Blockbuster had a "only G-rated or store promotional video" rule for what we could watch in-store. I loved to put in the old Muppet Show highlight videos that we had, as well as Schoolhouse Rock. I also put in holiday-appropriate musicals (although my manager did have a small freakout when I put in 1776 on July 4th--the occasion "God damn the man!" comments from Thomas Jefferson, et al, worried her).
Giles: Stop that, you two. Riley: He started it... Xander: He called me a bad name! I think
it was bad; it might have been Latin.

I'd bop over with a huge smile on my face and start giving enthusastic recommendations while they got more and more uncomfortable.
Hee! Clearly, they were trying to make you uncomfortable. How marvelous that it backfired every time.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Yay, Emmett!!!!
But why just a wee plaster? Why not the full-on Phantom of the Opera look? Think of your fans, little face-busted dude!!

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Phantom of the Opera we could have all dealt with. The big fear was that he'd end up with some version of (whitefonted just in case there's anyone out there who hasn't yet seen Sideways and is planning to) Thomas Haden Church's crazy-ass full face cast contraption.
I'm betting the wee bit of plaster looks almost unbearably cute. I hope he gets his friends to sign his cast.

Always Anti-fascist!
So glad to hear that the news is good for Emmett. Funny how you can develop a soft spot for somebody you never met. (I'm still hoping to fix that over the summer, though.)
