ION, Home On The Strange is having a Buffy-themed week....
why is season two being coughed over?
No. You're missing the point. The design of the thing is functional. The plan is not to shoot you. The plan is to get the girl. If there's no girl, then the plan, well, is like the room.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
And I don't even drink coffee, but as a host I feel obligated to have some way to make coffee for guests.
Heh. That's why we have a french press too.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Because who the villian is is more of a mid-season shocker, rather than obvious fairly early on?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
THANK YOU to non-coffee-drinkers who have coffee making capacity at home, for guests. I am still traumatised by my friend's parents who felt that Folger's crystals were sufficient for this purpose.

Ann, that's a ferret.
When I moved to DC, the big ATM network was MOST. Which, I'm sure led to the following exchange in some places:
DC resident: Does this machine take MOST cards?
Local: No, just [local network].
Also, bow-TEEK, "fountain" (South Central WI), and "pop" turned to "Coke" (Southernism).

BOO-tique.
Grew up with a percolator. Familiar sounds and smells of brewing at 5 am every morning.

AND MISSOURI IS CRAZZZY. WE ARE NOT KANSAS, goddammit.
I'm writing an angry letter this weekend. Possibly a letter to the editor of the Kansas City Star.
GRRRR. Logic, much?

There are MAC machines in Delaware, too, but I don't know what it stands for. I call them ATMs. I used to call them cash flow machines, because that's what our college campus one was called, and that's when I first started using them.
So, what region is it that calls all soda coke? I know I did that as a kid, and then later switched to soda, but we were in Germany then, and I think when you asked for a coke, you usually got an actual Coke because that's what was there at the time, so...

I usually have a jar of instant in the freezer. For my dad, who actually drinks gallons and gallons of that stuff and likes instant. I need to go get another before he visits again. He polished it off in January.

Coke is a Southern thing. Every soda is a coke.
And I was a "pop" sayer till I went to college.

I think it's Deep South. That quiz didn't have an option for what I call soda, which is "soft drink". I also heard "cold drink" a lot in New Orleans.
