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."

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

So you're saying that you are not amused?

Less amused, more bemused.

Because books.

Less amused, more bemused

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

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

Elmer Fudd, Werewolf Hunter
Abraham Lincoln - Zombie Emancipator!
Keith Richards - Ghoul Fucker
Elizabeth Bennett, Zombie Fighter...wait a minute...

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

Keith Richards - Ghoul Fucker

That is a faulty, shoddy-ass dictionary. Feh.

Well, it's the third definition. First two are confuse and distract.
