Nora, should you add the context that my cat is named Shadow, short for Moonshadow?
Stop means no. And no means no. So . . . stop.

If I only had a brain...

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
Steph L: Heh. Just like any American soap opera (or, for all I know, foreign ones, too): a tiny town has, in any given combination, a major trauma-level hospital, an international airport, a barrio/ghetto/Chinatown/other ethnic neighborhood, a waterfront, a train station, a world-class spa, and at least three 4-star restaurants.
Sunnydale is lagging behind Port Charles, frankly...

Pretty angsty boys make everything better.

I think you underestimate how hard it is for a vision-impaired demon to get quality footwear....

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.
From DavidS, in Natter:
Emmett and David discuss Philology
Emmett: [referencing something he heard on TV] What's genus? Me: It's a way to classify animals. There's order and phylum and genus, like that. Just ways to figure out which ways animals are most closely related. Like, you are very closely related to a chimpanzee. Emmett: [shocked look on his face] Seriously? Even my Mom? Me: Uh...not that kind of related. You have no monkey uncles.
Also...
Emmett: I can spell Mississippi! M-I-S-S-I-S-S-I-P-P-I! Me: Excellent.... Emmett: And I can spell Mossossoppo! M-O-S-S-O-S-S-O-P-P-O!
Finally...
Me: I heard a lot of splashing in the tub. I hope you didn't get water all over. Emmett: I splashed a little [as I enter the bathroom]. Am I off the hook? What's the hook anyway? Is it like in hangman? I'm on the hangman hook! Am I off it?

'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"
Betsy in Buffy (nonspoilerly):
Buffy should know by now that doomed tragic loves for unavailable vampires can only lead to spinoffs.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear
Matt, not spoilery, in Angel:
Marcus seemed surprised that Angel had lasted more than 200 years with so little visible scarring, so he's apparently better at healing than most. Then again, considering that he's swan dived from a multi-story building and gotten caught in a grenade blast fundamentally unharmed, perhaps it's just his sometimes cartoonish personality protecting him from the laws of physics...

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
In Bitches:
Aimee:Why oh why did El Nino pick this weekend to show her ugly, wet face.
Juliana:It's the FE?
Aimee:Damned FE. When did the motto change to "From above, it will drown you."

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Sophia Brooks, in Natter:
In other news, I could not get on the internet from home all morning and I had gotten up early to read the messages in Buffy. I watched my tape of the Gilmore Girls instead. And I really want a Luke. Except, I am much more like Luke than Lorelai, so maybe I want to have a Lorelai? Hmmm. And Rory's hair was very odd and unbecoming.
AND while walking in from the parking lot with my coffee, I was crossing on of the campus roads, stapped on a manhole cover and fell really hard on my knees, spilling coffee everywhere. A lady from the upstairs had to help me up. I of course fell INTO the coffee. And I was very embarrassed because I was wearing socks on my hands because I couldn't find my mittens.
I guess I am more like Lorelai than Luke after all. But I am cranky.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Miracleman: I guess the secret is out. Peter Jackson did not direct The Two Towers. He was CG'ed in and voiced by Andy Serkis.

Swouncing
And Phill answers:
Not only that, MM, but none of the audiences were real either. All CGI. I thought they did a great job, I felt like I really saw the movie.
