I said I'm sorry. I've made mistakes, but fear was never one of them.

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."

Ann, that's a ferret.

'Cause it likes having minions to do it. Yeah.

And jumping on the counter to supervise. Or is that just Max?

Also, it's not a real cat. It's a sapient alien that looks vaguely like a cat, except for the six limbs and opposable thumbs.

And this somehow makes it better?

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

Opposable thumbs make everything better. Consider for example...the banana tree. Even better with opposable thumbs.

Hec, the implications of that are strange and off putting from here.

It's all the Freudian imagery. Angster, heal thyself.

I'm with Erika here. Substitute the word "boobies" or "testicles" for "the banana tree" and you get into a whole weird area.

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

Substitute anything for the banana tree THAT ACTUALLY EXISTS.

Note to self: banana tree with opposable thumbs better than Rorshach blots.

What? Why? You are not the boss of me, Hecubus..(This is why therapy didn't quite take, huh?) I can see why I don't use the visual part of my brain very often because I can't think of anywhere I'd want to get poked by a tree, and yet? If they had thumbs, that's what I picture.

Fine. Be that way. But if the banana tree turns out to be a telepathic sapient alien, I'm leaving.
