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

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Madrigal, in Goodbye 2003 on package deliveries:
Still, I probably would have had better results using the Pony Express, which nowadays is probably just some crazy guy with a clydesdale who's really into putting maps to use, but he's got a great work ethic, always delivers the package, and accepts payment in cheap ale and poorly knitted balaklavas.

Matt the Bruins fan: Or, if you want to give back some of what you've been getting and drive the family's average blood pressure up over 300, there's always the opting to travel cross-country for an indecent proprosal from a gay redneck rather than attend the family Christmas. I think it wouldn't be too difficult to find a volunteer.

If people wanted to spend $1000 to hang with you, would you take it? Keep it?

If I could get 30 people to spend $1000 to hang out with me, I'd spend half of it on bills and half on my students -- like on as many books as I could tote.
If I could get 500 people to spend $1000 I'd either spend it on starting a charter school (cause I'm figuring I would have to do something renumerative to entice enough people to want to pay that). If I wasn't doing something renumerative, then I'd spend the money on a house.
Mainly cause, I'm assuming James Marsters is good for money.

I would not pay $1,000 to hang out with Jesus and get his direct personal pager number. But if you have the grand, I suppose you do whatever makes you feel good with it. I won't charge y'all anything to hang out with me, even though according to the quiz I'm a NY Trendsetter.
P.M. Marcontell
I'd hide in my room and never come out.
But that's my thing.

If thirty people wanted to pay $1000 to hang out with me, I'd spend a lot of time saying "I'm not having sex with you! I don't know how to have $1000 of sex!"
So they need to pay up front.

MechaKreylboyne posting secret message in Atlantic Canadians
So I'm looking at the rather mysterious message I've recieved in the post. Is it a warning of some sort? A threat? A request for aid? Only one way to know ...
t Rolls D20 ... gets 20.
Dammit. Never on a strike roll, always the way.
t Santa ATTACKS, with Claw/Claw/Cheerfulness, doing 37 points of damage, and forcing a saving throw vs Christmas Spirit, which is passed.
t two Reindeer ATTACK, each with Hoof/Hoof/Antler, doing a total of 11 points of damage.
t Rudolph ATTACKS with Hoof/Hoof/Shiny Red Nose, doing no damage, but forcing a saving throw v. Blindness, which is passed. This will end badly.

Fred Pete: I just realized that a lot of us have phrased our taglines in the form of a question. (Look at the 6420s of this thread for some examples. And my tag for another.)
If I were pretentious, I'd write a long, rambling post about how this trend symbolizes the Buffista search for meaning in an increasingly uncertain world.
Instead, I'll just say, "Huh."

Matt the Bruins Fan in Angel Spoilers, not spoilery in the main (unless you don't know how Matt feels about DB):
whitefonted part is the only thing that may be current-season spoilery for the most spoiler-sensitive.
Isn't he the best celebrity ever? Great discovery story, developed from wooden acting to a nuanced multi-faceted performance, looks like that, does 80% of his own fight scenes, happily plays up the HoYay! without a peep of complaint, very vocally respectful of his folks, fan-friendly, plays celebrity hockey, drops non-sequiturs constantly, and dresses like a demented circus clown... it's like I had him made to order!

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand
Erin, given "Innocence," "First Impressions," "Couplet," and most especially "Dead End" and "Carpe Noctem," I don't think the whitefonted sentence is especially indicative of this season. ;-)
