Cutting English muffins (at least the American ones) with a knife is a no-no. You need to split them with a fork, then you'll ge the nooks and crannies.
I'm so evil and... skanky. And I think I'm kinda gay.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

To confuse things further, crumpets rather remind me of pancakes, if pancakes were made in rings.
this is confusing since the crumpets I know and love don't have holes in the middle.

Crumpets are cooked on a griddle by pouring batter into a metal ring. That's the ring. The crumpet itself is not ring-shaped.

Ah, thank you David. I was so confused, because you can see the holes in the crumpets right on the page Megan linked. The other kind of "hole in the middle" didn't even occur to me.

I should remember not to post so early in the morning. I was confuse-ed. Thanks for clearing that up.

Ah, if people are going to discuss the Angel finale I need to unsubscribe! Through no-one's fault but my own I haven't seen it yet...(and won't until Tuesday).
Oops, sorry! I just assumed people had seen it since there were no "Oh my freaking god I missed it!" posts. I'm glad I didn't post anything too spoilery.
Tonight is the penultimate Buffy. I can hardly believe it. In a week and a handful of hours it will truly be over.

Strawberry disappointment.
There was an episode of ... I want to say The Goodies but I'm not 100% certain ... where the characters had a running argument of, "scone (bone)" "scone (gone)". So, as has already been noted, Giles' pronunciation of the word was not incorrect per sé.
Yup, it was an episode of The Goodies. I believe it ended with a sort of Bun Fight at the Ok Tearoom, or some such.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

And a song. You can't forget the song. ...Ok, I've forgotten the song. Except the line about Graeme and "his pair of big red squirters". Make of that what you will.

Okay, End of Days? I loved almost everything about it.
I can't believe that there are only, like, 43 minutes of Buffy left EVER. So much stuff I want to happen, not enough time. Gah. This time next week it will all be over. I'm all red in the face and I'm crackling with nervous energy. I don't want their story to be over. I don't want to stop visiting this world, these people. I try to be practical, thinking about casting and networks and the nature of fiction and movie careers and potential shark jumping, but it doesn't alleviate this feeling of loss, like a close friend is moving away and doesn't want to stay in touch with me any more.
ETA: Americans have been dealing with this feeling for, what, 2 months? Has it sunk in yet? When would the new season usually be starting?
