Yes. Men like sports. Men watch the action movie, they eat of the beef, and enjoy to look at the bosoms. A thousand years of avenging our wrongs and that's all you've learned?

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.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

Maybe acetone?

A mixture of acetone, turpentine, and benzine -- otherwise known as The Dip.

Oh noes! The secret is out: the sparkly vampires are actually Toons!

All is well that ends in pizza.

That explains it.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

Angel was fast enough (or psychic enough) to spin and catch a crossbow bolt fired at his back from about 20 feet away, and while evil frequently did that appear-next-to-someone-when-they're-not-looking trick. He also did a running high jump of at least 3 stories to catch a helicopter, and has punched his way through a brick wall. I think those kind of feats should be used for any comparison rather than David Boreanaz's physical fight choreography limitations. (Though I only know enough about the Twillight books to mock the overwrought angst, so maybe Edward juggles cars in them or makes sonic booms while running?)

Hmmm, pretty close . I did not at all expect to like the Twilight books, but a friend bought them for me. Even then, they sat in the box for a couple of months, but then I got home from a trip and needed brain candy, and just over a week later I had read nearly 2500 pages of overly angsty, but otherwise pretty good writing.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

but how did you like the final book? I don't know anything about the books really, but I know a whole lot about the final book due to cleolinda. That final book sounds like an absolute scream.

I was a bit worried about the final book, because I was worried about how Bella's becoming a vampire was going to be, but I liked it quite a lot. Of course, I had complaints here and there, most notably that Meyer never uses one word where 100 will do, and thus some bits really did go on too long, but overall, I liked what she did with it.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

Hmm. They had the first book in the clearance racks at the check out line at TJ Maxx the other day and I thought about picking it up. I have to return something so maybe I'll suck it up and try it out.

Just remember, there's no turning back...

Always Anti-fascist!

I thought the last one was pretty gross.

What is even happening?

The important point, and the one everyone (including JOSS) is missing, is that Buffy could kick both their asses. At the same time.
