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.
In Natter:
Santa is Republican.
CASHMERE: I'm going to make sure my kids don't believe in them, either.
I didn't realize when I read this thread that erikaj's
It's crap, but it lasts forever. It's the American way.
was in reference to Twinkies until I ran across it in Natter. Then there was this from billytea:
I do so love that the only consumer products not designed these days to need replacing just after the warranty expires are the foodstuffs.
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.
