Welcome to The Soulful Spike Society Part 63 This is the main discussion thread for all things Jossverse and/or S'cubieverse. Keep it kind - remember we all have our favorite characters, and all have their merits, (though not as many merits as Soulful SPIKE) - and keep all spoilers for unaired episodes of Angel on the Spoiler thread.
If you are looking for excellent fanfiction, episode reviews, and Buffy analyses, check our website for all that and more at www.soulfulspike.com
Have fun!

I am first but take little satisfaction at it because it means I'm up at the disgustingly early hour (feeding the cats). Back to bed now--bye!

makd,
Well, I didn't figure out what you were thinking of, but it can't possibly be fruit.
Good lord, no! Wesley is British, no fruit for him!
He'll be meat and two veg!

Shanno Is "meat and two vegs" a British thing? "Meat and two veggies" is a very Southern thing here, but only if the two veggies are cooked in pork fat until they are so soft that no teeth are required for chewing...hhmmm, maybe that's why they are so overcooked. Good morning ladies! Sue (the transplanted Northerner making fun of the stereotype of toothless hillbillies)

Well, I've got to go catch up on the past few pages, but thought I'd report:
"The Eagle Has Landed."
(Dave just called.)
I didn't get details but something must not have gone smoothly because he got in so late last night that he didn't even get to register.
We will be meeting up for an early dinner. More later.
Sue

Sue (the transplanted Northerner making fun of the stereotype of toothless hillbillies) Yes, it's slang for the usual composition of a British dinner...and it's a naughty euphemism. Shanno

Shanno I don't think it's used that way here (but I probably wouldn't know if it were--"Everything I know about naughty euphemisms I Learned on the SoulfulSpike Board") but, of course, now I'll never be able to go to a "meat and three".....Wait, it's NOT meat and two, they call the Mom's home-cooking kitchens around here, "meat and threes" -- so, not the same. eewwwww... Sorry, Going now. Sue

"When correctly viewed, Everything is lewd". Shouldn't that be incorrectly viewed? Guess it depends on your point of view.

Thanks for pointing me in the direction of the Buffy Database.
I thought it was there and did look, but scanned too quickly.

Shanno,
I guessing the kiddies are perhaps watching Sat. morning TV? Surely not sleeping in? (You've only got about 14 years until your life changes dramatically)
I'm about to leave you to your lonesome. Weekends can be mighty slow around here. I'm going to try to get caught up on some RL work before dinner with Dave.
And it is absolutely gorgeous here (A full week of sun, high 70's--perfect Indian summer.) so probably ought to get outside.

While, as Sue correctly guessed, my kids are rotting their brains on Saturday morning TV, I'm doing the Ripper "research" thing and thought I'd share what I came up with. I've been reading fanfic (like I promised myself I wouldn't, but being weak-willed as well as obsessive, well, that's that) and running across some, if not quite incorrectly used, at least not exactly-used British slang phrases from the Spike characters. One that struck me as curious was his continual use of the word "bint" with reference to Dawn. The way I always heard it used was in a very derogatory way, almost as bad as the "C" word. Then again, I've heard guys fondly call each other "daft c*nt" (which blows my mind, but nevermind). I wondered whether *I* had the wrong end of the stick in assuming that Spike's calling Dawn (or anyone else he was supposedly fond of) a "bint". So I looked for some British slang sites so I could look up "bint" and here's what I found. I thought I'd share with everyone, especially the authors out there. It's quite the gold mine, actually. www.peevish.co.uk/slang/Shanno

"Dalton" is taken but maybe you should go with "Research S'cubie" and use Jenny Calendar as your avatar. (Now you know why I stick to numbers and not creative writing.) Off again. Sue

Shanno Actually, your punchline is funnier! Way to go, girl! Mine was: Wes doesn't have any fruit; his got eaten when they came to W&H.

Shouldn't that be incorrectly viewed? Guess it depends on your point of view. This whole train of thought also reminded me of one of Janet Evanovich's novels - Stephanie Plum is trying to cook dinner for herself and her grandma Mazur; she makes a meatloaf, boils two potatoes, assembles the meal on a pie plate (she owns no dishes) - and then the two of them look at the results (it's kind of a long meatloaf) and realize what it looks like... Meat and two veg indeed. And if the "meat" was a banger - you are all a bad influence on me, you really are!!!
