Awesome! We should have a Buffista party on the day Shrift gives notice.
TOTALLY.
Giles: Stop that, you two. Riley: He started it... Xander: He called me a bad name! I think
it was bad; it might have been Latin.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

It helps that most Scandinavian-American family names were assigned at Ellis Island, and therefore don’t have much history attached to them.
While mine didn't get assigned at Ellis, it was pretty much chosen at random a generation or two before. And given the number of people with it, I've come to the conclusion that the swedes of that era were not a particularly creative lot.

vanguard of the socialist Hollywood liberal homosexualist agenda
Ok, so what is it with the thing where you hear a word that you've never heard before, and within 48 hours you'll hear it again? I've never heard of Bakelite until someone mentioned it in GWW... and now it was just in the book I was reading over lunch. I'm mildly wigged.

It's not a wedding reception until the Electric Slide has been danced.
And I'm afraid it's a personal peeve of mine, but I must correct that the store's name is IKEA, all caps, and it doesn't stand for anything.

Ailleann -- I just learned 'aubade' but it hasn't come round yet.

I look more rad than Lutheranism
There are things I need to do before I get fired on Friday
Okay, see, no you don't. You don't even *officially* KNOW that you're getting fired on Friday. As far as your bosses (good and bad) are concerned, you think Friday is Just Another Workday.
I am petty and spiteful, but I don't think you need to do anything more than you would do on Just Another Workday.

Also? Oatmeal cookies go with raisins (and nuts). Tollhouse cookies get chocolate chips and walnuts. Chocolate does not go in oatmeal cookies!

"The fact that we live at the bottom of a deep gravity well, on the surface of a gas covered planet going around a nuclear fireball 90 million miles away and think this to be normal is obviously some indication of how skewed our perspective tends to be."
And I'm afraid it's a personal peeve of mine, but I must correct that the store's name is IKEA, all caps, and it doesn't stand for anything.
According to their corporate creation myth:
"The name IKEA comes from the initials of Ingvar Kamprad, I and K, plus the first letters of Elmtaryd and Agunnaryd, which are the names of the farm and village where he grew up."

I love Ikea. I need to go there actually to get new glasses. The last time I was there I bought a ridiculous number of cheap yet sassy juice glasses, and we have managed to break all but 6 or 7 of them.
Emmett is just fabulous, right down to having two middle names. (DH has two middle names, too. One of them is David!)

Okay, okay -- it's not an acronym. You don't mean "Ingvar Kamprad Elmtaryd Agunnaryd" when you say IKEA.
