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."

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.

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

But I'm pretty sure you're not the first person I saw use it.

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.

Always Anti-fascist!

I totally used that incident to win arguments on Daily Kos after Olbermann pulled the first, to my knowledge, BNF Internet Flounceoff. Because they felt so betrayed...and I was all "Have you *met* the internet?" (The Gus incident...not the Asspull Incident...Henry Fonda was in that one.Right?) I still feel a little sad catching my hero acting like an eighth grade girl, though. Definitely "a swing and a miss,"

Ann, that's a ferret.

Henry Fonda was in that one.Right?

Claude Rains, I think.
