Lorne: Once the word spreads you beat up an innocent old man, well, the truly terrible will think twice before going toe-to-toe with our Avenging Angel. Spike: Yes. The geriatric community will be soiling their nappies when they hear you're on the case. Bravo.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

Illinois also has treats like Cairo (KAY-ro) and DeZ Plainz to trip up the unwary. Or edumacated.

Also, AY-thens (Athens) and San JOES (San Jose).

Our favorite was always the tourists trying to pronounce "Nenana" and "Tanana". Oh, and "Tlingit".

Oh, that's exciting, Gud! Yay preschool! I loved preschool.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

I loved preschool.

I never fully grasped the whole "naptime" concept. I didn't asleep during naptime.

I didn't either, but I was so distressed by my "failure" that the nuns let me read instead. So I got my own special reading time! It was awesome.

Natchitoches is the one that confused me forever.

I was just talking with a friend about my disappointment at never being chosen as "nap fairy" because I couldn't stay asleep.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Emmett's old enough to be in MIDDLE SCHOOL??

I hereby decree that Buffista offspring are not to age in between F2Fs. It's just confusing.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

I'm convinced that "nap time" is just a break for the teachers.

(i.e. I never slept either)

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

Natchitoches is the one that confused me forever.

Does anyone here (I don't) know how to pronounce Chinquipin? I directed Steel Magnolias before the internets, and pretty much made it up (something like Chick a pin)

Trust my rage

Steilacoom tends to give non-natives trouble.

I used to live there! Such a pretty town with an awesome 4th of July parade and really cool beach.
