Fred: So you don't worry that it's possible for someone to send out a biological or electronic trigger that effectively overrides your own sense of ideals and values and replaces them with an alternative coercive agenda that reduces you to a mindless meat puppet? Shopkeeper: Wow. People used to think that I was paranoid.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

I did, too! And then I tried to say an M with a glottal stop. I failed miserably.

As a linguistics minor, I was entertained that the IPA (International Phonetics Alphabet) made it into the penultimate Buffy and I believe I then entertained amyth with my attempts to pronounce m?.

flea, go for the tag I say. wish i'd grabbed it.

Ann, that's a ferret.

I buy the brand they recommend, despite the fact that it named Slow FE.

AAAARRRRGGGGHHHHH! It's been staring us in the face all along, and we've never realized it! The FE is IRON!!!!!

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

Also? I have this somber, lip-quivery feeling just walking into this thread.

I think I have to watch the finale with my Mom. I don't want to watch it alone.

Although we won't be able to talk about it afterward, because she segues immediately into 24, which has its finale next week.

If I only had a brain...

Don't glottal stops pretty much have to follow a vowel by definition?

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Another WTF moment for me and amyth: Buffy telling Spike AND Xander that they were her source of strength. Next she'll be telling Angel that. If she tells Andrew...

Am I alone in the not feeling the Andrew love? Every time he's on screen I wish that he were the dead one, not Jonathan.

Up with the sun

I don't think so, flea.

I'm another one who decided the AR never happened because it was just too ridiculous, out of character, and, frankly, icky. I hate that what was basically a case of Writers Run Amok defines one of the most interestng relationships on the show for many of you.

And, ooh, #4. Shiny.

Am I alone in the not feeling the Andrew love?

Nope. He's amused me occasionally, but the joke continues to grow thin.

Hey, my tagline is from the letters section on Salon today in response to yesterday's article on how Spike has spoilt the series. Go, Kelly Link!

there is something to be said for the lyric and imperial attitude / believe that everything is for you until you discover that you are for it

Top 40?

Edit: Yay!

Will be more contentfull later.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

That's my story, and I'm stickin' to it.

I'm sticking to jengod's story.

Glottal stops can also begin a word. "of", for example.
