In School Hard (2.03), when Buffy is in the alley at the Bronze fighting the vampire that Spike sent out to “get something to eat”, Buffy yells to Xander that a stake would be nice. Xander runs in the Bronze, grabs her bag, pulls out something I can’t make out and then pulls out a tampon in its wrapper, which he fumbles with and flips on the table. He finally gets the stake and throws it to Buffy just in time. |

We’ll count those jolly ranchers! I loved Buffy’s face in Life Serial every time she took a shot - cracked me up! And…the episode that exposed us to kitten poker…that’s absolutely the best!
So in biblical times, where there was no legal drinking age, I assume, (hoping that DOESN’T make an ass our of you and me…), was it ok for children to have wine? I wonder when it was determined that there should be a legal drinking age for adults?
December 10th, 2005 at 10:37 pm
I’m sure there still isn’t a legal age in a lot of countries. I think that cultures that encourage a glass of wine at dinner for children discourages heavy drinking later in life, because it takes away the novelty and the “cool factor”. How many times to you hear teeny boppers talking about how wasted they got off fruity wine coolers last weekend in some lame attempt to sound cool. I doubt having wine with your Sabbath dinner produces the same effect.

Volstead can kiss my booty. You’d think we would’ve learned. Well, there are a lot of people (they aren’t all baptists) who make themselves feel better by criticizing others.
Yes, all things in moderation. Just because something is dangerous doesn’t mean it’s immoral.
December 11th, 2005 at 2:05 am
beags…making the obscure reference to the “Volstead Act”…oh yeah…I like it.
December 11th, 2005 at 2:30 am
For those of us who were not acute enough to be down with the Volstead comment (like me!) and who also want to keep up with the likes of slightlyem and beags, here’s what I found on the net at http://www.spartacus.schoolnet.co.uk/USAvolstead.htm
“Andrew Volstead, a leading Republican member of the House of Representatives, was the author of the National Prohibition Act (also known as the Volstead Act) that was passed by Congress in 1919. The law prohibited the manufacture, transportation and sale of beverages containing more than 0.5 per cent alcohol. The act was condemned by a large number of the American population who considered it a violation of their constitutional rights.
One of the consequences of the National Prohibition Act was the development of gangsterism and crime. Enforcement of prohibition was a difficult task and a growth in illegal drinking places took place. People called moonshiners distilled alcohol illegally. Bootleggers sold the alcohol and also imported it from abroad. The increase in criminal behaviour caused public opinion to turn against prohibition. In 1933 prohibition was repealed by the adoption of the 21st Amendment.”
Consider yourselves in the loop, if you wanted to be. I know I did!

oh, and excuse me while I go have a kahlua for my after dinner dessert:) nummies…
December 11th, 2005 at 3:38 pm
Yes, Not very becoming of me. To point my finger at a group and call them finger pointers. Must of been the alcohol.

What does it say about everyone that something called “Xander handles a tampon” can quickly get this many posts?
December 12th, 2005 at 12:54 am
It’s crazy buffy-fun, that’s what it is! Another reference to “that-time’-of-the-month” in the buffyverse is when Willow and Oz are discussing continuing dating once they discover he’s a werewolf, she says to Oz “Yeah, okay, werewolf, but that’s not all the time. I mean, three days out of the month I’m not much fun to be around either.” (source www.buffyworld.com, season 2, “Phases”). This line cracked me up as well!
December 12th, 2005 at 6:26 am
And after all, who doesn’t love “crazy buffy-fun” anyway?
December 12th, 2005 at 8:25 pm
“Jesus liked to party, what with the water into wine”
He could have turned wheat into marijuana
Or sugar into cocaine
Or vitamin pills into amphetamines
Jesus was way cool
December 13th, 2005 at 1:03 am
Amen, mairce (haha, I just cracked myself up, seriously I might need a minute) … Jesus was pretty cool. Plus now, I mean seriously, look at all the nice, happy holidays we have. Even myself, who happens to be an atheist (sp?, now I feel stupid) appreciates both the randomness of holidays (come on Easter? what’s w/ the rabbit? And the eggs?) and also the religious side. And all of the stories are nice and they make you feel good, like everything really could be good and peaceful and there’s a whole other side to everything.
One more thing … this used to be tampons … how random are we?
December 13th, 2005 at 1:15 am
Randon tampons….good name for a band.
December 13th, 2005 at 1:16 am
RandoM Tampons, that is…Paging Jess!…we really need edit buttons!
December 13th, 2005 at 1:24 am
Random Tampons, I can see it now. That name will be in lights someday.
December 13th, 2005 at 1:48 am
The title of our first album: “Buffy’s Purse”
December 13th, 2005 at 2:43 am
I will not rest until I put this band together…
December 13th, 2005 at 3:02 am
Our second album can be called: “The Spangladesh Flag”
December 13th, 2005 at 5:25 am
“I will not rest until I put this band together…”
I should hope not, Abby..after all, you ARE our lead singer.
December 13th, 2005 at 6:17 am
b’please..I really like your Stacy’s Mom parody lyrics…and I love finally knowing how to make italics.
December 13th, 2005 at 6:18 am
Ok…what the F***?….
December 13th, 2005 at 6:19 am
Great work, b’please…you broke the site…
December 13th, 2005 at 10:16 am
OK, kids, I’m gone for a day and you all italicise the site. Nice one. Fixed now!
December 13th, 2005 at 4:19 pm
B’please…Go to your room…NOW!
December 13th, 2005 at 5:59 pm
Who’s your daddy, b’please? Heh heh….
December 13th, 2005 at 9:14 pm
b’please, I love the lyrics and was singing your little diddy and laughing!
Another Spike poetry quote:
“I’m the very spirit of vexation. What’s another word for “gleaming”?”
December 13th, 2005 at 11:40 pm
I am only able to check this site after school and it is amazing to see what exactly you guys put on this site in the course of a day!
Great b’please! You make Weird Al proud.
December 14th, 2005 at 12:15 am
Abb, See what you have to look forward to in your professional life? Risking the wrath of the web nazis (getting fired) to post ramdem ideas on a site about a character named Buffy. Yay! teehee
December 14th, 2005 at 2:08 am
Abby - same here. We don’t have to worry about getting fired necessarily but we do have to watch out for very large study hall teachers that like to shout and run at you (and when they do, you need to hold on to something b/c the floor shakes). Or maybe that’s just me. We too risk the wrath of web nazis but in a different, less serious way (detention).
December 14th, 2005 at 3:39 am
Amen! (But remember, if the study hall teacher is more then 10 minutes late, we can all go home!)
December 14th, 2005 at 3:48 am
Abby, unfortunately you aren’t in my study hall. Then we could get scolded together. (Or go home if she was late.)

“just the largest damn papers you’ve ever written.”
..and, as I sit in my office at 11 PM, pouring over an 67 page brief I have to file with the United States Circuit Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit, I can tell you that, even after college, the “damn papers” you have to write just keep getting bigger and bigger and bigger….
To paraphrase the old country standard, “Mama, don’t let your babies grow up to be lawyers…”
December 14th, 2005 at 2:09 pm
What could be brief about 67 pages? *rim shot*
Man, if I don’t get out of work by 5:30 I’m ready to strangle someone. Remember, No one says, “I wish I would’ve spent more time in the office.” on their deathbed.
December 14th, 2005 at 4:28 pm
“you sound very important when you write comments like that.”
Well, b’please, it just so happens, I am very important…you know, according to my Mom…
December 14th, 2005 at 4:29 pm
“I wish I would’ve spent more time in the office.”
I know I’ve heard that somewhere…okay, beags, spare me the ardour of going through every DVD I own, and tell me…
December 14th, 2005 at 4:44 pm
I can’t remember where I heard/read that.
December 14th, 2005 at 6:34 pm
isn’t that some kind of time management steve covey kind of thing?
December 14th, 2005 at 7:22 pm
“Randon tampons”
also this looks like radon tampons which sounds like something I’d get an mass e-mail about. so let’s not give the hippie anti-tampon goddess people something else to fret about.
ARE THERE GASEOUS RADIOACTIVE ELEMENTS IN YOUR TAMONS?
KEEP YOUR ISOTOPES OUT OF MY p***y!!!
i can just see it now…
December 14th, 2005 at 7:46 pm
Mairce…you once suggested that I might, in fact, be your fiance posing as a New York lawyer…However, with each of your posts, I am beginning to believe that YOU are ME posing as a grad student from Indiana….
Great minds think alike…and aside from our one, notable disagreement (which I have put behind me…sort of *wink*), you and I are in almost uncanny and slightly unnerving agreement on almost all other issues raised here.
Oh yeah…the radon-laced tampons bit…genius.
PS: The line which beags quoted IS from a movie, not some self-help guru wannabe. I will find it some day, and post it here.
December 14th, 2005 at 7:47 pm
Now…if only I could get my email address to mair without posting it for all the world to see, we might embark upon a lifelong friendship….
December 14th, 2005 at 7:54 pm
beags…Al Franken in his 2002 commencement speech at Harvard attributed that quote to late Massachusetts Senator Paul Tsongas….that said, I am sure I’ve heard it in a movie and/or TV show.
Until I find it, as Willow once said, “I shall Google til I just can’t Google no more.”
December 14th, 2005 at 8:00 pm
is it from Office Space?
paul tsongas is from the city that i am from
slightlyem, you can contact me at mairceridwen@yahoo.com
it’s the address i used for public posting situations
December 14th, 2005 at 8:13 pm
Problem solved…see. Look for an email soon. (I filed my boring assed brief this morning at 8 AM, and am taking the day off….)
December 14th, 2005 at 10:16 pm
Oh gosh, i’m quoting liberals? Well, It’s true anyway.
December 15th, 2005 at 12:51 am
This is way off, but I just got home a little while ago and stuff and re: b’please (haha, fun and time saving…ish) my study hall teacher IS scary. Today, as a “nice holiday treat” she offered everyone cookies. A bunch of the people took some but I was frightened and backed away slowly. I wonder what she put in them… hmmm (radon, I bet). And maybe THEY’RE BOTH SLIGHTYEMBARRASED! Ah ha!
December 31st, 2005 at 5:21 pm
When I watched this episode, I was with a friend and had to tell her. It’s probably easy to miss because people are more concerned about what is going on outside the Bronze.
February 6th, 2006 at 9:18 am
I just reread that post I made above the last one and wondered to myself “What the fuck was I on?”
I miss Slightlyembarrased : (
February 6th, 2006 at 10:05 am
Me too. Too bad he got pissed and left us forever!
February 7th, 2006 at 1:42 am
I just read all the comments above for the first time. You are all too funny! Slightlyem should definitely come back.
