I think Lucifer literally means "light bringer"
Angel: You're lying. Gwen: I'm fibbing. It's lying, only classier.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
I always feel sorry for Judas, too. But according to theologians I've talked to, his sin was his suicide
Then there's also the sin of inspiring the name of a heavy metal band....

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
so, less like Prince and more like Boutros Boutros Ghali?
Hee!
I am having trouble writing something at work. It's a summary of stuff that the people reading it will already know. So I don't want to say too much, but then I can't just skip it altogether, because it gives the context for the rest. Eh. "So, remember how you had toast for breakfast? Wasn't that good??"

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil
I'm betting Lucifer doesn't really look anything like Viggo Mortensen. Damn.
Actually, I'd love to see that Lucifer talking to W:
Bush: This war is mine!
Lucifer: Your war is arrogance. That makes it evil. And that's mine.
Bush: Lucifer. Sitting in your basement. Sulking about your break up with the boss. You're nothing.
Lucifer: Time to come home, Georgie.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
(Which...honestly, to me, doesn't seem to make anyone come off any better. God is a psychotic terrorist, and Job is a ex-wannabe-prostitute with Stockholm syndrome and daddy issues?)
Well, again, it's a question of metaphor and meaning vs. plot mechanics, but I also know that it's a pretty upsetting story no matter how you come at it. I'm just twisted enough to enjoy the metaphor and the fucked-upness and all, but I don't expect to be able to convince anyone else that because that's how I feel about it, they ought to too. Just sayin that's my read, is all.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
I've always liked Judas, too. May have to do with early exposure to Jesus Christ Superstar, which, is, like one step away from Bible slash.

I'm betting closer to Dick Cheney. Who I can totally imagine having that conversation with Shrub.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
"So, remember how you had toast for breakfast? Wasn't that good??"
Yeah! Say, hey, thanks for reminding me about that good toast!

Um... I also wanted to mention about the cracked wheat, and then blackberry jam?
I hate myself right now.
