. Sob. It should read:
Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive, well-preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, chocolate in one hand and martini in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screamin "Woo hoo! What a ride!"

Yes, BillyTea did a great sell-job on Buffistas. I was hooked, having hunted around for a place where the talk wasn't just 'Spike is so hot' (which he is). I mean, I would love to share the dreams I've been having since enjoying a total Slayefest in the last six weeks, but sense it would inappropriate here to mention that kind of thing amongst such clever folk as yourselves. ;-)
I feel duly welcomed now. Thank you so much.
And yes, if I manage to see him before he leaves Canberra for Melbourne, I will pass on hugs as requested.

What is even happening?
Well Bells, you're member #1572. If we subtract billytea himself, you'll need to pass on 1571 hugs. At least. Lucky you!
But no one in Australia says 'shrimp', unless they're referring to a person of unusually small stature (which I think I qualify as, but that's beside the point).
Prawns, yes?
Bells - Jan 06, 2005 1:14:38 pm PST #824 of 962
Ooh that's a daunting prospect...that many hugs? I'm sure he'll be glad to know (like he didn't already) that you all care so much.
And yes, it's prawns. :-)

Bells, come down to Bitches and lust if you want. I do it all the time, mostly about people Bitches don't watch.

I just might. Ta.
