Boooooooooo Hoooooooooo
Buffy the Vampire Slayer is coming to an end. Not that I watched it or anything.....
Here are 10 one liners we won't forget, courtesy of the Chicago Tribune, Arts & Entertainment Section, Sunday, May 18, 2003:
1. "Comfy? I'm chained in a bathtub drinkin' pig's blood from a novelty mug. Doesn't rank huge in the Zagat's guide." --Spike
2. "She just left. She didn't even care enough to cut off my head or set me on fire. I mean, is that too much to ask? You know? Some little sign that she cared?"--Spike
3. "We're drawing up a plan for world domination. The key element? Coffemakers that think."--Riley
4. "Testosterone is a great equalizer. It turns all men into morons."--Giles (THIS IS MY PERSONAL FAV!)
5. "You're not, by any chance, betraying your secret identity just to impress, um, cute boys, are you?"--Giles
6. "We can't run. That would be wrong. Could we hide?"--Willow
7. "Why go to all the trouble to dig up three girls only to chop them up and throw them away? It doesn't make any sense. Especially from a time management standpoint."--Buffy
8. "You don't just sneak up on people in a graveyard. You make a noise when you walk. You...stomp. Or yodel."--Buffy
9. "Eww! Why is it that every conversation you poeple have has the word 'corpse' in it?--Cordelia
10. "I don't like vampires. I'm going to take a stand and say they are not good."--Xander
There you have it.....the highlights of seven years of screen time! Kinda makes you wonder how they became a cult favorite.
I suppose this is the appropriate place to tell how I came to be called "Buffy." About four years ago I decided that I was going to enter the life of on-line chatting. The very first obstacle I faced was the need for a nickname to get into the chatroom. You got it......in the background "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" was playing, and I borrowed her name. At the time it seemed reasonable. I had no idea that so many people would come to know me as "Buffy." I am as unlike Sarah Michelle Gellar as a woman could be, but she provided a lot of cover, and some very stupid one liners, during my chatting days. I finally got tired of the masquerade and fessed up to being a "mature suburban matron" *G* but the name stuck. I truly envy those of you who are quick witted and can come up with repartee for every situation. Maybe if I associate with you a little of it will rub off. Until then....."Hi! I'm Buffy!"

Phew! When I saw the title of the post I was beginning to think you were throwing the towel in. Nice to know you are still in the neighbourhood. :-)

Dr. D....that's really sweet of you! I realized after I posted that the title might cause confusion, but decided it fit the post, and let it remain. I'm delighted to be blogging, even if I don't have anything earth shaking to say, so I hope that I go the distance.
My stepdaughter is getting married in ten days, and we will be hosting some of the wedding guests the afternoon of the wedding. With all the preparations, I may not post every day, but I'll be back in June.
Thanks for the support! It's always nice to know that someone is reading.
