Buffistas

Giles, help! He's going to scold me!

Buffy ,'Never Leave Me'

The Minearverse 5: Closer to the Earth, Further from the Ax

[NAFDA] "There will be an occasional happy, so that it might be crushed under the boot of the writer." From Zorro to Angel (including Wonderfalls, The Inside and Drive), this is where Buffistas come to anoint themselves in the bloodbath.

Returning to the smoking conversation for a moment, I just saw a commercial encouraging people to vote against Prop 86. (New crazy-assed tobacco tax.) According to the Association for LA County Deputy Sheriffs, if it passes, it will "increase tobacco smuggling and crime."

I was unaware that there was such a thing as tobacco smuggling but it intrigues me. In recent months, I've considered a life of crime. Perhaps this would be a good entrée to the underworld. Tobacco smuggler.

Though they do always say it's a mistake to sample your own product, which I fear could be a serious issue.

I'm now envisioning you zoned out in your living room with half a 1 kilo brick of tobacco on the coffee table.

That's not too far from my current reality.

My latte is too sweet. I even had the dude remake it and, still, he made it too sweet. I don't like new people. If I were a kingpin, I could take him out and have him beaten.

ETA: Oh! And since this is the Soaps thread, I give you hilarious Guiding Light news:

Guiding Light, America's oldest soap opera -- it began on radio in 1937 and moved to television in 1952 -- will be taking aim at younger viewers next month when it introduces a Marvel Comics-created superhero on Nov. 1. Marvel Comics said that it will cross-promote the storyline with an eight-page insert to appear in several of its comic books in which the Guiding Light characters will interact with Marvel superheroes.

What is even happening?

The hell? Who is their head writer and is it whoever was in charge of Days when Marlena was possessed and/or Carly Manning Katerina Von Whatever was buried alived (for freaking weaks) by Vivian?

HA! I was thinking the same thing. Maybe Possessed!By!Satan!Marlena will cross-over.

In unrelated news, I'm over at Monster and it seems that they have a thing now where they tell you how you stack up against other people who have submitted resumes to the same job. I find this bizarre.

What is even happening?

I don't know if I'd want to know that, unless I asked. Is it just there, or do you have to request it?

Kristen - Oct 21, 2006 10:48:47 am PDT #1524 of 10001

It's just there. It appears after you've hit apply. "28% share your education. 9% share your experience."

What does that even mean?

The Guiding Light news makes me laugh and laugh. I don't follow GL. I may have to tape a few just to see. Har.

If you ask me, most soaps would be improved by the occasional appearance of murderous Doombots.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

OMG, that GL news is hilarious.

Is this the Project Greenlight thread? Because I just saw an ad for Feast on DVD.
