Lorne: Snakes? Uh-huh. And they came out of your what? Okay. Okay, well, did they get up there themselves or is this part of a, you know, a thing? No, I'm not judging...Do we fight snakes? Angel: Only if they're giant. Or demons. Or giant demons. Are they giant demon snakes? Lorne: Well, unless this guy's 30 feet tall, I'm thinking they're of the garden variety.

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.

I sense a story here.

Yes, I was wondering about that myself.

But you should definitely cast James Remar as someone!

Would you settle for a monkey? I keep trying to work one in to the show, just for you, but the idea isn't catching on. Yet.

Have a monkey win the race.

Actually, I think I just invented the first Drive fan fic with that plot.

Would you settle for a monkey?

Can it be a cheese eating surrender monkey?

I was going for a more intellectual monkey. Like the Seriously, Monkey monkey.

Like the Seriously, Monkey monkey.

Now that's a good monkey.

A finger monkey could work.

Or, a monkey with a fez. It's a classic for a reason.

Or in deference to Allyson's favorite vice, Smoking monkey.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

I sense a story here.

Imagine 1997-era Cordelia Chase with shorter hair and a trim goatee. Wearing men's designer clothes instead of women's, and much smaller earrings.

The physical resemblance was freaky enough once I realized why the guy looked so familiar, but in addition the phrase "I'm not conceited, but..." popped up more than once during the swankiest dinner date I've ever had. Though I suppose the surreal nature of the evening was preferable to the sheer boredom a non-Buffy fan would have experienced listening to modeling career anecdotes for two hours.

Query: Does Ben Edlund have a site somewhere?

Something akin to Tim or Fury or Jane's blog or anything?

Google's not helping me.

Does Ben Edlund have a site somewhere?
I'm guessing not, because if Edlund had a web presence, I'm sure the Venture Bros. folks would have linked to it at some point.

Or maybe he's Josh Emery. Hm.

Would you settle for a monkey? I keep trying to work one in to the show, just for you, but the idea isn't catching on. Yet.

Aw! Hey, in lieu of a monkey, maybe you could just work in a reference to Chim-Chim!

I just want Remar because he was on Jericho and Galactica and I think it would be funny if he'd pop up on every show I recapped. Well, and 'cause he's cool, of course.

Tim, if you pop in again: did you get Fraction's package? Of stuff that you'll never have time to read?

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

Strega, did you get my package? Of tubby toys?
