Actually not needing validation right now, but thank you.

Buffy ,'Lies My Parents Told Me'


Natter 37: Oddly Enough, We've Had This Conversation Before.  

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.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

another sad story from the files of Jesse's ghetto mis-spent youth.

I still can't decide if that was the worst date, or the one to a formal with a guy who talked more to my parents while I was finishing getting ready than he did to me the whole night. At least that one, I was with other friends.

In retrospect, I feel pretty good that even though I had a bunch of terrible dates in high school, the ones since haven't been so bad.

I mean, there was the guy where the only thing we found in common was Star Trek (and you know how much of a Trekkie I am), but at least I was grown up enough to leave after an hour or so.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

Now I will never write that short story where Judge Crater, Jimmy Hoffa, and Ambrose Bierce meet in the desert somewhere as founding members of the Disappeared Society.

What - no Amelia Earhart?

What - no Amelia Earhart?

She's part of the Atlantic Chapter.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."

What - no Amelia Earhart?

It was really hard for her to pass customs back into the US without being recognized. Bierce only had to cross the Mexican border by land, and the other two could just take interstate highways.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Definitely.

Keep breathing!

Popping out of lurker mode to say hi, can anyone help with a puzzle? Games Magazine has a puzzle where you ID the pieces from 15 different games - the picture include something with a very familiar-looking "B". Anyone know the Buffy-verse board games well enough to help?

Actually, I'm nowhere with this puzzle, so while you're at it, can you help with any of the other 13 pieces? (The chess piece I got.)

Here's the puzzle

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

Definitely.

That is working out pretty well so far. msbelle, come visit.

Hi, Shari! The piece in the front center is from Shogi, a.k.a. Japanese Chess. (I think it's a knight).

I don't recognize any of those game pieces. Except chess. The bunny one is cute, though.
