Lindsey: Why--why did you... Lorne: One last job. You're not part of the solution, Lindsey. You never will be. Lindsey: You kill me? A flunky?! I'm not just...Angel...kills me. You...Angel... Lorne: Good night, folks.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
The Angel version has Stirring Pot dancing (I'm sorry, I don't know the real name, I learnt it off Ricki Lake)
That would be the Cabbage Patch Dance I think. Can I get ruling by Jesse?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Um, yeah, sounds like the Cabbage Patch.

Is that Narrative Causality or Historical Imperative or just plain weird?
curtsies at Betsy and swings her around the thread, googles Cabbage Patch
Yep, that's the one. Technically it's only performed when I predict something and it happens, and then I bounce around being smug and obnoxious. Though I'm sticking with my name for it, because cabbage patch? Why? This is one of those Confuse the UnAmericans things, isn't it?
I will resist Natter until I finish grading, I will.

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.

Heh. When I played Claudio in Much Ado About Nothing, we used to cabbage patch backstage at rehearsals and shout, "Whoop! There it Doth!"
Ahem.

Ficht nicht mit Der Raketemensch!
OK, I'm officially jonesing. God, these shows rule all. Still unsure about Firefly, but I was right about it being Blake's 7. Only with no Avon

I think it was named after the Cabbage Patch Kids dolls that were popular back when. Why? I don't know. It is the generic dance of mildly obnoxious celebration.

Oh Victor, my friends are going to strangle you for putting "Whoop! There it doth!" in my head. Luckily they're geek enough to enjoy it the first few times.
Now I'm all curious to see if Jim follows the Buffista path of Firefly love. "Ok. Oooh. Yay! WOO!"
Oh! Cabbage Patch Kids, I vaguely remember them, though I think I was a little too young to actually want one. Freaky chubby toys with a permanent smirk/grimace and bright hair?
10 more papers to go, to go. 10 more papers to gooooo.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
Freaky chubby toys with a permanent smirk/grimace and bright hair?
Yep. The hair was made out of yarn until sometime in the late eighties when they started making some with regular doll hair. They hit really big in 1983, and it was one of those impossible-to-get toys because they weren't making nearly enough to keep up with the demand. My mother managed to pull some strings, I have no idea how, and bought two for my sister and me several months before almost any of our friends were able to get them. When she brought them home, they weren't even in the display boxes; they were still in the cardboard shipping boxes. I was almost three then, and I took mine everywhere with me, and suddenly all the "Oh, what an adorable baby!" comments to my mother switched to "Where did you get that doll?"

'And on that tragic day, an era came to its inevitable end.'
That's all there is.
Ok good news first. Today's (November 21) Media section in The Australian has an article mentioning BtVSwith a picture of DarkMagic Willow.
