Mom! Dead people are talking to you. Do the math!

Buffy ,'Showtime'


Natter 78: I might need to watch some Buffy for inspiration

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

It's October! Which means it's glorious and sunny in San Francisco today.

Let me tell you a little story about the Arc of the Buffistas...

The first time I met shrift I nibbled a candy necklace off her while she slounged against a bar in leather pants.

Today, I'm driving her to go get her colonoscopy.

(JZ would be very proud of her.)

That's where we are as a community.

Go shrift!! Enjoy that post-colonoscopy meal and nap!! (It’s ridiculous how y’all don’t move around in my head—in my head she is still in Michigan)

Awww. Right in the feels.

Word nerds!!!

Oh, that game! That wasn't HQ (the one that was HQ was HQ, wasn't it? My memory, I don't trust it for much these days)

Our wings are not tired.

The first time I met shrift I nibbled a candy necklace off her while she slounged against a bar in leather pants.

Ah, I remember that!

My goodness am I tired of being out of town. I finally fly home on Sunday.

I finally fly home on Sunday.

Yay and smooth travels, ND.

And, aw, that is quite the community evolution, David. Who'd have predicted, back in the day.

I adore all you motherfuckers so much -- PMM.

All love to shrift. I know you'll take good care of her, Hec; you're a community rock like that. And a good friend.

Always Anti-fascist!

Well, it's not all glamour all the time.(I wish) Aw, Karl, who would know better than you...game respects game. But I think that it seems like it, Hec.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

I am happy to report that shrift got the Express Butt Spelunking and I barely had time to go shopping in Japantown before I had to go collect her again.

She's been deposited back at her apartment and is very excited at the prospect of eating vegetables again.

Oh, yeah, having the colonoscopy in the rear view mirror, so to speak, is a good feeling!
