No. You're missing the point. The design of the thing is functional. The plan is not to shoot you. The plan is to get the girl. If there's no girl, then the plan, well, is like the room.

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 took the "I don't need heroes to root for" as a slam against those of us who like our protagonists to some degree heroic.

Um, it just sounded like personal opinion to me. Luckily, we can fall back on my old favorite: Different People Are Different.

Edit: needless to say, that was a crosspost.

Always Anti-fascist!

OK, Godfather.(Except considering your favor, this is more James Brown than Vito Corleone. AndI guess Kay does get to ask somebody about his business.) I love a good funny antihero Susan. And maybe I have a few antisocial tendencies.(See tag.) The Leonard thing? Is a dialogue's Bitch thing. (It's so good...he's twice my age and I crush on him.)And most times, he does have some heroes...they're just not always on the side of the law you might think.

Actually, I like books about criminals because they remind me of my misspent youth. I think Bubba is my favorite character in the Lehane books.

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

Pray tell, preacher's daughter.

C'mon, everyone knows I went out with criminals in high school. Including my parents.

Dude, I love Bubba! (Not least because he has a dog named Sargeant Esterhaus. I could forgive a lot of a man like that.)

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

I did not know your parents were high school criminals.

That's why they were criminals.

Yeah, yeah, I almost went back to edit. Even my parents know I went out with criminals in high school.

I always love the cheerful sociopath on the side of good.
