Now if the headline had been "Captain Morgan stops traffic on Triborough bridge"...
Travers: Perhaps you'll favor us with a demonstration while we're here. Buffy: You mean, like, right now? 'Cause, already had my recommended daily dose of fights tonight.

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 would think my uncle had moved up north.

I go to bars way too much since I was expecting an article about a truck carrying the liquor.
Where I grew up, both are so prevalent you kinda have to guess which one people are talking about from context, which isn't very useful when someone's trying to tell you a story about drinking Wild Turkey while hunting wild turkey.

Dan Savage's take on the Ted Haggard thing (which is worth the wait): [link]
Mostly he talks about how this discredits the "ex-gay" movement.
If giving his heart to Jesus couldn't cure Haggard, what hope is there for the likes of me? If Jesus can't be bothered to work a miracle for the most powerful evangelical minister in the country, what "hope" is there for the average dyke?
None.
The ex-gay thing is over. It's dead. It was bullshit from the start, and it's bullshit now. And I will personally track down and bitch-slap the next fundie douche who sends me an e-mail explaining how Jesus can cure me.

What is even happening?
VHS, 30, dies of lonelinessThat was pretty cute. Rest in peace, VHS.
I prefer VHS for kids' stuff. My kids just aren't detail oriented enough to properly care for DVDs.

Earlier today, I was thinking about the days when we'd watch TV shows that had been released on VHS - how if you wanted to watch the second episode on a tape you had to fast-forward through the first episoded. That just seems so weird now....
Oh, and how much friggin' space a season of TV took up on VHS....

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
TV shows on VHS? I never watched any I hadn't put there myself. For some reason I'm imagining they were expensive on VHS. Is that my imagination?

Buffy had little sets on VHS. I think the FE still has mine.
ETA: I just realized that the old FE=Favorite Ex now works for the same person with its original ME meaning FE=First Evil. Dude. I'm prescient.
