Look, you got a little stabbed the other day. That's bound to make anyone a mite ornery.

Literary Buffistas 3: Don't Parse the Blurb, Dear.

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."

Because books.

Nomad Velour is just everything.

You've got friends to have good times with. When you need to share the trauma of a badly-written book with someone, that's when you go to family.

. . . and now they're trying to invalidate the recall petition on procedural grounds? I'm going to have to go to Costco tomorrow, there's not enough popcorn on this island.

In the course of cleaning up computer files, my friend Sara found that she had e-books of Nomad Velour's firefighter porn. (In her defense she bought them 10 years ago and it wasn't for the deathless prose, but even by those standards - wow.)

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

Dude apparently ran unopposed for president because he manipulated the other candidate into dropping out:

How does it keep getting worse?!?

Oh honey, the mentally unwell people have been in the fanbase since Game Changers was Stucky fanfiction on the internet. The calls have been coming from inside the house the whole time!

At this point I'm waiting for him to peel off a mask and reveal it was Kevin Spacey the whole time.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

I feel like you would have to actively try to handle things this badly.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Ha, Matt!

I don't really know anything about Mr Velour other than the stuff I have read the last few days and I'm trying to keep an open mind because I am really only reading one side of the story (it's a very persuasive side, but I'm sure there's stuff I'm missing) but I did read the interview where Chuck Tingle comes up and the rest of that interview pretty much makes him seem like a prick so....yeah

Last I heard (I haven't been on Twitter all day) he was refusing to step down, but I can't imagine there's any way he could effectively serve his term after this.

They (he) just appointed four new board members.
