I don't give a good gorram about relevant, Wash. Or objective. And I ain't so afraid of losing something that I ain't gonna try to have it. You and I would make one beautiful baby. And I want to meet that child one day. Period.

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."

No, I don't think I will - me, quoting Captain Steve Rogers, to all of 2020

Well where the hell were you last night when I was confused? I could have looked stupid in our home without 1500 people watching me be dumb.

I was probably either upstairs reading or sitting right next to you.

But, hey, you entertained the hell out of 1500 people. So you got that goin' for ya.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

I just told Co-Worker the story.

She wouldn't quit laughing at me.

Then she sat me down to break the news the Blair Witch wasn't real.

I flipper her off.

t feeling really dumb and literally wants to crawl into a hole

Aw, hell, baby. If it's any consolation, this is not the first time I've heard the question.

Socks are a running theme throughout the series. They are used as symbols of freedom, redemption and love.

Hey Aimee, when I read The Princess Bride it didn't even occur to me that the stuff about Morganstern and the lawsuit and all that was fictional. I can't remember how I ended up finding out the truth. I still get an unpleasant feeling when I think about the book. Sort of icky and betrayed.

Luckily, there's a movie!

Hell, I didn't even read any of the abridgements! I skipped them all thinking, "I don't want to read this jackass talk about whatthefuckever! I want to get to the FireSwamp!"

Now I have to start all over!

Ouise, I'm so glad I'm not alone.

Also, Richard Bachman is really Stephen King.

(Something I actually knew about 10 years before it became public due to family connections with King and his family).

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

When I read Kate Chopin's The Awakening, I thought the woman at the end was going for a swim and would come out of the Ocean and have a better life, but she was really drowning herself. Also, it took me several chapters to figure out that Buck in the Call of the Wild was a dog, not a person.
