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 look more rad than Lutheranism

I wonder if anyone at P&G remembers when their logo was rumored to be satanic.

Oh yeah. They do. And they get really salty if you bring it up. (Source: I know several P&Gers and like to stir the pot.)

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

Does anyone here want a nice hardcover copy of Isabel Allende's an Infinite Plan? I picked it up at the library bookstore the other day and then realized I already owned it.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

P&G Wants to Trademark LOL and Other Millennial Phrases

One of the acronyms they want to trademark is WTF, which is perfect on so many levels.

And also FML, which I really don't see as effective marketing for detergent.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

(After googling P&G products) maybe for Pepto-bismol?

Hey. New board.

FML is for Pampers commercials.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love

I decided to start reading the Prydain Chronicles to Rose tonight. We read the first chapter of The Book of Three, and she seemed to like it, though I'm not sure she was really following the story. After she went to bed, I sat and read/skimmed through the whole book, and was delighted to find that it was just as good as I remembered. I loved those books so much as a kid.

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

I know we've talked about this before, but yeah. Me too.
