Oh no, because I've never heard the real thing, my little Plei voice is sort of breathy, but still very smooth and...
perhaps I've said too much?
I, for one, wasn't looking forward to starting my day with a slaughter. Which, really, just goes to show how much I've grown

Thanks for all the fish.
In Firefly, MechaKrelboyne explains it all.
Oh, Star Trek. To me Trek has become like those guys who were your very best friends in Seventh Grade. You share a lot of ideas and humor, and are comfortable with each others company, but then you look around and realize that you're ducking calls because it's fifteen years later and they're still stuck on 'We can't interfere' for ideas, and 'The alien's drinking prune juice. HA! Didn't see that coming' for humor.
Now Star Wars is more like your friend from seventh grade who you hadn't seen in years, and you're all excited to see, and then are immensly let down because they're walking down the street in tearaway parachute pants telling everyone to talk to their hands ... TOTHE EXTREME! NOT! And so on, while Space 1999 looks on in utter disgust.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
shrift, in Natter:
I love pirates. I was the goofball in the audience loving the gay swashbuckling, and occasionally blurting out things like, "Ooh! Did you see that chain shot splinter the mainmast?"
We at Chez Shrift are generally in favor of things that allow us to ponder grog and the etymology of marooning. When these things also involve Johnny Depp wearing eyeliner and wet Orlando Bloom, we at Chez Shrift will then declare such a thing both Right and Good.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear
Apropos of nothing, y'all scare the crap outta me.

Emlah, in UnAmerican:
Squeeeeee!!! New Buffy after FIVE FREAKING WEEKS. That requires a large-scale Dance of Joy featuring all Australian Buffy fans, hippos in tutus, cute gymnast boys in glittery hotpants, a llama, the theme from a Summer Place (sung by Jasper from The Simpsons) and a feather boa.

Thanks to Matt the Bruins Fan in Spoilers (but not a spoiler)...
At the End of Days Starfury convention, [they showed] a video from Joss to the fans that featured a spoof Season 5 writer's whiteboard:
“Numfar = Sexy”
“Angel not brooding enough”
“Show not gay enough, more ballet!”
“Hand puppets”
“KILL WESLEY!”

A fellow makes himself conspicuous when he throws soft-boiled eggs at the electric fan.
In Music:
Katie M. : if someone describes their music as "gypsy jazz" does that actually mean anything? I just saw this band at a festival today that used that descriptor, and it confused me.
Gandalfe: Maybe they steal children and force them to learn to play the trombone?
Sorry for breaking COMM there for a minute. Not that I don't think the entire Music thread is COMMable, but ...

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs
NoiseDesign: Not sure about the Hawaiian shirt thing. I just throw the parties, I don't try to explain them.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.
Raquel once again in Movies:
But it's England. Killing people until you starve to death sounds like a reasonable alternative to eating the food.
