BHP: Well I never claimed they weren't weird.
Willow: Yes. Hi. You must be Angel's handsome, yet androgynous, son. Connor: It's Connor. Willow: And the sneer's genetic. Who knew?

Strawberry disappointment.

Lurching from one disaster to the next.
I made these points earlier, but fine, no one listens to me...
but you didn't make them in here
Hmm. Farm boys are clueless about social taboos. American men can spend a month on the tit. Trudy Booth has pretty big breasts.
Wow, the things you learn at the Phoenix.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love
Just checked the TV section of my local rag and Buffy is listed for 10:30PM next Tuesday, while Angel is listed for 10:30PM next Wednesday. Woo and Hoo!
Thanks, jimi (and Allan)! Is this Channel 7? I guess I'll still have to check Perth listings, but YAY! for getting to see new Buffy soon!
...except, wait--I'm going away next week! I can't believe it. My first chance to see new Buffy since last May--and I'm going down to Margaret River instead.
It better be a damn pretty river.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
Are they not called "the Orkney Islands" any more? Are the Faeroes not caled that either? Hebrides, inner and outer? (And what's the singular of Hebrides?)
See, I am learning stuff too.

If I only had a brain...
Don't ask me, I'm still adjusting to it not being "The Congo" and "The Ukraine" any more.

Er...if it's not the Ukraine, what is it???

The things this explains about "Smallville"...

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
if it's not the Ukraine, what is it???
Ukraine.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
I think "The Ukraine" now wants to be known as "Ukraine". Something about seeming more respectable. I think the Sudan is trying to do teh same thing, except that they're too busy fighting a civil war to correct everybody in the world press.
Same again, Byelorussia is now formally called Belarus. Even though they're basically translations of the same concept, "White Russia".

The claim I heard was that "The Ukraine" makes it sound like a colony rather than a free and independent nation. Same for "The Congo".

Nobody
Hmmmm. Same kind of controversy over "Yukon" versus "the Yukon."
