Spike? It's you. It's really you! My therapist thought I was holding on to false hope, but…I knew you'd come back. You're like…you're like Gandalf the White, resurrected from the pit of the Balrog, more beautiful than ever. Oh…he's alive Frodo. He's alive.

"already on the kiss-cam with Karl Marx"-

Ok, Fay...if that's true, you're funny. Fandom being what it is though, I never am sure what's serious. Pumpkin pie kind of puzzles me too, actually. Though I've tried a few times, trying to be a loyal American and etc. Still would rather have cheesecake and cherries or something.

I want to start a band and name it this. We'll do covers of Toad the Wet Sprocket songs remixed as Sousa marches.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

Are they all puns or some such? I'm still not getting "Pumpkin Pie". I don't get "Guns and Handcuffs" either unless it's because that's the only way that pairing would actually happen.

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.

There is nothing to get, afaik. There is no cunning wordplay. It's just a phrase that's supposed to be a codeword for a given pairing. I think that some of them derive from specific fics, from what the Wikipedia said, but no, I don't think there's a particular schemata in action.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

It is sort of like Roswell, I think, which took me forever to understand. And probably for similar reasons-- because they both have a lot of characters with names starting with the same letter. Harry, Hermione. Ron, Remus. Sirius, Snape. Michael, Maria, Max

Today a Mr Snape phoned me up! But he didn't sound like Alan Rickman.
