Connie--excellent, glad it arrived in one piece.
Anyway, some of it is vintage music! It goes back as far as 1990, for heaven's sake! In dance music terms, that's like the baroque period.
Don't you have an elsewhere to be?

Does anyone else find the title of this thread slightly offensive? Because I do.

Zoe, it's from BtVS season 5 episode, "Tough Love" quote:
ANYA: Well, that's right, foreigner. So I've been reading a lot about the good ol' us of A (she says "us" not "U.S."), embracing the extraordinarily precious ideology that's helped to shape and define it.
WILLOW: Democracy?
ANYA: Capitalism. The free market depends on the profitable exchange of goods for currency. It's a system of symbiotic beauty apparently lost on these old people. Look at 'em. Perusing the shelves. Undressing the merchandise with their eyeballs all ogle, no cash. It's not just annoying, it's unAmerican.

Anya has both context and better delivery.

And it was suggested as a thread title by an Unamerican, I'm pretty sure, if that helps, Zoe.

To be honest it's not my favourite thread title either, although I'm not offended by it as such. But maybe we should compensate by giving the next thread a title that's offensive to Americans.

I think (though I'd have to check) that it's my title. "UnAmerican Buffistas" certainly is. Frankly, I don't care how the colonials refer to us, though.

It may be a while before we need a new thread title- given that this thread's pretty slow moving for a Buffistas thread. But I agree this thread title isn't my favourite.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Hey! Colonial and UnAmerican here.
Careful how you wield that us.
