Tara: Do you have any books on robots? Giles: Oh, yes, dozens. There's a lot of research to be done in order to--no, I'm lying. Haven't got squat. I just like watching Xander squirm.

Steak and Ale disappeared from here a long time ago. I sort of liked them, they were dark and had a lot of walls.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

Allyson, that book sounds adorable. And I suspect there's a certain perky-goth Seattle-ista who's going to go positively...ahem...batty over it.

I haven't been this excited and terrified about writing in a very long time. I'm so nervous.

shrift! You want I should send Vampire People to them?

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

Bennigans? I have a soft spot for them--I was addicted to their godawful chicken quesadillas for quite a while.

Know who else is supposed to disappear? Kinkos. FedexKinkos is supposed to take them off the signage, although I don't think any closures are planned. More nostalgia for me, of about the same period.

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

Isn't he also the guy who wouldn't back down on building the bridge o' pork, aka the bridge to nowhere?

Yes, yes he is. Also, bringing a Cray II into the Geophysical Institute to crunch data in order to see if the Northern Lights have any harnessable energy.

I guess Alaskans are looking to new political models: [link]

In Alabama?

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

Good luck, shrift!!

The Bennigan's story was all over the news this morning. I haven't been to one in a while, so it won't be any big for me, but I did like their burgers.
