I'm still re-watching S3 of Buffy, and I remain committed to my position that the Mayor was the best villain of the 7 seasons.
Well, look who just popped open a fresh can of venom.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

It's his opposition to swearing, isn't it?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Oh, der. I was totally doing that in my head, but forgot about the process-of-elimination part at the end. (I.e., if you know it's one of three, you just have to weigh two of them to tell which is heavier.)
It is a rainy day here, and I need to really deal with the leftover crap in my apartment. The stupid issue I have is, I figure my Christmas stuff will live in the basement storage most of the time, but I'm not going to put it down there if I'm just pulling it back out in a couple of weeks.

Not only is the Mayor the best villain, his relationship with Faith rivals the relationship of Spike/Dru for most interesting combo on the dark side.

It's his relationship with Faith that, for me, makes him the best villain. By "best villain" I don't necessarily mean "biggest badass" or "killed the most people." Biggest badass is probably Angelus (plus there was the satisfyingly painful emotional arc). *Maybe* Glory.
But the Mayor is dangerous and calculating and evil, and still has that relationship with Faith, which is real and warm and totally not evil. And that just somehow makes him the best for me.
Plus the opposition to swearing.

That's one of the reasons I love Spike. He's a total bad-ass, except his flaw is he's too human. It's his ability to love that's sorta' a reverse tragic-flaw....

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame
Overnight I seem to have traded my migraine for the ability to breath through my nose. Joy.

Suzi, in my opinion, that's trading up. It's always been easier for me to unstuff my nose than to vanquish a migraine.

True, Teppy, true. I want to go to karate today, I have 2 hours of class, but if I can't use my nose, it is going to be difficult. Yes, it would have been impossible with the migraine.
CJ and I are meeting up with Nicole and her DH to see Wicked tonight! I'm very excited.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Since I solved it, I've been thinking about my unconscious assumptions that initially prevented me from figuring it out. (Which is interesting to think about.)
Dammit, I couldn't get past the assumption that the first step would be to weigh four on each side.
