BetsyHP, or actually her daughter:
Alternate Season 5 climax, as drawn by my daughter: The Tower
Buffy (climbs tower): *hup hup hup hup*
Dawn is chained at top of tower. Glory: "Hi, Buffy!" Buffy ("dramatic pose"): "Glory! You're evil! And a bad villain!"
Dawn: "Yea!"
Glory (haloed): "Good golly gosh! You're right! I shall stop now!"
Buffy: "Yea!"
Glory and Buffy, sitting at a table: "Cake!"
Dawn, still chained to tower: "What about me?"
The End.
Cake! How charming.
Well, it's that or death, and they tried that the first time.
Narrator, continuing the driving theme:
Texas drivers are aggressive, insane and armed.
Note to self: Stay out of Texas.
The Massachusetts drivers are armed too, and an RX-7 can be a lot deadlier than a 30-06 in the wrong hands.
Note to self: Stay out of Massachusetts, too.
Utah drivers are unarmed insane idiots with children, so they're OBVIOUSLY the most important people on the road.
Note to self: Well, you were never going there anyway.
Astarte:
I wish I had something more to offer than cyberhugs and a sympathy thwump (hey, that sounds kind of suggestive, doesn't it? Your ponk or mine?) but that will have to do.
billytea:
Y'know, it's really ok. I mean, it hurts, because otherwise I'd feel pretty silly calling it pain. I might call it 'whiffle-bat' or something, and then where would we be? "Oh, woe is me. Share my experience. Feel my whiffle-bat."
Emily:"The damn thing has Krypton in it for Pete's sake, how can it be lacking in cunt?"
(Funnier out of context.)
Catching up in Natter--
Madrigal: I think of all the Beatles except for John have done cameos on "The Simpsons" - and since then George Harrison and Linda McCartney have died, so maybe it wasn't such a safe choice for Ringo. There's quite a number of musicians and singers who've died after appearing on "The Simpsons": Barry White, John Entwistle, Tito Puente, Joey Ramone, Johnny Cash, etc. It's almost as dangerous as being a drummer for Spinal Tap.
DX:
Spinal Tap
Who also appeared on The Simpsons...
