Will Buffy still be able to call religion 'freaky'?
No, because in the Brave New World of TV, BtVS would not air, as vampires and violence and such are not acceptable.
Angel: Will you just shut up for once?! Illyria: What? Angel: My God, the speechifying. Has it ever occurred to you that now might not be the best time for when-we-were-muck stories?

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
“defend and implement the Biblical principles on which our country was founded.”
that phrase and similar ones drive me insane. Or did I miss the part in the bible about taxation without representation?

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

I just had a thought. Don't bother watching TV. I imagine the direct-to-DVD market for decent things, and not just pathetic Disney sequels, will be appearing fairly soon.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
My sister (who already owns the Proulx) informs me they're screening Brokeback Mountain in Toronto next month.

Hi everybody! I'm back!
Looking for advice: I have to email a professor to ask if she'll let me into her history of math class even though I don't have all the prerequisites (specifically, Calc III and maybe Differential Equations). I think I have a pretty good case -- mainly, that I plan to be teaching math next fall and would like to have some history of math under my belt for it -- but I've never actually done this before. How do I phrase it?
