Lorne: Once the word spreads you beat up an innocent old man, well, the truly terrible will think twice before going toe-to-toe with our Avenging Angel. Spike: Yes. The geriatric community will be soiling their nappies when they hear you're on the case. Bravo.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

GA was good, but a little too close to reality.

Except theseadays, for that to be true someone has to be thrown off an island or have their singing insulted by a snide Englishman.

Bag the crypto. Say what is on your mind.

Trudy, Lust of My Life, eschew the reality shows.

Thanks, babe. "Death is my gift," I think.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Just make your resume as long as possible, and call it a vita.

Heh.

aurelia, apply! You'd be perfect for that job.

Thanks for the encouragement, ChiKat. I may need more if I follow thru on this.

And did anyone post that Wendy Wasserstein died?

I caught that earlier today and didn't think to post. I hadn't even heard that she was sick.

Why are Buffistas not on Surface like white on rice?

I've been watching. Well, I haven't watched tonight yet... but I will. Can't help you on Species, but I'm still on the WW wagon.

All the greater beings of the Celtic tradition, bear witness to the fact that it took me a while to hook "WW" up with The West Wing, and cut me some measure of slack.

This is my prayer.

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

And did anyone post that Wendy Wasserstein died?

We were talking about it in Bitches. I first encountered Meryl Streep, Swoozie Kurtz and Jill Eikenberry in the '78 PBS productin of Uncommon Women and Others.

Which, apparently, most women know because of the line about the tasting of the body fluid thingie.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Mmmmm, Fury gives good 24.

Perfect, Matt. Thank you.

You're welcome, Allyson. Hope your resume knocks their socks off!
