And for some reason the phrase "Feed Me, Seymour!" just popped in my head. Not terribly happy about it either.
Funny thing about black and white. You mix it together and you get gray. And it doesn't matter how much white you try and put back in, you're never gonna get anything but gray.

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."

Art Crawl!!!
I wasn't sure whether this should go here or in GWW but apparently, there is a new sort of butt-kicking romance novel inspired by characters such as Buffy from BtVS or Sydney from Alias.

"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
While I suppose the term has spread through the mainstream without necessarily picking up any connotations beyond sugar daddydom, the acquaintance I mentioned earlier was pointing out the narrower usage in the context of his pal using the phrase in a cruisy San Francisco gym at a point in time when his genitals were within about 2 feet of the other person's head.

Re: "Who's your Daddy?"
Strangely enough, my local paper, The Orlando Sentinel, had this article about the phrase's origins today.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
justkim -- that's the article that started this all off.

Well, that's what I get for

skipping and skimming. As I said, it was in my paper today.
Nevermind.

As of a few days ago, at least, I know there were Buffistas out there intending to donate to tsunami relief but not yet sure where to direct their contribution. May I offer a suggestion, by way of a librarian friend who spent six months in Sri Lanka about two years ago setting up a community library:

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love
As I said, it was in my paper today.
justkim, thanks for linking to the article. I don't remember if it was linked upthread, but I hadn't read it yet.

"You see? THAT's what they want. Love, and a bit with a dog."
Today I picked up Three Junes. Has anyone read it?
