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 haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

If that's the guy's name, yeah. They definitely get married.

Because books.

Thanks, Dana!

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.

So you're saying that you are not amused?

Less amused, more bemused.

And I adore Tep because she knows there's a difference, as SO FEW PEOPLE do anymore.

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

So you're saying that you are not amused?

Heh. That trope is just so hackneyed now. They did Jesus Christ Vampire Slayer years ago. They're all secret fighters against the supernatural.

"Bemused" actually bothers me, because I always, ALWAYS read it as "amused puzzlement," but amusement is not, in fact, anywhere in the definition.
