Giles, if you would like to get by in American society, then you are going to have to follow our traditions. You're the patriarch. You have to host the festivities, or it's all meaningless.

Buffy ,'Sleeper'

Frail my heart apart and play me a little Shady Grove

Does tonight's episode run long?

Ouise is making me all teary with the whitefont courtesy. Nilly's quotes in Quotable made me teary. Everything is making me teary. I never expected to be this way.

Spoiler-free here. I turned last week's promo off in the middle. I now forget what I saw that made me do that.

De-lurking on this most angsty day to say that the second hour of NPR's "Talk of the Nation" will be discussing BtVS. For those of you who missed it already in your corner of the universe, I think the show will be on the NPR Web site (www.npr.org) later this evening. But then will it — or anything else — matter anymore? Sigh.

Before I go back to being mute, I just want to thank the Buffistas for enhancing my Buffy experience with their amusing yet intelligent discourse on the best. show. ever.

And let's all remember to take a moment.

I prophesize many a drunken buffista by the end of the week. Perhaps we shoud work on a Buffy adaption of an Irish folk tune? Something delightfully mournful.... Oh, Buffy Gal, perhaps?

See the depths of my misery?! I can't type or use good grammar! UGHMAGOD!

It's a remora, dimwit.

One could filk "Buffy Summers" to "Molly Malone," or alter "Danny Boy" to "Slayer Girl."

What about "Paddy's Lament"? That one's nice and woeful. ThoughI don't think an adaptation is possible until later this evening....

Smonster - I am bringing the gin and some 'ludes.

Punishingly Intricate

And let's all remember to take a moment.

Okay that made me teary. Also, buying the fixings for my last ever Buffy night special potato at the Fresh Fields last night I got all verklempt. I have a special potato for this show! Oh I'll make it again (maybe it will become Special Angel Potato!) but it won't be the same.

(for potato lovers: I bake it, scoop the insides, mix with blue cheese, mayo, dry mustard, paprika, S & P, put sliced tomatoes on top, and sprinkle it with shredded parm or other sharp, dry Italian cheese. Then pop it back in oven to get bubbly. sniff. it's a beautiful thing. like Buffy.)

Wonder if there is anything in the filk archives?

hip deep in pie

Did anyone mention that we Canadians had a Buffy marathon on Space yesterday to warm us up for the big event? They showed the top 10 viewer voted episodes from 9 AM to 7pm, ending just as the finale began. It was like Buffy nirvana.

Except for having to sit through OMWF again.

Number!

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I was IMing with a Canadian friend of mine, home from work on Victoria Day. It was kind of cool getting little bits of the show, reminders, funny lines.

Although - "Family" was #3? You Canadians are crazy.

Ann, that's a ferret.

Sue, what were the other favorites? Anything that would make this board (generally) sit up and say, "Huh?"

(Edit to respond to xpost -- Other than "Family," that is.)
