going back a ways in Angel ...
Bon Bon: But we all know it's a stupidly unsupported argument and shouldn't be given the time of day.
Allyson: Unless one wants to throw rocks at the stupid. And I'm in need of exercise, so, there's that.
Gwen: Demon, OK? The whole nine—cloven feet and horns and teeth. He wasn't wearing lamé though. Lorne: Yeah, the evil ones can't pull it off. It gets camp.

Aimee: Not sure if this was mentioned by the group of zoo goers. But pandas?
Dead.
Well one was dead, one was humping the rock he was sleeping on.
billytea: This is why it's so hard to get them to breed in captivity. They have no energy left after spending all day sleep-humping the furniture.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Tim, in his very own thread:
Okay, some tiny good news -- looks as though 20th is going to go through with "Wonderfalls" DVDs. The folks on the DVD marketing side love the 13 episodes and see great potential. We're talking about extras and commentary and all that good stuff. December/Holiday release was mentioned. I'll keep you updated. (BTW -- a flood of "postcards" was mentioned. We were asked, "that's not your families sending those, is it?" Um. In a *way*...)

And more:
On Tim's mythical Buffy-writing career:
Betsy HP: I especially liked the episode in which Xander killed Willow. It was wrenching, if somewhat homophobic and anti-feminist.
Tim Minear: She knew the risks of the lifestyle going in.

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
Raquel in Natter:
I have also been pondering where Betsy gets these links. My theory is that any powerful and incomprehensible force becomes deified by the culture that it benefits and punishes, and certain members of that culture will feel the call to become an intermediary between the god-thing and the people.

The status is NOT quo.

I'm so OVER being judged on taste by someone who gets kicked and punched in the head for fun.
ita
And this is just more evidence that you can't be trusted.
I've never been kicked in the head. And even if I had, what I do for fun is kick other people. "Other" is such the important word.
billytea
Indeed. Because without it, you're left with "I kick people, possibly including myself". Which doesn't so much say 'martial arts' as it does 'violent uncontrollable leg spasms'.
And now I'm surely going to hell, because I just had an idea for an event at the Special Olympics.

My tagline and life are a work in progress.
Allyson in Minearverse:
It's all very McGyver. "Here's 3 dollars, a case of red bull, the set from Alf, and three crackheads we found behind the House of Pies. Make a television show, and make sure it'll appeal to 18-49 males."

I think scholars should gather to espouse the merits of me. It would be very validating.

What is even happening?
Susan on Motherhood: Oh, and I saw this documentary on feral children that included a comparison of the brains of normal and neglected toddlers. The neglected kids' language centers are actually stunted or absent. And even though I rationally know Annabel is getting all the language exposure she needs just by being a wanted child in a reasonably loving family, I catch myself just pumping her brain full of English every time I'm holding her. Which includes singing my way through the old Baptist Hymnal I salvaged when my high school church got new ones, and reading the Aubrey/Maturin and Hornblower novels to her.
Kid's gonna have an odd and bloody vocabulary.
