Paul says there are a lot of news families.

My unscientific speculation, having met many ENG peeps, is that it's because they have no social skills, and are forced to mate with each other.

I don't believe that, because [the Slayer power] always worked for good.

It did?

(I know it would have screwed up the moment, but does anyone else wish we'd seen an "evil Slayer" in the Chosen montage? My ass would have been off with the laughing.)

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.

Maybe, but I'm inclined to lean more toward it being the ungodly hours you have to keep.

All is well that ends in pizza.

Michael Ian Black: "Flappers. Why did they call them flappers? I wonder what they flapped?" pauses, looks around. "I was the voice of the dog sock puppet for pets.com. Did you know that?"

I don't know who Mike Ian Black is, but this is still funny.

Thanks. (bows)

He's the guy who runs the Bowling Alley for Ed on the NBC show "Ed."

He's odd.

Snork.

TV news, which is what he's in, isn't so bad.

He's 8-5, and when he was working News-News, he got off at 11, unless there was a story that needed the truck. Of course, he was also periodically gone for weeks at a time on Major News Events.

Though it occurs to me that my perception of wacky hours is completely detached from reality.

Strawberry disappointment.

Cindy: The class protector award. I'd always admired BtVS ability to avoid pouring the sugar on, and while being emotional it avoided blatant emotional manipulation. That scene had my teeth rotting and was sooo manipulative that I just thought it jarred compared to everything else that had gone before it.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

But I love the class protector bit. All of it. Her perfect moments always got ripped away from her, and she deserved to have one unsullied good evening.

Yes, this. She even says earlier in the ep that she had wanted just one perfect high school moment, but that got screwed, and she was over it. It's the fact that she *does* get her one perfect high-school moment (albeit in a Sunnydale way) AND she actually gets wide(r) recognition for saving people's asses that makes me cry.

Nobody

(and she looked so pretty)

Up with the sun

(and she looked so pretty)

(That she did. I thought it would've been better with her hair up, though in the context of the show a perfect chignon right then would have seemed kind of odd.)

Strawberry disappointment.

Yes, by all means, unsullied good evening. But there must've been a way to do it that wasn't so sugary and manipulative. It wasn't the concept that I didn't like. It was the execution.
