Laura speaks the truth, Angus. The official Buffy magazine put two huge ass spoilers on its cover a couple of months ago, and then the newstands all decided to put that issue right out front on their racks where you couldn't possibly miss it.
Mal: Go on. Get in there. Give your brother a thrashing for messing up your plan. River: He takes so much looking after.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

No other candidate is asking the hard questions, like "Did geophysicists assassinate Jim Henson?" or "Why is there hydrogen in America's water supply?" --defective yeti

Unfortunately the profanisaurus isn't a reflection of real slang. It's a place where slang comes from. Jo Guest is/was a Page 3 Stunna.
The best profanisaurus entry is "Crafty Butcher: On who takes his meat round the back".

Jim, can't wait for the next batch of tapes! (I only just skimmed the spoilers, honest....). I've still got the first part of the 2-parter waiting to be watched as well.
When did you send out the last batch? Nothing arrived here yet.
