A while back, I told someone (I think sj) that I would post here when I put my Buffy related action figures on eBay, which I just did today. I have Williow (S1), Anyanka, the Master, Faith from Angel S1, and Cordelia from Angel S1. The listings are here
Buffy and Angel 1: BUFFYNANGLE4EVA!!!!!1!
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.

I just put up my Oz, Vampire Angel, and Giles action figures for sale as well. The listings are here: [link]
Delurking to say:
Nick Brendon kicks off his run in Lobster Alice at the Blank Theatre Co. in Los Angeles tonight. If you're so inclined and want to help me look like a webmaster who gets results, you can send your best wishes via the NickBrendon.com boards.
Lots of people are looking at the thread, but few are posting.
The unpopular characters? Forgot Falsone. He was the Poochie of detective characters.
So, we get to meet our students on Saturday, and my principal has suggested that it might be nice if each of the teachers perform something, since it's a performing arts school. Now, normally, I'd be fine with singing something, and that's probably what I'll end up doing. I have two minor caveats with that, though: first, it's likely that several of the other teachers will also sing, and variety would be nice. Second, well, our principal sang in an off-broadway musical last year, and our special ed teacher was an opera singer at juilliard.
I'm a good karaoke voice, but if they go too... I'm losing out.
So. I'm thinking it would be fun, and a good way to introduce myself, if I could act out a short scene from Buffy. A short, funny, self-contained scene that requres only the most basic background knowledge (so that I can set it up in 60 seconds). I don't mind playing a couple of characters, though something with longish monologues would be nice so I'm not switching character over 2 words.
Ideas?
You could scare the crap out of them and do Giles' monologue as he kills Ben.
They're fourteen and in a new place. That would be mean. Thus why I'm thinking amusing.
Which would almost certainly require multiple characters, I know, as Buffy humor is all about the repartee.
Oh! I could do Buffy's fake death of a salesman monologue in Restless. That could be kind of funny.
The unpopular characters? Forgot Falsone. He was the Poochie of detective characters.
Falsone (who didn't bother me that much) and The Woman Who Killed Homicide, who I can't think of in any other way no matter what she shows up on. (The Beatdown!, which was always spoken in capital letters.)
