Wash: So, two days in a hospital? That's awful. Don't you just hate doctors? Simon: Hey. Wash: I mean, present company excluded. Jayne: Let's not be excluding people. That'd be rude.

No other candidate is asking the hard questions, like "Did geophysicists assassinate Jim Henson?" or "Why is there hydrogen in America's water supply?" --defective yeti

My transcript has

I'm not stealing. I-I'm just taking things without paying for th... (pauses) In what twisted dictionary is that stealing?

I didn't hear the swallowed letters or the pause in the episode. I think the transcriber filled that in, but I can't check against a tape.

I vote for no Tolkien-themed thread titles EVER. (But I may be in the minority there.)

I say, Tyler, you're thinking of vampires.

So this would be a bad time to repost the Buffista version?

There's a buffistafication of Lord of the Rings? Where?!

When I read DX's post, I thought he was referring to a Buffista version of 'The 12 Days of Christmas'. But I could be wrong, and also, where?!

And 'Spike's Bitches 2: My Sire Can Beat Up Your Sire' gets my vote.

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

Am-Chau is correct. I meant the 12 Steps of Buffy.

Although I'm now wondering if I don't prefer 'Spike's Bitch's 2: My oost is bigger than your oost'. Or possibly, in light of recent discussions, 'Sam will kill us if we try anything'. But possibly not.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Please, no "Sam will kill us". I love FoTR, but I'm with Angus on this one.

Man, I hate that 12 Days song, but I realize this is my issue, so I'll hush.

I hate it too. Or rather, I hated it, then there came the parody which I loved. (Not the Buffista one, the one you occasionally hear on the radio - with someone doing Archie and Edith Bunker's voices, etc.). Then I hated the parody and felt sorry for the original. But yeah, all things being equal, it's an annoying song, which is why I thought: Natter 5 Gold Rings to Rule them all and in the Darkness Bind Them was kind of snarky fun. It's a whole big thing that took place in my head and you kinda had to be there and ...

Look! Pie!
