gibberish" is a very blunt way of putting forth an opinion (certainly blunter than Buffistas typically are)
Uh. I must be subscribed to different threads than you are.
But that's neither here nor there.
I'm supposed to deliver you to the Master now. There's this whole deal where I get to be immortal. Are you cool with that?

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'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
I think connie's comment was ill-timed, which she has admitted.
But I also think she deserves an apology.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
But I also think she deserves an apology.
See above.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I think Connie's initial comment was obnoxious, Hec's response rude, and they should both take it to email so the rest of us can get back to talking about books.

Well, I can at least take some comfort from this shameful episode in the fact that we are at our rudest over literature, and not, for example, Britney Spears' tube socks.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
People! You're all welcome to your opinions of Ulysses, but this isn't a good place for duelling. Getting bloodstains off a server is such a messy task.

Always Anti-fascist!
keeping such a hard line on the subject is not inspiring to a person to change her opinion. Joyce survived obscenity trials; he might not need you to protect him.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
So I started reading this great book the other day! It was called One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Blue Fish. See, first there was one fish, and then there were two fish! There was also a red fish and a blue fish. I can't wait to see what other fish are in store. Has anyone else read this book? DON'T SPOIL ME.

erika, have I mentioned lately that I love you?

Ann, that's a ferret.
flea, I have to agree. It isn't every board that would kerfuffle over the literary canon.
