Buffistas

You know, I've saved lives. Dozens. Maybe hundreds. I reattached a girl's leg. Her whole leg. She named her hamster after me. I got a hamster. He drops a box of money, he gets a town.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

I was researching this very thing the other night at B&N (It turns out my local B&N shelves the grammar books right next to Erin's book). Sadly, the new-fangled grammar books all seem to think that it is optional. They're all heretics, of course. The one true Word, The Elements of Style, doesn't consider them optional.

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 propose Firefly 2: You Can't Take the Sky From Me.

Seconded, for when the time comes.

I bop to Wittgenstein. -- Nutty

It would be awful of me to suggest: 'Firefly 2: I'm Going Where My Heart Will Take Me' or 'Firefly 2: They're Not Gonna Hold Me Down No More' wouldn't it?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I'm all for "You Can't Take the Sky From Me."

You sip / say it's your crazy / straw say it's you're crazy / as you bicycle your soul / with beauty in your basket

I propose Firefly 2: You Can't Take the Sky From Me.

Please.

Me too! And I've never even seen Firefly, so I'm completely objective.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

You Can't Take The Sky From Me is perfect.

Heh, Am-Chau, I will then insert any missing ones. (Fay doesn't use them, the silly girl)

MS style is very much pro-serial comma.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

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

I propose Firefly 2: You Can't Take the Sky From Me.

Well, I was going to suggest, "Firefly 2: We'll Be in Our Bunks," but I imagine that would be more appropriate.
