FayJay - not a spoiler, in Angel 1
Y'know, I was all over the Lorne/Angel last season - I'd kind of forgotten that. But they were very sweet and parental, and I pretty much wanted Angel to get over his silly Cordy idea (clearly a pink herring if ever there was one) and realise that the demon for him was right under his nose - all big & strapping & snarky-with-a-heart-of-gold-and-accessories-to-match.

Oooh! Me? Blimey. Just skipping over from Angel to deposit Matt's giggle-inducing take on the nature/nurture debate:
I figure Connor would take after whoever spent the most time with him. That being Holtz, his dominant personality characteristics seem to be cold hatred and holding on to pain, but it could have been showtunes appreciation and a flair for glossy fabrics if things had worked out differently.
Betsy in Literary:
Well, it's a problem. Because I can't throw away books. It's just Wrong. But I have no idea how one gets rid of bad erotica.
Wait, I'm in the Bay Area. There's probably a charity that does pickup. "Porn for the Homeless! Leave your books on the stoop in a plain brown wrapper!"
Betsy Hanes Perry: I once cast textbooks on a fire and danced widdershins about it with some friends, but that was a strictly private event.
Betsy has the most fascinating book disposal processes.
Trudy to Elena in Bitches:
We mix and mingle here in the land of the free and the home of the brave. Go eat some moose cock and leave me alone.
Context? We don't need no stinking context!
Rebecca Lizard:
I'm all about flogging the dead animals. I want to keep talking until I understand everything.
In NATTER:
Betsy: Meanwhile, the iron chefs are coping with live octopus, one of which was trying to clim out of the pot.
billytea - "Meanwhile, the iron chefs are coping with live octopus, one of which was trying to clim out of the pot." I'm rooting for the octopus.
Betsy: Too late. Another one just got pounded to death with a daikon. Vegetable snuff porn!
billytea : "Too late. Another one just got pounded to death with a daikon." They had daikons? So much for Queensberry Rules. (Though now I read again, I note that you don't actually specify whether it was cepholopod or chef on the receiving end... I rather like the idea of a multi-tentacled McGyver, fighting his way to freedom with whatever he finds seasoning the pot with him.)
And, rounding out the octopus saga:
Cindy: Off the subject, but still on food - does anyone have a good Blueberry muffin recipe?
Billytea: That depends. Are you averse to octopus?

'twasn't me asking. I was the one suggesting good old midwestern down-home Jiffy box mixes.
