"Custard's Last Stand"
That's terrible!
I'm so sorry, but if it makes you feel any better, my fun-time-Buffy party night involved watching a robot throw Spike through a window, so if you want to trade... no wait, I wouldn't give up that memory for anything.

I think if you live through a last stand, then it isn't a last stand anymore, you just THOUGHT you were making a last stand.
Does that mean a last stand can only refer to a past event? You can't say "That's where we'll make our last stand." Couldn't a last stand mean the expectation of defeat due to overwhelming odds?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
If you die and come back to life? Last stand? Some people are trying to disqualify Gandalf...

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
I think it best if we just don't use the phrase.
I think I need another nap. I forgot how much more important it is that people respond to emails when I am working from home.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
I think it best if we just don't use the phrase.
So is this the last stand of our last stand discussion?

I think of a last stand as the last option, in which if you're defeated, you have no more moves to make. In a battle, you might die or be taken prisoner.

So, in reading about Miley Cyrus and the littler Hemsworth getting engaged, I learned that the bigger Hems is married to a 35 year old! Which...gives me hope?
The Hemsworths just had a little girl about a month ago, too.

IO9 linked to a distressing article on a dangerous "treatment" for autism. I don't understand why you have to make your snake oil so highly dangerous. Aren't there plenty of things that won't harm that you could bilk people with instead?
