I'd rather stay home and watch television. It's often funnier than killing stuff.

Connie--to give us Unamericans some context, was Matt's remark a rhetorical understatement, ie, was Angel actually incredibly good?

(PS Does everyone know that the rhetorical term for that kind of understatement--ie the opposite of hyperbole--is litotes? Well now you do!)

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

Victor in Angel: Anyone who can give that "I want to give you something real" speech with a straight face has to be evil.

'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"

Angus (which is only two letters removed from Angel... hmmmm), you may safely assume Matt was litoting in this case.

Herah, in Bitches:

I now have all the laundry put away. Because I didn't do any today or yesterday.
However, I am not in a panic, because today we only used one pair of underwear per child. I don't have to do laundry in order to dress the kids tomorrow!
(I'm thinking this moment was something to live for. Is that sweet or sad?)

It's also two letters short of "Angelus", incidentally. So don't get on my bad side.

Off Allyson's mention of SoCal rain, we get Bronze PBP Natter...

Cashmere:

Allyson, you make me slightly less sad that I won't be coming to LA this weekend.

Allyson:

I'm starting to think twice about the whole thing, myself. So many people I want to punch in the head, so few knuckles to break.

EDITORIAL DISCLAIMER: This may only be funny for Buffistas who were Bronzers, but I couldn't resist because it's very funny for Buffistas who were Bronzers.

Aimee, in Natter:

At work, we all have earthquake fanny packs. They have a cube of water in them. Not kidding. Mine had a protein bar, too but one day I was hungry and had no money.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

kat perez, in Natter:

Last night I was watching the urban legends show on MTV hosted by AH just before I went to bed. Then I had a dream that the Scoobs were going to the prom as chaperones for Dawn and all the other protos. Buffy was wearing a beautiful peach dress, Xander was in his 007 spy garb from Fear, Itself and Willow was wearing jeans and a peasant blouse and no shoes (this is what AH wore to host the MTV show). So they all got ready to leave, but they wouldn't let Spike go. They locked him in the attic just like Cinderella and left. And then Spike used the curtains from the attic window to make himself a zoot suit, just like in that Tom and Jerry cartoon where Tom makes the yellow zoot suit to win the affection of the little white cat with the red bow in her hair. Remember that one? Well, Spike made himself a yellow zoot suit just like that. He broke out of the attic and went to the prom, which was being held in Grand Central Station. And he kept saying things like "Areet" and "Slip me some skin". And then he started dancing with barefoot AH.

The moral: don't watch MTV before bedtime.

Nutty:

I mean, Jesus never threw Pontius Pilate down a flight of stairs.

It would have been kind of cool if he had done, but then we would not call him Prince of Peace.
