Spike? It's you. It's really you! My therapist thought I was holding on to false hope, but…I knew you'd come back. You're like…you're like Gandalf the White, resurrected from the pit of the Balrog, more beautiful than ever. Oh…he's alive Frodo. He's alive.

[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.

It is totally your name now.

ETA: See? There she goes again.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

She who thinks she is nice but is not.

Oddly enough, in a certain language, the translation of that sounds just like "ha ha ha ha ha ha." FYI.

If I only had a brain...

Note for the history-minded: The Oxford Dictionary Of National Biography [where 'nation' means Britain] will mail you a biography each day for free. The writing style is quirky and the subjects are always fascinating.

Take today's, Britain's first black footballer. [link]

In a match between Rotherham and [Sheffield] Wednesday at Olive Grove I saw Wharton jump, take hold of the cross bar, catch the ball between his legs, and cause three onrushing forwards—Billy Ingham, Clinks Mumford and Micky Bennett—to fall into the net. I have never seen a similar save since and I have been watching football for over fifty years. (Telegraph and Independent)

On 21 September 1890, at Masbrough, Rotherham, Wharton married a local plumber's daughter, Emma Lister (1865–1944). They had no children, and on Arthur's death Emma declined to lay a memorial headstone or, on her death, be buried alongside him. That her husband may well have been the father of her sister Martha's two daughters, Minnie and Nora, probably explains this seemingly uncaring behaviour.

Well, yes, that would do it.

Jesse, what language would that be? I'm not a former Jeopardy contestant, but I am pretty sure Jessese is not a recognized language. I can ask erinaceous though.

I think it's the international language of EAT IT!

Or maybe it's ^.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

There are crates.

Allyson, Seekrits need to be shared, before they explode and go boom.

Allyson, scoot one of the crates over by you-know-who.

Also? I am great at keeping secrets.
