There was a line in it that totally made me think of you. They refered to a Player to be named later.

Spike's Bitches 23: We've mastered the power of positive giving up.
[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.
Benedict. Benedictine is the adjective (and also the alcohol.)
::somewhat dissapointed, as Benedictine rhymes with sixteen::
Sorry AIDS and overpopulation, crippling poverty and forced prostitution- maybe in another 30 years.
FWIW, maybe sooner -- he is in his 70s.
Sorry, I'll blame my mother for that, Betsy. I left the TV and was getting my information from her, on the phone.

Discovery/History/TLC (one of those type) had a special on Papal elections last night. They referred to electing an old Pope as 'someone who will keep the chair of Peter warm without moving the furniture around too much.'
I kinda like the thought of Pope Benedictine XVI. Kinda like a huge bottle of liquor in a pointy hat. (More than three times as big as a fifth.)
Since I'm a UU pagan I also lack an aggessive canine, but I'm glad the pope's been chosen. Now we won't have 5 minutes of BBC America (a large chunk considering it's a 20 minute show) devoted to, "Nope. No pope yet." They'll spend a day or so on the Ratzinger Retrospective and Speculations, and then they'll move on to Tony Blair's chances of staying PM, soccer scores, and the latest super 'flu.
My parents- mom and stepdad- are UU, which doesn't count as organized religion. I loved that church though. Alex's service was there and it was beautiful. It's actually where I first met my stepfamily many moons ago. It's not for me, but I still have fond memories.
My UU aunt describes her church as "We believe in one god, at most."
[eta: Which technically, since they've got a bunch of pagan members, is more quippy than accurate. But it makes me laugh.]
I'm disappointed. Really and truly. The marginalization of many American Catholics continues.
We had a few athiests in our church, probably some pagans- though I'm not sure they were in the strictest sense (if there's such a thing as orthodox paganism).
