Buffistas

Can't even shout, Can't even cry. The Gentlemen are coming by. Looking in windows, knocking on doors. They need to take seven, and they might take yours. Can't call to mom, can't say a word. You're gonna die screaming but you won't be heard.

We're Literary 2: To Read Makes Our Speaking English Good

Closed Threads

There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I get this weekly email from my local mystery book store, and thought this was pretty funny:

Now, I’m going to give a plug to a book that doesn’t really need it, and I know that some of you will groan. But, the new Robert B. Parker, BAD BUSINESS ($24.95) was just signed, and truthfully, I thought it was pretty good. (My one complaint is that I would have liked to see more Hawk, and less Susan, but that’s par for the course. More violence, less psychoanalysis. )

It makes me laugh that theoretically she's supposed to be selling these books -- "truthfully, pretty good"? Heh.

Not javachik

"CHIM-ur-uh"

It ISN'T? Uh oh.

I say "fack" for FAQ, too. How do you say URL? I spell it. Is it supposed to be "Earl"?

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

For URL, I say "you are ell." Never heard anyone say it "Earl."

So far, co-worker and erika are the only 2 people who say F-A-Q, rather than "fack."

Fackers, unite!

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

Um, I say "Earl."

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

Similarly I had pegged "gaoler" as "gail-er" instead of "jailer" and still read "cupboard" as "cup-board" instead of "cubberd."

I still read "gaoler" and "gaol" as gail.

I say "fack" for FAQ, too. How do you say URL? I spell it. Is it supposed to be "Earl"?

Say it Earl, and I will fack your shit up, damn it.

It's U-R-L.

The other gives me freakin' hives.

(Though I fack for FAQ)

Um, I say "Earl."

Oy. Sweetpeach, NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Say it isn't so. (weeps)

At w-o-r-k, many peeps say Earl. Drives me bonkers.

"Cry havoc and let slip the boobs of war!" -- Miracleman

It's U-R-L.

I think that more people dont "Earl" because it's sounds too much like puking.

Always Anti-fascist!

I would never have thought of fack...oh, well, fack it.

I will change my evil Earl ways.

Just because you called me "Sweetpeach."

I'm a cheap ho for fruit endearments.

Uncertainty could be our guiding light.

My big fo-pah in junior high was reading out loud something from my advanced history class and pronouncing "corps" like "corpse." Even the teacher laughed. Sigh.
