You know how sometimes, when you don't see something for a while, and then you watch it again, and you think "hey, that wasn't as bad as I thought it was"?
Doublemeat Palace is not one of those things.
"Doublemeat Palace" is one of the episodes that gets skipped in my house. On my current re-running of BtVS, I've finally made it up to season 7 -- specifically, "Beneath You," memorable for Spike's hideously out of place electric blue shirt and the striking final image of him draped over the cross and smoking.
See, DMP is, for me, a fond and miserable memory of working at Taco Bell when I was 21.
It really captured the experience.
Well, except I don't think there were penis demons in my particular Taco Bell.
That I knew of, at any rate.
Aw, Cindy, I'll pass that on. She likes knowing that not everyone thinks I made her up. Come to think of it, I should probably have a long talk with her about Farscape, so I can steal more of her jokes.
please to be using
What's the origin of this phrasing, btw? I picked it up from Don & Mike, but I assume they were riffing on something else.
I love that blue shirt. I have that blue shirt. And the silver pimp chain. And the leather coat. And the bleached hair. And the red shirt. And fairly often the chipped black nail polish.
It's all coincidence, though.

Use caution when dressing like Spike, operating machinery, and performing any other hazardous task until you know how draping on crosses will affect you.
Aside from her being funny (which she is) I always loved your mentions of Johanna in your recaps, because it just made it all so regular. I also liked when Sars or one of the other TWoP writers/mods would comment in another writer's recap.

I have no clue. Who/what is/are Don & Mike. I can hear Xander saying something like it in my head, but that could just be the voices.
Narrator, please to be using the account the clarrificus set up for you. You know the one...
I looked. It confuzzled me. There's strange pictures and someone is talking British. And on today of all days, I ain't truckin' wit' dat.
New day.
Take
that,
independence!
A quote from English naval officer Frederick Marryat, in 1837: "The Americans may have great reason to be proud of this day and of the deeds of their forefathers, but why do they get so confoundedly drunk?"
New day.
Same old confusion.

Since when do we need a reason? Silly Brits. No wonder we threw them out.
