amych writes in response to an 'identity protected for her own good' fanfic writer:
"Albus runs away from his heart to Paris but his heart follows him."
In my stubbornly literal mental picture, it's kind of shuffle-hopping along behind him, making moist little squishy-squelchy noises at every hop, and picking up bits of road grime and dropped pigeon feathers as it goes along. Every once in a while it has to stop to catch its breath, because it's hard going, trying to catch up when you're shuffle-hopping and squelching along without legs.

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

If I only had a brain...
Oh, do the whole thing.
The Buffistas contemplate the economics of dancing girls.
Nutty:
One option is to invest in something like gold or canned peas or dancing girls that remain valuable whether or not the currency is worth more than toilet paper. But I don't know where I would fit gold in my apartment, and the dancing girls would totally colonize my tiny tiny bathroom, and I don't like canned peas.

Speculating in dancing girls is tricky -- there are so many dances, you know?
Rick
I think that it is important for Buffistas to help other Buffistas in their time of need. With this in mind, I volunteer to keep some of Nutty's dancing girls at my house until she has room for them.

Dude, those could totally end up being dancehall queens. You need to examine the currency before accepting it.

Dancing girls devalue over time, I think. Unless they're gold-dipped.
