"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.

Turducken is dead bird concentrate.
In B'cy, about WX going paid:
Your free limited subscription still entitles you to many of the features you've come to enjoy about World Crossing. You will be able to post ten times per day, read all you want, have your own forum, and there will be ads.
DXMachina: So, the massive outages will continue, then?
ita in Natter (because it's just great advice to give someone for any reason, I think):
I say you should skip like a Manservant in a dirndl.
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?

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.

I don't think I want to be there when the bottom falls out of the dancing girl market.
DavidS:
Dancing girls devalue over time, I think. Unless they're gold-dipped.
Calli, in Boxed Set:
I'm inclined to differentiate between "pretty" and "hot", too, but I get all sets and subsets about it. There's hot (Johnny Depp today). You can have hot and pretty (Orlando Bloom). You can have hot and not pretty (Peter Wingfield). You can also have pretty and not hot (young Brad Pitt -- yes, I know opinions vary, but he never tripped my trigger). And, of course, you can have not pretty and not hot (Mojo-Jojo).
