Buffistas

Giles, if you would like to get by in American society, then you are going to have to follow our traditions. You're the patriarch. You have to host the festivities, or it's all meaningless.

"I'm useless alone." // "We're all useless alone. It's a good thing you're not alone."

Did Austen mean to imply that Marianne slept with Willoughby, or was that a liberty taken by the filmmakers?

I don't think so, as that would have been a HUGE deal. When Lydia runs off with Wickham in Pride and Prejudice, everyone fears that she's not only ruined her own reputation, but also ruined the marriage chances of her sisters.

Is it also implied that Marianne caught a disease from Willoughby, or is that purely a figment of my imagination?

I think that one's just you.

Tom, which version did you see?

The one that just aired on Masterpiece Theater.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

Ah, I haven't seen that one, so I don't know what they might have added. But, yeah, if they implied that Marianne slept with Willoughby, that would be a breathtaking liberty.

No, I don't think I will - me, quoting Captain Steve Rogers, to all of 2020

Hey, here's a little something for Jon B.

YouTube is blocked for me at work now. Which in this instance, is probably a blessing.

probably so, it is theme song for the latest incarnation of the Power Rangers - Power Rangers: Jungle Fury.

Ann, that's a ferret.

Have been to Denny's but can't remember the last time. We have several IHOPs near home, so that's where we go when we're in that kind of mood. We'll also go to the local Silver Diner now and then, but they try too hard to create an atmosphere that has to develop naturally.

There was a Big Boy near where we lived at one point, but I think it closed.

I always think of Perkins restaurant as a cut above diner. Not fancy, but just a bit nicer place than the typical diner.

Now tagless for your comfort.

Scola, I was watching that version last night. That part was just you. I've always seen it as being implied that Marianne's fever was brought about by her being abandoned by Willoughby.

Were you referring to the conversation Elinor had with Mrs. Jennings when she said Willoughby and Marianne were not lovers?

I'm full of gronk this morning. Went to bed at midnight, Owen got up at 4 with a nightmare and Liv was up for good by 5:30 a.m. It's going to make for a loooooong day.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Dude. That's an optical Theremin. Which Jon, being the Theremin snob that he is, doesn't consider to be a real Theremin. (Neither do I, for that matter.)
