That'd be my guess.
I fed off a flowerperson, and I spent the next six hours watchin' my hand move.

Hi Jake! It was a delight to meet you in SF. And yes, we have all had a variety of feels concerning Spike. Even naming a thread here Spike's Bitches. (it has a history too)
Medical~ma, JenP. Good girl doing all the healthcare things.
It has been Double Monday for work today, so despite my retired status I have been solving issues all day. Sigh.

Occasionally I’m callous and strange
I don't hate Spike. Heck, by the end of season 2, he was a stand-up guy.
First off, not a "guy," a literal demon in a suicide blonde Marsters wrapper. But some of us do love him for...reasons. The logical thing would have been for Buffy to come back to the Sunset Club at the end of _Lie to Me_ with a flame thrower (or, ya know, lots of weapons) to try and and take out the threat of Spike/Dru/their posse, but clearly the character was already too beloved at that point to take out.
Second, I see what you did with the "stand-up" reference and that groaner is almost as bad as Angelus' horrible wheelchair puns. ;P

Happy birthday, Gud! I'm grateful for you and for this board.

Yeah, logic didn't have a lot to do with Spike's appeal. A bunch of us just liked it when he was on the screen. He certainly generated a lot of discussion too. The character had some delightful dialogue.

Happy Birthday Gud!
Hi Jake!
Thanks to vacation and the long holiday weekend I'm at work for the first time since the 17th, and trying to fight off a case of the Don't Wannas. I did get the two most urgent things on my docket to a point where I have to wait for other people's input. But weirdly, watching the clock hasn't made them drop whatever they're doing to get back to me immediately. What's up with that?
