That was my guess too, Fay. But it's intriguing enough for me to try and track down the conversation. Given, of course, that it was most likely in a thread I seldom frequent, or far upstream in a thread where I've skipped, so I'd be unlikely to stumble across it on my own, and that it wasn't a private AIM or email conversation.
Angel: I appreciate you guys looking out for Connor all summer. It's just—he's confused. He needs time. That's all. Fred: Right. Time, and some corporal punishment with a large heavy mallet. Not that I'm bitter.

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."

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

No, it was on the boards somewhere.

love's a dream you enter though I shake and shake and shake you
where and in relation to what did Hec utter--well, type-- your tagline?
David, can you remember? I can't. It was definitely on this board, and I'm pretty sure it was in a thread I don't regularly frequent (which doesn't really narrow it down any, because I only read here and Bitches with any regularity).

The status is NOT quo.
Making a Skippy McSkipperson cameo appearance to recommend a wonderful book I just finished: The Time Traveler's Wife by Audrey Niffenegger. It was a wonderful read, and so unbelievably complex yet utterly readable. Bittersweet and beautiful and oddly funny. Quirky.
It's one of the most original and interesting books I've read in a very long time. You can find info and reviews about it here on Amazon.
