Buffy? I like that. That girl's so hot, she's buffy.

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

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."

I can't even.

And his coat. I'd redeem him for the coat.

Which was looted from a corpse, that is, someone else's coat. You could always make him take it off before dustbusterizing him.

Hornby is an Arsenal fan, proving that he is in fact, a sad, sad bastard. However, the manner in which he shares his misery is illuminating and almost validates his miserable existance.

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

Don't think the trophy nature doesn't enhance it.

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

It took me a minute to realize you were talking about sports, not about Roy Harper.

Especially since it is a ::magic coat:: that fits all comers. Handy that.

Hee. I have no idea who Roy Harper is, so I think we're all square.

Uncertainty could be our guiding light.

Typo Boy, I'm glad I'm not alone in the "don't get the 'Get Fuzzy' love" camp.

an overblown libretto and a sumptuous score/ could never contain the contradictions I adore

It took me a minute to realize you were talking about sports, not about Roy Harper.

It took me until you said this to realize he wasn't talking about Roy Harper.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

In my continuing quest to put off reading Kavalier and Clay I instead bought and read Steven Brust's Issola. I think the author is getting away from what made the first-person perspective of a petty crook interesting, what with all the cosmic battles with the fate of the world hanging in the balance and soforth. Also, Bad Things were done to one of my favorite characters from the series.

Always Anti-fascist!

Kavalier and Klay is great...no need to put it off.

Who's your favourite, Matt? I can't tell the books apart by title anymore.

Teldra, I'm guessing.
