Can't even shout, Can't even cry. The Gentlemen are coming by. Looking in windows, knocking on doors. They need to take seven, and they might take yours. Can't call to mom, can't say a word. You're gonna die screaming but you won't be heard.

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."

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

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

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

I had no idea there was any confusion over the meaning of bemused until quite recently.

shakes head.

Now I'm imagining Queen Victoria saying: "We are not bemused."

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

She could slay, she just didn't like to.

She was an empress of the largest empire in human history. Surely she had people for that.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Abe Lincoln, Zombie Hunter sends me to a very happy Amazing Screw-On Head place.

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

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

Abe Lincoln, Zombie Hunter sends me to a very happy Amazing Screw-On Head place.

I continue to show that to people, and they are always "Why didn't this get made into a series?"

Sigh.
