I believe that we will take the non-sinking sheep of love and will go far away to the ocean...

Laura, in Buffy (not spoily)

I am completely comfortable with the level of obsession that allows me to watch and post tonight despite having already watched the episode twice yesterday.

My children know that life is more pleasant if mom is not disturbed during Buffy. They will be home from soccer practice about 8:30 and will quietly bathe and change for bed. Or else.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

Katie M:

I'm told that I discovered Santa was a fake indepently at a young age - I don't remember this, but I don't ever remember believing in Santa so it must be so - by asking the mall Santa for a gift that I didn't ask my parents for and waiting to see if the gift that I only asked the dressed-up Santa for appeared. Which it did not.

You'd think I'd've made a good research scientist, but I grew up and discovered it annoyed me.

Madrigal:

There's vegan jerky in the US. I don't think it's meant for eating so much as using an excuse to practice expressions of disbelief.

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

when you watch a guy configure Windows Explorer just like you do, it's hard not to be a little turned on.

All is well that ends in pizza.

Caroma, In Firefly:

I will NOT watch the Buffy until I balance my checkbook. I will NOT watch the Buffy until I balance my checkbook. I will NOT watch...

Aw, screw it. See ya in an hour.

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

In Natter:

Santa is Republican.

CASHMERE: I'm going to make sure my kids don't believe in them, either.

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

It's crap, but it lasts forever. It's the American way.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Jen in Buffy 2 (spoilery):

I'm having the same problem that Vezzini thought Westley would have during the iocane powder goblet incident. I want to believe that suggesting Giles is dead/FE-controlled is obvious enough to be a mislead, but then I think ME knows that I would think that it's a mislead and make it not a mislead... Lather, rinse, repeat.

Madrigal on sentimental holiday beliefs:

Finding out that Santa definitely wasn't real was a relief to me. It was disconcerting to think about that much power being in the hands of the guys who spent afternoons at the mall holding kids on their laps, passing out pamphlets and smelling like sour whiskey. As for the Easter Bunny, I thought that he was actually Jesus, but because Jesus is supposed to stay in Heaven unless the world is ending, we had to pretend that it was this giant bunny so that God wouldn't get pissed off.
