Dear Coworker-who-likes-to-slap-me-on-the-back,
Jayne: Well... I don't like the idea of someone hearin' what I'm thinkin'. Inara: No one likes the idea of hearing what you're thinking.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Don't touch me!
I used to put that song on all my mix tapes.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Now he runs on those "cheetah" legs, and he's competing in the regular Olympics, since a study revealed that the reason he's so good isn't the artificial legs, but his own physique.
Oh yay! I was so angry when there was talk of not letting him compete. I mean, if he can qualify for the Olympics, he should damn well get to compete in the Olympics!

You still make mix tapes?

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
There should be a Buffista YouTube Mix channel.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Can't you do that with Spotify or some shit?
I don't understand these music apps. They're all on my lawn, confusing me.

"Used to."
I still make playlists all the time, and make them to burn on a CD-R.

That makes more sense. I don't think I have a working tape player anymore, but I still can't bring myself to toss out my old mix tapes. They feel like a piece of my history, and they don't take up much space.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
I've taken some old mix tapes that I love and made playlists from them. Usually I can download tracks that I don't already have on iTunes.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
My mixed tapes are in a box under the bed.
But I had use for them fairly recently as the Geo Prizm we owned prior to this car only had a tape player. In fact, that's what got Emmett into listening to Harry Potter on audiobook with me, since I'd gotten those books on tape years ago when he was younger. And that's a fond memory I have, of Emmett and I listening to the whole series of books on tape with him over the course of a year or so.
Many was the time we'd sit there in the car waiting to get to the end of a scene before getting out, or him getting off from school and popping a tape into the deck before saying hello to me.
That's how I got him to watch Pushing Daisies with me too: "Jim Dale does the narrator's voice."
We also listened to Wee Free Men on tape.
