Deb, cracking my shit up...
I'm still, after all these years, trying to wrap my head around an American university called "no-ter Dame", long A. Huh? You spell it the same as the cathedral which, trust me, aint pronounced that way.
And I keep envisioning that Dame in question in the high heavens, peering down at the school and shaking her fist and yelling "IDIOTS!"
It has been corrected, Perkins!
Buffista I have forgotten: Keanu. Playing Constantine.
Steph: Whoa.
Katie M: When I was little, I spent half a year refusing to acknowledge the existence of the letter w. I could see damn well that it was an upside-down m, and no one was going to fool me with that one.
It's actually an entry in my baby book: "Katie acknowledges existence of w!!"
"Buffista I have forgotten" = Victor Infante.
"Buffista I have forgotten" = Victor Infante.
Yeah. And my next words were, "kill me."
DXMachina, context is probably self evident:
Makes no nevermind to me if we discuss country artists I've never heard of, or indie rock artists that I've never heard of.
DX in Press. I want it to go down in Buffista history...
7. We should close and archive Buffy Spoilage Lite as soon as technically possible.
YES: 123*
NO: 0
NO PREFERENCE: 0
(and after)
A total of 123 ballots were cast. Question number 7 may be the first time in recorded history that all Buffistas have been in agreement with each other.
In "Dude":
Nutty: I love how, in the books, Tolkien at no point bothers to clarify which towers he means. Minas Morgul certainly plays a more direct role in the events of the book than Barad-dur. But calling in The Three Towers or even Lots and Lots of Towers would have been kind of awkward.
DXMachina: I suppose that JRRT could have gone in a Monty Pythony direction:
The Two Towers are Barad-Dur and Orthanc... and Minas Morgul... The Three Towers are Barad-Dur, Orthanc, and Minas Morgul... and Minas Tirith... The Four Towers...
Jess PMoon: Stop reading my mind!
DXMachina: <Throws cover over palantir... >
Nilly: Whenever we named pets, we tried to make the names as long and complicated as possible. You could probably track a lot of my reading at the time through the names of the little birds-in-a-cage that were 'born' at our home.
