I would be there right now.

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."

move out and draw fire

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

Ann, that's a ferret.

Substitute the word "boobies" or "testicles" for "the banana tree" and you get into a whole weird area.

Especially when your brain hands you the old AT&T "reach out and touch someone" ad slogan.

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

Thumbs in wrong places - apparently very disturbing.

Always Anti-fascist!

I'm sure you're right, actually. I'm sure it's me. In another mood, maybe... I just live to jerk your chain, at least where JZ leaves slack.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

Thumbs in wrong places - apparently very disturbing.

Also disturbing - nipples beyond the count of two, humans with dulaps, nostrils of different sizes, knees or fingers that bend to opposite way...

eta, why yes, I did just get the DVD of MST3K doing Manos: Hands of Fate. How could you tell?

What is even happening?

It's a banana bush.

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

And Cindy straddles the line of pedantry and Frank's suggestion:

Substitute the word "boobies" or "testicles" for "the banana tree" and you get into a whole weird area.

Not that I've heard it called bush. Mostly plant.

There was straddling? Next time, wake me up.

The evil is this way?

Again, Cindy overshares about her homelife ....

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Thumbs in wrong places - apparently very disturbing.

True. There are certain interactive pastimes I can think of where I really don't expect to be greeted by a thumb.
