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."

Hey I'm sure that, given the choice, he would totally have done that.
My Mom was ordering vitamins from a catalog by phone,and the sales person asked her if she wanted an herb that would stop her aging. Her response: "I'm 91. I'll stop aging soon enough, but I intend to postpone it as long as possible."
