Oh, God. Oh, God. My hair. My hair! The government gave me bad hair!

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."

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Bugs Bunny is quite wascally, so I hear.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

Rascal = Bart Simpson.

Points at own nose and at Teppy.

That's a whole different vibe.

Ann, that's a ferret.

I also don't think Oliver Twist is a rascal. He makes the best of bad situations and comes out with his honor relatively intact.

Bart Simpson is definitely a rascal. And I don't know whether the author would consider comic strips to be literature, but Dennis the Menace.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

When I hear the word "rascal" my mind immediately goes to Rhett Butler.

Also- Holden Caulfield is way to low-key to be a rascal.

Because books.

I also don't think Oliver Twist is a rascal.

The Artful Dodger, though ...

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Also- Holden Caulfield is way to low-key to be a rascal.

Yeah. And he's pretty much mid-breakdown. He's really more flailing wildly than stiring up mischeif.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Who's Ramona Quimby? Which pic is she?

Shit's all sorts of different now.

The very first one. She's a character created by Beverly Clearly. She's a great character. I think a lot of little girls felt like Ramona could have been written about them. I know I did.
