Hee. Sondheim, unsurprisingly. It's a cut song from "A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum" called "There's Something About A War."
Reynolds, I'm a dangerous-minded man on a ship loaded with hurt. Now, why you got me chatting with your peons?

Is it better the second time around? Or the third? Or tenth? This is the place to come when you have a burning desire to talk about an old episode that was just re-run.

Heh, I figured it was Sondheim. (For posterity: "The rain may rust your armor, your straps may be too tight, but decapitate a farmer and your heart feels light.")
...And now I'm earwormed with "War Is A Science" (from Pippin, which is not Sondheim, but still one of my favorite shows).

Pippin is always on topic in the Angel thread, since the only time I saw this was the video starring John Rubenstein! When I saw him on Angel playing Holland Manners' replacement (what was his name?), it freaked me out to see how he had aged from that honkey-afro-wearing guy.

Oh, my goodness. I'm going to have to break out my DVDs.
Also, I feel like Ben Vereen should never be off-topic.

I was listening to my Simon and Garfunkel boxed set last night, and their cover of "Bye Bye Love" came on. I was immediately reminded of the version of that song in All That Jazz, sung by Vereen ("Folks, let me lay on you a so-so entertainer, not much of a humanitarian, and this cat was never nobody's friend.") and Roy Scheider.
Love that movie.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
Ben Vereen is on-topic in this thread b/c of Sweet's amazing similarity to Ben Vereen in OMWF.

Dana, I was sure that you were rolling with laughter back in Season 4 when they gave Rubenstein that "my corner of the sky" line.

I was saying how could he be off topic, and do agree with the Sweet comparison.
I kept hoping in season 6 or 7, that they'd bring back Hinton Battle as a different demon, and Buffy would keep wondering if she knew him from somewhere.

It's entirely possible that I was, and have just forgotten. In fact, it's possible that I've had this moment of WTF? several times before. I am my own time loop.
