Buffistas

Illyria: We cling to what is gone. Is there anything in this life but grief? Wesley: There's love. There's hope...for some. There's hope that you'll find something worthy...that your life will lead you to some joy...that after everything...you can still be surprised. Illyria: Is that enough? Is that enough to live on?

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

What exactly is trainspotting? After watching the movie, I would have expected it to mean doing a lot of heroin.

Trainspotting, originally, is just as the name suggests - a hobby of hanging around near tracks and recording which trains you see. One site informs me that it came to mean shooting up because of a railway yard in Leith commonly used by heroin addicts. Thanks to the location, the local joke had it that they were trainspotting.

Thank you David.

If you were here right now, I'd kiss you. I can save it up for next weekend.

And thank you billytea. Maybe I won't blow up Australia after all.

(Okay, maybe just this tiny corner over here... ::BOOM::)

Didn't you see that picture of the electrified zones of the world taken from outer space? There's a thin ring of civilization on the outer edge of Australia and a vast wasteland in the middle. Which contains their capitol, I think. You could blow up four-fifths of Australia and not hit a single human.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

It's like Canada, but upside down.

It's like Canada with marsupials.

As a native of said capital, I'll thank you to keep your Yankee geography to yourself.

He might not think creeping exploitation of every square inch of his country is a good thing.
