Literary Buffistas 3: Don't Parse the Blurb, Dear.

There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."

Ann, that's a ferret.

Boys are dangerous, pretty much by definition. But it's more likely because of not thinking, not thinking too much.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

Someone needs to put together a computer program to search for Shakespeare quotes by play so we can know for sure which is the most quoted. I would say Hamlet if I was familiar with more than just the plays Slings & Arrows covered.

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda

Next year, though!

You should. They've got a lot for kids, including a parade each morning. I think I'd like to see the flamenco version of Ferdinand the Bull myself, but I'm pretty much tied to venue I'm running. If you change your mind, I'll be looking harried in the Holiday Inn conference center.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

Casper has a classmate named Cassius.

Seriously? That's like naming your daughters Goneril and Regan (which I remember some Buffista mentioning). Trouble right there (in River City).

I would name a cat Cassius, though.

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil

If I ever adopted two sister cats, I'd totally name them Goneril and Regan! And just what to see who'd turn on the other first...

Bet you it was after Cassius Clay, not Shakespeare.

My brother and his wife have a cat named Cordelia, but I'm not sure if that's a Shakespeare reference or a Buffy/Angel one (it was the cat my sister-in-law brought with her into the relationship).

Cassius is a perfect cat name. And I have met a cat namd Brutus.

I used to have a rat named Brutus. He was named after the rat from NiMH, though.

Because books.

The children have almost convinced me to change the cat's name to Emperor Palpatine. Which isn't Shakespearean, but still.

I figure I can call him Pal.
