Angel: Connor, this is Spike and Illyria. Guys, this is Connor. Connor: Hi. umm...I like your outfit. Illyria: Your body warms. This one is lusting after me. Connor: Oh...no, I--I--it's just that it's the outfit. I guess I've had a thing for older women. Angel: They were supposed to fix that.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

but when I was 18, I was a notable dingbat.

This is hard for me to imagine.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

Sophia, BW (in this case) = Bruce Willis. LL = Linsay Lohan.

This does squick me. Although, I personally would probably date someone under over 18 and under 20, given the opportunity. Maybe they are "soul-mates"

I am just glad it is not bradley Whitford--what would he be thinking, cheating on Jane Kazmareck?

Sounded more like drunken grope-mates.

"I totally made out with Bruce Willis last night!"

What is even happening?

I am hoping he hung out with a group of peeps and she was one--maybe he was scamming autographs for his daughters. I know someone BW pursued in the last year, and she was 38, so he isn't all about the youth.
It was the part of the item where he was groping her publically, such that her ass tat was visible that made me squick.

Are you 30ish, though? I don't know, to me that's different than a 50 year old, where the 18-21 year old is concerned.

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

"I totally made out with Bruce Willis last night!"

There's my ew. It's BRUCE WILLIS!!!

I tried watching That 70s Show (for Dushku) and couldn't get over the idea of AK boffing DM and VW with LL. Way too meta and groiny. They're supposed to be pointlessly randy kids.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

It was the part of the item where he was groping her publically, such that her ass tat was visible that made me squick.

I think that's reading a bit too much one-sidedness into the situation.

Not that there isn't a certain amount of squick inherent in the phrase "public gropefest" on its own.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

I read that as "the way practically any two actors behave when they meet each other". Many MANY actors I know behave towards other actors they barely know like Buffistas at a F2F, all that's missing is the candy necklaces. Hugging, flirting, nuzzling--that's how all the boys from LOTR act, for example (and Viggo is way older than Elijah). It's a level of physical intimacy that most regular folks don't engage in unless they know people real well, but it isn't necessarily sexual. For example, I had met Roger Rees ONCE and we went to a show of his. His greeting to me was a huge hug, followed by cupping my face in his hands and telling me my smile was gorgeous.

Oh, I'm sorry. I thought the article said something about him having her pants down. That's all I was referring to.

Clearly, I must reward myself with ice cream. Right?

Yes, you absolutely must.

As I've gotten older, I've become more intellectually flexible; but when I was 18, I was a notable dingbat.

I Was an 18-Year-Old Dingbat. Sounds like a title for my memoirs!
