Buffistas

Wash: Well, I wash my hands of it. It's a hopeless case. I'll read a nice poem at the funeral. Something with imagery. Zoe: You could lock the door and keep the power-hungry maniac at bay. Wash: Oh, no, I'm starting to like this poetry idea now. Here lies my beloved Zoe, my autumn flower, somewhat less attractive now she's all corpsified and gross...

Dana: (standing in control room with clipboard) Momentarily does not mean "in a moment."

Dave: (looking at monitor) There's two dissolving to three.

Dana: Thank you. It means "for a moment."

Jeremy: Yes.

Dana: That makes me crazy.

Jeremy: We've been wondering what the source was.

Dana: (smiles) Let's see a graphic for Seattle.

Chris: Coming.

Dana: It means "for a moment," not "in a moment."

Chris: Seattle's up.

Dana: On the plane when they say "We'll be landing momentarily," I call over a flight attendant, and I tell them, "If we land momentarily, it won't give the passengers enough time to get off the plane."

Jeremy: And once safely inside the airport, how long do they usually detain you for questioning?

Dana: Well, they know me by now.

I'm not criticising Megan's use of momentarily. Later in the episode they prove Dana wrong, it can be used as "for a moment" and "in a moment". Just every time I hear that word, I think of that scene.

Thanks for all the fish.

BWAH!

Dr. Tolkien is quite nice, actually. I think he looks like Luke Wilson. Brian disagrees, but what does he know, anyway? His brain is full of bone and diseased tissue. So now I can call him a bonehead with complete accuracy. Surgery is being scheduled. Booking for July, but there are lots of cancellations and Brian is on the list.

Uh, ?

Elena - Mar 06, 2003 7:08:45 pm PST #1699 of 6793

Thanks for all the fish.

Uh, yeah? What? Did Brian not show you the pictures of his brain?

Also, are you free Friday night?

I emailed about Friday, and I saw no brain pictures. How much bone? (Looking for 'not too much'.) Brian's brain was always just a little diseased, though.

Thanks for all the fish.

To be fair, it's not so much his brain that's diseased as his sinus lining. And, apparently, lots of bone. Going to check e-mail.

To be fair, it's not so much his brain that's diseased as his sinus lining. And, apparently, lots of bone.

Is this a product of his last surgeries? You'd think the bone would have been noticed before.

I'm glad he has a diagnosis and a surgery date. Here's hoping for a lot of miracle recoveries and cancelled surgeries.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Dragged over from Natter because I lost it ...

Mecha! You doll!! Elena has my address ... take your own sweet time, but thank you so much.

Elena - Mar 08, 2003 4:22:36 am PST #1704 of 6793

Thanks for all the fish.

What's Mecha doing? Oooh, I'll be a ferreting it out of him tomorrow!

Megan, the new doctor was quite unimpressed by Brian's last surgery. Not that the surgery caused the problems, but because the last doctor didn't bother to ream out the massive overgrowth of bone - which is what is contributing to the disease.

Griff! When can we expect you back? How was the wedding in Truro?
