I feel better that some wicked smart people didn't know the whole "I Started a Joke" thing.
Good luck. Try not to kill people. Hands! Hands!

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

love's a dream you enter though I shake and shake and shake you

I don't even know the song, though I'm now tempted to Google the lyrics.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
Beej, I don't have the text in front of me, but it was along the lines of "As that great sage Herschel Krustofski once said - 'Marriage is the most fakataked thing one can do.' Many famous people have been married, such as Albert Einstein, John F. Kennedy, and Adolf Hitler."
HUGE paraphrase and misspelling, but you get the idea.

Because books.
Happy Postiversary, P-C!
Mine must have been in February some time.
Mine was, too! I could check the original Great Write thread, I guess. If I weren't way too lazy.
I feel better that some wicked smart people didn't know the whole "I Started a Joke" thing.
I don't think I count as one of those, but count me among the people who had no idea. Now I need to listen to it again.

Wait, somebody dumped Kate?
WTF?

Our wings are not tired.
Never heard the Bee Gees "I started a joke" thing and I worked in radio for many years near that time. Huh. Learn something new every day.

What is even happening?
I feel better that some wicked smart people didn't know the whole "I Started a Joke" thing.It's only a (relative) few places on Google, and no where official, so I think your other friends were faking you out, Jen. That is, about knowing it in the first place.
Wait, somebody dumped Kate?
WTF?If only we Buffistas had a cabinet position dedicated to removing the clearly stupid from the gene pool.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
If you start killing people who break up with Buffistas, it's possible that the currently NGA will never GA ever again.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Count me among those boggling at anyone dumping Kate. If my Kinsey tilted that way, I'd totally consider her a prize and a catch that, once caught, ought to be treasured and delighted in.
P-C, happy Buffistaversary!
I am hee-heeing madly over your knowledge of The Bird, The Mouse and the Sausage. The story element that really pushed it into craxyland for me was not just that the sausage was swallowed by a dog, but that the dog, when called on it, had a whole elaborate justification for having done so. "It was a meatwad and I'm a dog" was not enough; "it was a talking meatwad and thus an affront to rational storytelling, and I'm a dog" was not enough. No, in the craxyland of this story, "It was a talking meatwad carrying forged letters, and I'm a dog." That's the kind of unexpected narrative brilliance that just leaves me breathless.
Also, the moral of the story is clearly something like If you ever dare to change anything about the way you carry out any duty whatsoever, you and everyone you love will die horribly, which is a marvelous insight into the Dark Ages Middle-to-Northern-Eastern-European worldview. I want to marry this fucked-up folk tale and have its deeply wrong babies.

Now that's a lot of killing people, and I don't think even I advocate that much killing.
