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.
Illyria: We cling to what is gone. Is there anything in this life but grief? Wesley: There's love. There's hope...for some. There's hope that you'll find something worthy...that your life will lead you to some joy...that after everything...you can still be surprised. Illyria: Is that enough? Is that enough to live on?

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.

Swouncing
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!

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
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.

If I only had a brain...
Me:
What is WITH Lush, anyway? They've been discontinuing stuff like drunken sailors.
Jacqueline: imagines a 17th-18th century island tavernkeeper and his wife shaking their heads and saying, "Ah, inn's right tore up now, aye, but 'tis nothing to the visit of Captain Jack in aught three. Hadn't been ashore in nigh six months, an' 'steeth, but his men went wild. Threw a bath bomb through the Lord Sheriff's window, salt scrubbed all the tavern wenches, tore through Lush and discontinued all the glitter, all the lavender, all the ginger. Never seen nothin' like it afore, never hope to see the like again."

To every idea a shelf...
In a discussion of tear-jerking Buffy moments...
Cindy:
Dear Santa (aka Father Christmas),
Please disregard the horribly wrong statements by UTTAD, Matt, and brenda. They really aren't on drugs. It's the heat and the humidity. They love the class protector award scene; they just done had their brains melted.
Love,
The Buffistas
Steph L.: The REAL reason we don't get a season 8 of Buffy? Joss heard what UTTAD, Matt, and brenda said, and he got pissed, took his jump rope, and went home.
Ken Buddha: Also, it made the baby Jesus cry. And write Little House slash. It doesn't get much worse. maybe Smurf/My Little Pony

maybe Smurf/My Little Pony.
Oh God, my eyes! My eyes! Though really, I should have known once I heard about the Lego Porn that those little blue excuses for a children's cartoon were going to start causing trouble.

Ficht nicht mit Der Raketemensch!
Natter, but the Two Towers are Barad-dur and orthanc. The whole book is about the journeys to those towers.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

RE: The Two Towers DVD....
Astarte: Went out and got mine tonight.
I've watched all the special features, and licked the cover...
Not necessarily in that order.
