Willow: Something evil-crashed to earth in this. Then it broke out and slithered away to do badness.
Giles: Well, in all fairness, we don't really know about the "slithered" part. Anya: No, no, I'm sure it frisked about like a fluffy lamb.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
bon bon, you are cracking me up, because today you are just en fuego. So far in 2007 you are one of my favorite people.
Kat, you make me blush! I will try to uphold the standards I have achieved today for the rest of 2007.

I realize that my previous post was possibly non-sensical. It was about the sweet/non sweet gimlet thing. And then sweet dinner. And whatever.
Still doesn't excuse making jokes about the existence of Today's Papers, the finest news innovation since Doppler 2 million.

Vodka/plain lime juice is not part of the experiment
Can we consider it canonical, then?
You delight in paining me. It's not part of the experiment because I already know it's too sour, and plus IT'S NO GIMLET!

En Fuego, bon bon. I tell you what.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Real estate listings were targeted for overuse of "boast." As in "master bedroom boasts his-and-her fireplaces — never 'bathroom apologizes for cracked linoleum,'" quipped Morris Conklin of Portugal.
