I've really got to learn to just do the damage and get out of town. It's the 'stay and gloat' that gets me every time.

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."

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

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.

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

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

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

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

Yeah but see how you can't be arsed to look it up?

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

We are Buffistas. This isn't our first apocalypse. -- Pix

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.

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

When's your cite?

"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.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

Still unhappy about that whole thing, aren't I?

I high-five you, my sister!

I can't go a day without seeing a ref to the site. Bad for my blood pressure.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

I can't go a day without seeing a ref to the site. Bad for my blood pressure.

I snarl every damn time I see a reference to that site. Trufax. I don't let go of grudges easily, especially scam-artist/pseudicide grudges.

t edit I don't mean "scam-artist" like he was grifting us; I mean it in the sense that he was a big fat lying liar who lies.

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

I keep hoping I'll get over the urge to shout at people when they link to the site, but I talk myself down every time. It's disproportionately stressful, though.

The site is not evil. I must focus on that. Well, it is a sort of evil, but that's an entirely different thing.
