Gunn: The final score can't be rigged. I don't care how many players you grease, that last shot always comes up a question mark. But here's the thing. You never know when you're taking it. It could be when you're duking it out with the Legion of Doom, or just crossing the street deciding where to have brunch. So you just treat it like it was up to you—the world in balance—'cause you never know when it is.

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

My not-wallowing, apparently, involves dead turtles. Lemme 'splain.

I'm at a friend's place tonight. It's the first flesh-and-blood-and-in-person person I meet since I learned about ita's death and that actually understand this. I told her about ita, and then we started watching TV. I told her I want to see a dark comedy, maybe British. She suggested Black Books, which after an episode wasn't dark enough for my taste (or at all), so I went with one of my all time favourites, League of Gentlemen. It took three minutes for her to cringe and shout "too dark! too dark!".

And it was a wonderful hour on which I didn't have to pretend that everything's all right. And I could let go. And I could forget, and enjoy dark British comedy. My apologies to dead turtles.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

When I see a friend request that has 60-70 common friends, I know it's a Buffista.

Yes. I don't always know which Buffista, but it's dead obvious when it's one of y'all.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

Buffistas ... can't define them, but you know one when you see one.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift

Tim's on Facebook? I need to remedy our lack of friendship post haste.

I love meeting the SOs of Buffistas. It's good to know there's someone worthy of all of our awesomeness.

You can find him through my profile. Which you already knew. Duuuuh, Steph.

Done. Screw these people that say you can't make lasting relationships online.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

I saw that Tim had joined Facebook, but I figured he would have no idea who I was if I tried to friend him.

TCG has no interest in being on a computer when he is not at work.

I had a not fun afternoon trying on clothes. Now I'm at the library bookstore because I switched shifts with a friend this month. Hopefully being surrounded by books will turn around my day.

He'll just ask me who you are, so if you want to send a friend request, feel free.

Damn, people, it just hit 41 degrees! I'ma walk the dog. He'll be so happy.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

We're like art. Or porn. Or both.

We have not gotten old. We have matured like fine wine.

Hah. Yes, I just went through a bunch of old hardcopy photos, to find some ita ones, and had to pause a few times and go "OMG, we were SO YOUNG, when did we get old???" (Callaluna, i also found I have a couple pictures of you from some other time than the Chicago F2F--we're at a restaurant somewhere and you're wearing a Spikeloost shirt!)
