And don't you ever stand for that sort of thing. Someone ever tries to kill you, you try to kill 'em right back! ... You got the right same as anyone to live and try to kill people.

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."

Earworms? This early in the morning? Involving Kenny Rogers? I hate you all.

What condition is your condition in?

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil

Are you working 9 to 5, Dana?

What a way to make a livin'.

It is the only way to be sure.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

You may nuke us, Dana, but I will always love you.

Ah, but do you love her in Dolly-voice, or Whitney-voice?

(Two! Two earworms for the price of one!)

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

I guess Dana knew when to fold them.

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

It's Islands in the Net I think

Right you are - and bonus points for earworming Dana.

Maybe we should hum "Little Birdhouse In Your Soul" to divert her.

Funny - did not like Conquistador at all.

Oh, it's very different from the Merchant Princes ones (where I liked the first book a lot, and less the next few, and I can't quite articulate why). Just the whole idea of parallel worlds that you can make money by bringing things from one to the other.
