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.

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

fucksticks: According to reports, Paul Newman, 83 and a former chain-smoker, has been diagnosed with terminal lung cancer.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Shit! Kenyon College alumnus, do-gooder, smartass, race car driver, charismatic sonofabitch, Butch Cassidy, and ultimately a really good actor.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

Hivemind! Can you think of a store where I might be able to pick up a Michael Scott-ish "World's Greatest Boss" coffee mug?

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

83 is a good long run, but, damn, he's such a quality human being that we really could have done with another two or three decades of him. Preferably ending peacefully in bed surrounded by fat, happy grand and great-grandchildren, not with tubes and IVs and lung cancer. Fuck you, cancer, you asshole.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

One would think that that would excuse you from them.

Well, okay, there is that. Still makes me feel wimpy.

Pullups I could do a fair amount of out of the box too. But these days I'm in grevious shape. I have no idea what's left.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

If nothing else, it's nice to know the current Gawker roster is full of Buffy nerds: [link]
