Angel: You know, I killed my actual dad. It was one of the first things I did when I became a vampire. Wesley: I hardly see how that's the same situation. Angel: Yeah. I didn't really think that one through.

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.

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 mean, it's not like they're trying to get him to show the first 20 minutes of the movie at the end instead.

Right?

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.

ita

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.

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).

Thank you, Tim, for helping to create something so cool. You did such a good job with that show, that I can't wait to see more of the characters that you helped develop, and how they will die. Sincerely, etc.
