Buffistas

A year and a half ago, I could have eviscerated him with my thoughts. Now I can barely hurt his feelings. Things used to be so much simpler.

[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.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I know that isn't the popular opinion

I don't know if that's true -- plenty of people in the Firefly thread expressing their love. Not to mention good exit poll numbers.

I buy my cheese grated more and more often. I find I'm safer with the microplane, but I still have to be on DEFCON 3 to get away safe.

The status is NOT quo.

The sad thing is that I wasn't even really cleaning the grater. I was cleaning the counter and brushed--I thought lightly, but obviously not--up against it. It's bled through two bandaids so far.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

Clutziness + Aimee / block cheese = Salad Shooter.

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

Graters are the single most dangerous kitchen implement.

I find I'm safer with the microplane,

Go microplane. Microplane is your friend.

If I only had a brain...

I've microplaned my fingers too. Smaller, daintier cuts. Anyway, microplanes are no good for coarse grating, such as you need for pimiento cheese.

That's why you let other people do the work for you. Back in the day, I'd have a friend over, make him grate, and then feed him as recompense.

Now I just buy grated.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

Reminds me of Mitch Hedberg:

I have a cheese-shredder at home, which is its positive name. They don't call it by its negative name, which is sponge-ruiner.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

That's why you let other people do the work for you.

I used to do this all of the time.

Now I just buy grated.

Now I do this.

I can also use the food processor but there is still sharpness involved and sharpness leads to bleeding even when I am being very very careful.

Right now I have a finger with a mystery notch out of it and I have no idea how it got there. The only grated cheese in my recent past has been handed to me at the taco shop window which makes it much safer. For my fingers if not my arteries.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why? Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.

I got a rock!

Is it a big rock? Did you tell all your friends?

All this painful hand-grating talk reminds me why I'm a heathen and buy pre-shredded cheese.

All this time, I thought Hunter was a bitch. Turns out she was just hungry.

I've never met anyone at a fan event who has babbled except in charming, ego-boosting fashion. And never do they strike one as idiots. Ever.

But then he's never met me. (signed) Ned Seagoon
