Joyce: And what did you do tonight? Dawn: Irritated Giles. I'm beginning to get why Buffy likes it so much.
'Get It Done'

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
Right? it is made the fuck up.
I searched google scholar for it and all kinds of people have cited that shit. It's in Bartleby's apparently, but they cite some random book from 1959 who cite Plato. Wouldn't you specify where in Plato you found a quote? You are circulating a rumor, Bartleby's.

You should tell Bartleby's! I am sure they would prefer not to!

There *is* a Roman author who said something pithy about the youth of today; I've taught the work in Classical Civ. But I'm damned if I can remember what it is, and Google is failing me. (I am pretty sure what I'm thinking of is not Cicero's oration against Catiline.)

Ginger,
*kisses*
So, I guess I am heading back over to the Web site to put a cherry on the sundae of my argument.
