Nobody

Allyson in Buffy 1:

Agreed. I want it to end on a note of passion, tragedy, pain, and snark. Leave me with pretty memories, so that I'll really miss our girl, and speak of her fondly. I don't want to be in some lame bar a year from now talking about how she broke my heart and slept with my best friend and drained my bank account. I'll sit there, bemoaning the injustice, swearing off Slayers for good, drinking bitter ale to match my bitter heart. It'll be pathetic, especially since you can't smoke in LA bars to add that noir effect.

with a gleam in my eye, and an almost airtight alibi

Billytea, in Buffy, with a musical critique I'd never considered before:

Seriously: you're in the desert for three days? Nothing else going on? Name the stinkin' horse.

"I keep to a strict diet of ill-advised enthusiasm and heartfelt regret." Leigh Bardugo

From Firefly - dunno who said the first half of exchange:

Victor Infante: My Kaylee love needs no justification.

Billytea: Apparently, it barely needs a room either.

I was charmed (albeit somewhat perplexed) by the fannish sensibility of many of the music choices -- it's like the director was trying to vid Canada. --loligo on the Olympic Opening Ceremonies

I think it was Victor.

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.

Yep. It was me.

Thanks! It's fixed.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

Steph:

Oh, Cary Grant. He invented foamy.

love's a dream you enter though I shake and shake and shake you

Caroma:

I do have to say that the main thing that strikes me about Inara is--well--she seems to be a total male fantasy.

billytea:

Yeah, she is a bit. Except possibly the part where she gets to choose whether she'll have sex with you.

You've got friends to have good times with. When you need to share the trauma of a badly-written book with someone, that's when you go to family.

Billytea, in Natter, on the etymology of "avocado":

I do rather like the idea of it arising from a conversation something like this:

"What'd the Spaniard say?"

"He wants to know what 'ahuacatl' means."

"Um... It's the fruit. He's holding one, fer crying out loud. Is he retarded or something?"

"No, he wants to know if it means anything else."

"So... 'It's a fruit' isn't good enough for him? (Sigh) These guys are crazy, you know that? ...Ok, look, tell him it's our word for goolies. That oughta shut him up. Man, Axtacla's going to get a laugh out of this..."

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Steph, in Natter:

I have to say, working out to Jaws is a little disturbing.
