Spike: Heard what happened up top, offing your dad and all. Don't know if you know this, but, uh…I killed my mum. Actually, I'd already killed her, and then she tried to shag me, so I had to-- Wesley: Thank you. I'm…very comforted.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

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

and of the first landing on the moon - taken from the moon's surface.

This we actually do have, but it's a simulation and clearly labeled as such onscreen. (Rather than just show Cronkite's face the whole time, they were cutting back and forth from the studio to the simulation to some NASA diagrams etc etc.)

We get a request for footage of the Titanic pulling into New York harbour about once every couple of months.

They do know it sank on the way to New York, don't they? There was a little movie made about 14 years ago they might have heard of...

Wasn't there footage of the Lusitania leaving New York on its way to its sinking, or was that just a photo that I know I've seen in history books?

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

(My favorite, though, has got to be the request we got for footage of Columbus discovering America, with the helpful addendum "It's okay if it's black & white.")

Anybody else wishing there animations of wood-cut style artwork to send?

"And that's why God Almighty gave us fire insurance and the public defender".

We get a request for footage of the Titanic pulling into New York harbour about once every couple of months. At this point we just automatically send them the clip of the sister ship.

For those of you who are watching at home, one sociology student is totally laughing her ass off thinking how hard/serious Baudrillard would laugh at it

The fact that you lack the footage is disgraceful, Jessica.

I'd suggest you'd hire actors and make a DIY production of every major historical event, from the murder of Tiberius Gracchus on. And then go and sell it to the ignorants as the Actual Footage of.

You know you want to.

Or save some money and go with sock puppets instead of actors.

Don't think we haven't considered it!

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

For footage of Jesus walking on the water, you could use footage of a Jesus Lizard running on water.

And if someone requests footage of Hamlet sword-fighting, you could give them footage of cats fighting.

(We actually do have a fuckload of reenactment footage - Auntie Beeb loves her historical documentaries, she does.)

Here's a photo (OK, a painting) of Washington crossing the Delaware. Except it's not Washington, but Klingons.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

Oooh! I have a funny to share. One of my best friends took his wife to Mexico for the week for her birthday. He's a very exciteable guy, so even though he was pretty toasted last night, he took an Ambien to get to sleep.

Apparently, he curled up next to his wife and said in a sweet voice, "I love going to bed with you!" She asked him why, expecting to hear something else sweet, and he said, "Because you're always HERE, and you don't smell like poo."
