I would bet cash money that as a narrative device, "and also his penis was TRAGICALLY MISSING" occurs more often when a dude is writing.
I think women would just kill people.
Bing bing bing!
Wesley: And how does your kind define love? Demon: Same as all bodies. Same as everywheres. Love is sacrifice.

What is even happening?
That's why God made poison.

But isn't setting someone on fire so much more dramatically satisfying?

While fire is my true love, it depends on what poison you use. You can get some really fun, with pretty colors! interesting effects if you pick the right poison. Plus, not as easy to trace to whodunit.
Or so I've read in books. Which I read for writing research. No other reason.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
One of my friends used to do con security. She was working with Christopher Lambert once and noticed that his personal security was all women. She asked him why, and reportedly he said something like, "Because guys come at me with swords a LOT, and men will engage, every time. Women just take the idiots down."

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.
Humanity's capacity for stupidity never ceases to amaze me. "Hey, I'm going to run at a semi-famous person with a weapon!" I'm not even sure what they think the best possible outcome of that scenario would be.

He probably should have passed on Highlander 2. I'm just sayin'...

Really, the first movie and the middle seasons of the TV show are the only parts of the Highlander franchise that are any good. Even Methos couldn't save the post-TV movies.

It didn't help that he randomly disappeared from that the middle of that last one without explanation, IIRC.
