Buffy, non-spoilery, and I'm in there but I'm straight line girl. Not to be confused with straight girl. Er. More to the point:
Jen, I think: Spike is William with 100 years of carnage under his belt.
Me: They're not wholly separate beings, and they're very closely entwined, but they are not equal. Spike evolved from William. Spike is related to William, but William is not related to Spike.
BHP: Yes, but are their sides proportional and their angles equal, adding up to 180 degrees?
Daniel: "I am he is you are he is you are me and we are all together." -The Beatles.
BHP: "They all returned from him to you though they were mine before." -Lewis Carroll.
MM: "Yes, we have no bananas" - Really Annoying Song
Elena, Sang Sacre:
When I was six, Santa gifted me with a Fuzzy Pumper Barber Shop. You would fill these little, hollow people with Playdoh, sit them in a barber chair, and turn a crank that forced a plastic cylinder up their asses. This caused the Playdoh to rupture like little spaghetti snakes through the follicles drilled into their heads and gave them 'hair' which you would then cut and/or style as you fancied. Looking back, I can see that it's just a massive metaphor for sexual awakening; but at the time I just liked Playdoh, you know?
Madrigal:
As long as the remarks are about the show, and not stuff like, "Seth Green is such a dum motherfukker he made Willow gay and that made Jesis cry!!!" there's no real need to censor. (And yes, I chose to use SG for the hypothetical in case this does get quoted elsewhere, because he's the one ME guy I'm pretty sure I could take. I mean, he'd totally fit in my dryer, not that I'm planning anything.)
Really, it's "Jesis cry" that puts that Madrigalism over the edge.
("Jesis" began as an actual typo, but when I proofread the post, it just seemed to work better than the correct spelling.)
It's the choice to leave it in, see, that's genius.
After all, it does rhyme with Jesus.

My brain is, for no apparent reason, chanting
"I am from Númenor
I'm marching off to fight a war
I don't know what my cock is for ..."
Not to take anything away from the ever-witty Theo, but that's a common expression 'round these parts (New England).
It's also very common in the midwest, esp by the lakes.
...In lots of places. I grew up on "Scottish weather, if it's boring, wait 10 minutes", which might just go to prove that Scottish weather is at least
faster
than New England weather.
