Wash: Were I unwed, I would take you in a manly fashion. Kaylee: 'Cause I'm pretty? Wash: 'Cause you're pretty.

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.

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda

There was only one catch and that was Catch-22, which specified that a concern for one's own safety in the face of dangers that were real and immediate was the process of a rational mind. Orr was crazy and could be grounded. All he had to do was ask; and as soon as he did, he would no longer be crazy and would have to fly more missions. Orr would be crazy to fly more missions and sane if he didn't, but if he was sane, he had to fly them. If he flew them, he was crazy and didn't have to; but if he didn't want to, he was sane and had to. Yossarian was moved very deeply by the absolute simplicity of this clause of Catch-22 and let out a respectful whistle.

"That's some catch, that Catch-22," he observed.

"It's the best there is," Doc Daneeka agreed.

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

I guess the difference in definition comes from taking something in everyday pop culture and trying to fit it into academic technical terminology.

This, totally. Academic jargon != What Words Mean In The Real World.

Woe to the fucking wicked.

It seems like there should be a different word for something that's more like self-manslaughter, rather than self-murder, which is what we think of as suicide.

Don't know what that word would be, but it'd be a reasonable word to have. I mean we refer to people behaving as though they have a death-wish, taking "unreasonable" risks.

GRIS! How was NoCA? How's married life?

Hey. New board.

GRIS! How was NoCA? How's married life?

NoCa was amazing. Married life is, thus far, awesome. Though so far remarkably similar to shacking-up life. That should change once we move out of NYC next year though (we're thinking Nashville and a house).

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love

Woo! I can recommend Nashville! Though, uh, it's not entirely certain that we'll still be here in a year. But not unlikely, either.

I do believe in killing the messenger, you know why? Because it sends a message. ~ Damon Salvatore

i'll be here! Kate, it's really a shame that we still haven't managed to meet up.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

I might be in Nashville briefly in November! I have industry peeps to see, but may also have free time!

Hey. New board.

Everybody I've spoken to in the ENTIRE WORLD seems to love Nashville. Well, okay, not my scared-of-cities country relatives, though they, at least, are happy I will be closer to Louisiana.

But we should head back towards topic. Buffy is a great show! Though my wife is not a fan. She dislikes the camp, sadly. (She loved Firefly and Dollhouse, though.)
