Um... this is one of the freakiest things I've read about Katrina - a Norwegian paper quotes a New Orleans doctor who says they "killed critically ill patients rather than leaving them to die in agony as they evacuated hospitals."
Jayne (Husband): Oh, I think you might wanna reconsider that last part. See, I married me a powerful ugly creature. Mal (Wife): How can you say that? How can you shame me in front of new people? Jayne (Husband): If I could make you purtier, I would. Mal (Wife): You are not the man I met a year ago.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

January was an auspicious month for a lot of parents-of-Buffistas, or so it seems.

Wow. I can see the rationale, but I'd hate to be the one making that decision. I'd much prefer for any people I might kill to be healthy and richly deserving of the dirt nap.
Happy Birthday, Billytea and Polter-Cow!
In the "who's best to protect me" discussion, remember that should the assailant be a vampire the hockey players are far more likely to have wooden weapons and skates that can be used to decapitate.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I'm afraid I'm not sure what you mean.
I think what I mean is "life" in Hebrew? That people wear charms of around their necks? There's a number connected to that.
Or am I just crazy again?

What is even happening?
13 is the representation of ... hai? How do you spell that? in English?
chaim? Life? Is that what you mean, Jesse?

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
The usual transliteration is "chai," but the number is 18, not 13. (Signed, She Whose Mother Likes Giving Hannukah Gift Certificates In Multiples Of 18.)
chaim
-im denotes the plural possessive. Chaim = "our life/lives" (roughly)

Did anyone ask you? NO THEY DID NOT.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Chai is one way of spelling the word that means life. The number that corresponds to that is 18.

Suddenly I thought of another worst song canidate.
Gets a pass for being part of one of the funniest murder sequences in movie history.
