Don't you just love this party? Everything's so fancy, and there's some kind of hot cheese over there.

[NAFDA] "There will be an occasional happy, so that it might be crushed under the boot of the writer." From Zorro to Angel (including Wonderfalls and The Inside), this is where Buffistas come to anoint themselves in the bloodbath.

Um.

Didn't your government or your networks cut the hell out of Buffy and Angel, before they could air in UK, at least at certain hours?

There isn't a government censor, but yes, the networks do self-censor. IIRC, there is also a unofficial "watershed" hour after which the rules are loosened.

nutters. i love that word.

So do I. I also enjoy wingnut and another one that gets occasional play around here but that I can't remember at the moment. No, wait - wackaloon - that's the one. (Whackaloon?)

This picture of Phil "Sideshow Bob" Spector in court (that's not a typo) prompted Hec to comment, "It is one of the great whackaloon hairdos of recorded history." It takes chutzpah to wear that hair in public; it takes something more than chutzpah to wear it to court when you're up on murder charges. That something being complete lunacy.

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

Is that where that came from? It's our? Hec's? That's so cool - I use that word all the time.

And if it's real, please tell me the people who handle these things looked at these loons and then told them this is an idiotic idea and to just sit the fuck down and think a bit before the next time they open their mouths.

This is pretty much my mantra these days. Not going so well, really.

Oh, I've heard other people not from here use it, too. I don't think it originated here. It just gets used, and when it does, I always remember how much I like it.

So it's back next week?

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Man walks down the street with hair like that, you know he's not afraid of anything.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Is that where that came from? It's our? Hec's? That's so cool - I use that word all the time.

Heh. I wish I had the coinage. But I think it's widely used as JenP notes.

Zenkitty -

wasn't that Mal's line about the hat?

"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

I assume he's pleading not guilty by reason of insanity, and that hair is material evidence?
