Cream soda with 3% alcohol? Huh. That sounds less revolting, although I always preferred root beer to cream soda.
Wash: I didn't think you were one for rituals and such. Mal: I'm not, but it'll keep the others busy for a while. No reason to concern them with what's to be done.

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."

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Like butterscotch but milder, somehow.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
But I have no interest in butterbeer: it sounds kind of disgusting, as does pumpkin juice.
I'm actually intrigued by pumpkin juice! It sounds like it could be good! Every time they mention it, I wonder if it's a real thing because I want to try it. Butterbeer sounds terrible, though.

Hm, I could see that. I don't like butterscotch, though, so I'll stick with pumpkin juice.

Yeah, I always thought of butterbeer as like, cream soda meets butterscotch schnapps. Haven't though of pumpkin juice...I like pumpkin soup fine, but seems it'd be rather smoothie-esque for juice.

The butterbeer they serve at the Harry Potter Universal park in Florida is delicious--somewhere between cream soda and butterscotch, with whipped cream on top. So good it made me wish they'd market it nationally.

So: Virgil's Cream Soda plus Routin's Butterscotch Syrup = Butterbeer.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Butterbeer always sounded painfully yum to me (I always imagined it pretty much just how -t and meara described), and now Polgara is not helping with the craving one tiny bit.
Pumpkin juice, less yum, though I have had some excellent pumpkin smoothies (they tasted like pumpkin pie ice cream milkshakes).

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
There's also the unofficial Harry Potter Cookbook which apparently has a butterbeer recipe.
But after Polgara's report I'm content with my suggestion.

It was sooooo yummy, we all had seconds. Only had the frozen butterbeer though--it was September and ickily humid out.
They also had bottles of pumpkin juice, but we never got around to trying that.
