Buffy: A Guide, but no water or food. So it leads me to the sacred place and then a week later it leads you to my bleached bones? Giles: Buffy, really. It takes more than a week to bleach bones.

with a gleam in my eye, and an almost airtight alibi

So many places to take the straight line, so few that won't involve entering a witness protection program...
My standard response is I get 10%. It works for most situations. ;)

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

This is what we get for marathon watching of Queer as Folk.

Hey! High standards of innuendo can only help the community. Do it for the children. Preferably someone else's, as my maternal instincts are puny and only cover the ferrets and houseplants.

Snerk. And the Jabaneros appreciate it.
The nasturtiums, however, are jaded.

Dude, even I wouldn't sit for too many of those in one viewing—it could lead to a reality disconnect like the one Joey and Chandler had after watching the free porn channel 24/7.

But wouldn't the world be a better place if they did??? Or at least have better fashion sense?

My first instinct is to agree, but then I remember some of the guys I've been standing next to in the check-out line. The world is better off the way it is.

the hardest to learn / was the least complicated
Sandman, V for Vendetta & Miracleman were what convinced me that comics were not all focused on Men in Tights. I have an unreasonable fondness. Welcome to the club!
I freaking LOVE V for Vendetta, although I don't own it (it was foisted on me as a lended book by a friend; I didn't want to read it but I felt I should, and I ended up reading it in one weekend -- I did nothing but eat, pee, sleep, and read that book).
The same friend lent me From Hell, which I still haven't read yet. However, I have back surgery on Tuesday, and I have to be off work for 2 weeks afterward. I wonder if From Hell is appropriate recovery reading? (People have told me not to read it at night.)
And I am a Spider-Man fanatic from WAY back. I still consider the Kraven's Last Hunt arc to be superb storytelling, and have it as a hardbound collection.
My current addiction is Ultimate Spider-Man, which is re-telling the Spidey story from the beginning, but set in modern times. It fucks with canon in several places, and for most parts I'm good with the changes, but some of them bother me as much as the organic webshooters in the movie did. t /web-head geek

I've been working on a song about the difference between analogy and metaphor.
Yay, SA!
Though I feel I should warn you that you may not see what all the fuss is about in Preludes and Nocturnes, at least not until you get to the very last issue collected in it, which is where Gaiman really finds his voice for the series, IMHO. When I was trying to convert friends who were adamantly anti-comics, I would start them off with the second volume, which is independent and much more successful as a storyline.
It didn't hurt that my edition of The Doll's House also reprinted the issue listed above, "The Sound of Her Wings."
