I do get thrown out of the story whenever Buffy says Dawn
You mean by having to say "She has a brother called Don? I thought she had a sister called ... oh."
Yeah, I could do that, but I'm paralyzed with not caring very much.

Is that Narrative Causality or Historical Imperative or just plain weird?
Hi John! That is exactly what I mean. I should have learnt that lesson by now, but nooo, for a split second I'm still scanning the screen going "Don? Where?"

I did actually have a reason for coming in here, before the shiny discussion distracted me. So, I just wanted to say a big fat thanks to all the lovely people who emailed, messaged, and posted their good wishes for my injured friends, it was a great comfort to me. The Buffistas are the best friends ever! *huggy smooches* Trin and My Boy are doing much better, and have both been released from hospital. Michael has to return often for outpatient treatment, but at the moment is just so blissed out to be home that he's handling it all well. Yay healing!
Back to the Saturday evening alcohol, away!

That's great news, Min!
I have had difficulty understanding SMG at times, but that's just because she sometimes talks so quickly! Also don't get some of the Americanisms. One sentence of which I could only understand the first two words until I read the transcript was "It's like cotillion with spiked punch and electric slide".

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

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
It's kinda funny to read of all the difficulty with the Americanisms & American accents.

OK I'll bite, what the hell does "electric slide" mean?

Oh, and when Jim posted this:
Angus - Refugee camp address above.
I think he fell foul of the many weirdnesses of WX URLs.
might work better. The old "eleven after the questionmark instead of thirteen" problem, eh?

I was charmed (albeit somewhat perplexed) by the fannish sensibility of many of the music choices -- it's like the director was trying to vid Canada. --loligo on the Olympic Opening Ceremonies
It's a group dance often done at weddings. Well, not so much anymore - it was big in the 80s. Sort of like the macarena, but not quite as bad.
