Am -- I just watched an ep of M*A*S*H, which reminded me that Hawkeye often does a lot of punning. Many of them do, but he often starts it and others pun off of his initial pun. Might be something you could work in, somewhere.
You know what the chain of command is? It's the chain I go get and beat you with until you understand who's in ruttin' command here.

How are you me? You need to stop that. Only I can be me. ~Kara

Thanks for all the fish.
You know what? I've become obsessed with the idea of an anthology show done in fan fic. So people might write about Xander as a 10 year old or a 50 year old; Anya's adventures in vengeance, or her adjusting to life after BtVS; Ripper in London or Giles at the British Museum; past or future Slayers; past or future Vampires; Spike and Dru in Prague (though, really, Fay's 'Sick Rose' takes care of all that); Wes at the Watchers' Academy; Faith in jail. The possibilities are endless. It would make a great web site, I think.
(on edit) But done within a framework, so they all sort of fit together. Be it by length or with a narrator (hello, Andrew).

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.
Show? Video, or - what?
Elena, you tease. That idea is pulse-race-making.

deb, I know! It kept me up last night. It would be like virtual episodes!

Do I get to film Amanda, then? With Rupert, both present and teenaged?
(mentally casting)

Thanks for all the fish.
Well, it would be dandy (and you know, I was thinking about your fic for this) if we could actually film... You know, it might be fun to write it, well, not so much as a screenplay, but to have the cast list, including actors, at the beginning of the story. It would be no problem to have young ASH or old NB playing the roles.
So, who would be Giles Sr, and who would be Amanda and who would be Amanda pere?

Hmmmmm. This one I'd have to give some thought to - the casting, she is not quite so easy, although physically, at least, that exquisite child who plays Hermione in the Harry Potter films would work for her as a teenager.
Young ASH? Oh my (fanning self.....)
Richard, that's a damned good question. He'd have to be tall, bony, thin-lipped and darkly contained, in his mid to late forties.

Thanks for all the fish.
Terrance Stamp? Because he could be ASH's father.
Listen, though, you are not constrained by time nor space. You want to cast Cary Grant circa 1944? Go right ahead.

Basil Rathbone, c 1935 or so as Richard Giles? Or Rex Harrison....
I do like Terence Stamp. And he plays thin-lipped, don't-fuck-with-me superbly, although I don't think of him as that - constipated.
Brain draining with tired. I'll think more tomorrow, I'm purely keeling over.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Christopher Plummer as Richard? He does look-down-his-nose-at-an-insect very well. In fact, he and ASH share a lot of facial mannerisms.
