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."

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

I don't know if you can claim credit for asspull, Hec.

I can claim it. The claim just might not be accurate. I'll relinquish my claim when an earlier cite turns up. But since I'm not looking for it and I doubt anybody else cares, it could be a while.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

I cannot believe I missed all the Fast Eddie crap. I don't know how I dodged that one.

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

Fair point. You can claim it. You can claim anything. But I'm pretty sure you're not the first person I saw use it.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

bah! I schlepped through the heat to Barnes & Noble yesterday to get a copy of Deadline ... only to be told that its release date is TODAY. At least at that store. However, I may have convinced the guy who was helping me to try the book, so it's not a total loss.

Yeah but see how you can't be arsed to look it up? That's the beauty of this specious claiming business.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Bah, indeed! Who do they think they are, Borders?

Couldn't be ... they're still solvent.

I totally will do some work to counter your citation. Have you met me? When's your cite?

only to be told that its release date is TODAY

I happened to be on Amazon yesterday ordering the book for my book club, and somehow my finger slipped and Deadline ended up in my shopping cart as well... So I should have it tomorrow.

"Summers blood," so in discussion after the S5 finale.

Seems like the sort of thing Wordnik would be good for.
