There is probably some mystical sect that believes in a drunken Creator. It would explain a lot.
Spike: At least give me Wesley's office since he's gone. Angel: He's not gone. He's on a leave of absence. Spike: Yeah, right. Boo-hoo. Thought he killed his bloody father. Try staking your mother when she's coming on to you! Harmony: Well…that explains a lot.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
What a bizarre story. [link] I don't remember hearing about that at the time.
Tim has me trying to remember the motives behind the assassinations/attempts. I'm thinking probably 1/2 are loonies with little or no political reason.

What is even happening?
You're all crazy, and I am earwormed with the theme song from The Banana Splitz.

Well, not a creator, but there are the Dionysus/Bacchus/Liber adherents.

Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who matter don't mind and those who mind don't matter.
Creepy link, Aurelia. I don't remember that story getting much attention at the time either, though I suspect that the tin foil hat crowd probably have files on it.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
I'd like to point out that Betsy missed a prime opportunity to quote "Assassins."

My favorite Banana Splits had one of the girls (they were some kind of gang, weren't they?)
Yep, The Sour Grape Bunch. We had a piece on them in the book.
Paul Winchell and the artificial heart is as oddly pleasing as Hedy Lamarr and the radiotelemetry/sonar doohickey.
The wonderful thing about Tiggers
Is the cardiocyber parts
The tops are made of the rubber
the bottom is spring loaded hearts

Yeah, I was off watching *The Amazing Race* during prime assassin-discussing time. Sob!

I'm just not sure how much bouncing you'd want to do with an artificial heart.
