Death is your art. You make it with your hands day after day. That final gasp, that look of peace. And part of you is desperate to know: What's it like? Where does it lead you? And now you see, that's the secret. Not the punch you didn't throw or the kicks you didn't land. She really wanted it. Every Slayer has a death wish. Even you.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Is the "clowns will eat me" thing a quote from something? odd.

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

horrible or adorable?

Perfect for Bardot A Go Go.

I made JZ watch a movie I'd nabbed off TiVo - The Pleasure Seekers. Ann Margaret, 1964, set in Madrid. There was much wailing and gnashing of teeth (truly) as JZ reviewed the fashions of 1964. There was a lot of Inappropriate Pink. And also Peach. It's like the whole decade was conspiring to try to make Ann Margaret look bad.

I thought it was from the Simpsons, but maybe its just weirdly sourceless.

t x-post proves me right.

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

Alice Cooper has a song with that title.

Can't sleep the clowns will eat me -- they always want to take a bite

This engenders a complex feeling on my part.

On the one hand: My dad was a clown.

On the other hand: I heard my ex-GF talk at length about her clown traumas.

I think that Alice Cooper song post-dates after the Bart reference.
