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."

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

You've got friends to have good times with. When you need to share the trauma of a badly-written book with someone, that's when you go to family.

Dude apparently ran unopposed for president because he manipulated the other candidate into dropping out:

At this point I'm waiting for him to peel off a mask and reveal it was Kevin Spacey the whole time.
