Giles, if you would like to get by in American society, then you are going to have to follow our traditions. You're the patriarch. You have to host the festivities, or it's all meaningless.

Yeah, I can see that, and I didn't mean that as a slap at her as it may have sounded - but the HS post really seemed to come out of left field.

As far as pet peeves go, it is an odd one! But, mind, I remember having similar issues in S7 WRT the wall smashing in the Summers house, because plaster walls don't smash like paper.

If it's any consolation, that bothered me too. I think I had more sympathy for the poor Summers house in Season 7 than for anyone living in it.

There can be a Shakespeare fandom?

Shakespeare was my first fandom. Of course, it was pre-Web, and I was pretty much pre-clue, so for me it was pretty local, but yes, I'd say that there can be rabid Shakespeare fandom.

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Several Romeo and Juliet stories did very well at yuletide this year.

Hamlet and Horatio were so doing it.
