I believe at some point early in the brouhaha he said that his friends were laughing at him.
Lorne: Snakes? Uh-huh. And they came out of your what? Okay. Okay, well, did they get up there themselves or is this part of a, you know, a thing? No, I'm not judging...Do we fight snakes? Angel: Only if they're giant. Or demons. Or giant demons. Are they giant demon snakes? Lorne: Well, unless this guy's 30 feet tall, I'm thinking they're of the garden variety.

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."

My impression of the guy is that he sorely needed to have his friends laugh at him.

I've just read a story in American Girls About Town, a collection of short stories in which couple's landlord dies and they go to the funeral. The landlord was Jewish so they need 10 men to make a "minion". Is this an actual alternative spelling of "minyan" or it is some horrible copy-editing error?
I also just read an enjoyable retelling of a Japanese folktale about fox-spirits called The Fox Woman by Kij Johnson.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
Horrible copyediting mistake, sumi. Pretty sure. Actually, likely a horrible Word autocorrection never caught contextually by the copyeditor.

Yes, the horrible Word autocorrection seems very likely.

Question for the legendarily minded folk:
What is the name of the knight at the end of the Arthurian legend who flings Excalibur back into the Lake?

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
What is the name of the night at the end of the Arthurian legend who flings Excalibur back into the Lake?
You mean the person? I think it was Lancelot, in most versions. In some versions, I think the sword sort of disappears without anybody keeping track of it.

I just finished reading book three of George R.R. Martin's Song of Fire and Ice series.
Wow. Talk about your HSQ.

sumi, several of my friends are reading those. I intend to pick them up eventually, but maybe not until the fourth one has been released, since they all say the end of the third is a huge cliffhanger. Did you like them?
