Nancy-boy Ninjas

[raven]

So, at the Blue Moon Party I came up with a randomn phrase. It fizzed. It sparkled. It rolled off the tongue. Naturally, I decided it couldn't be my work alone. I asked everyone I could think of. I googled. In quotes. Nothing. I came to the reluctant conclusion that it was a product of my deranged brain.

Tonight, I watched the Buffy season 4 episode A New Man. This is not a non sequitur.

In the slashiest scene ever (more about that later), Giles is drunk and holding forth. The dialogue:

"You know what gets me? This is what gets me. Twenty years I've been fighting demons. Maggie Walsh and her nancy ninja boys come in; six months later, demons are pissing themselves with fear. They never even noticed me."

I never saw it before tonight, I swear! I ask you - whawhahuh?

Bother, where have you been? Have you done anything with the pictures I sent you? Or have you not had time? We ought to sort it out at some point.

Expect an email late tonight. And that is all I am saying on the matter. :)

le woo.

that really is the slashiest scene ever...

Amen to that! I particularly love the way it cuts to Willow and Tara and then back to Giles and Ethan - implication much? :)

Eerie. Chances are, of course, someone you know who watches Buffy dropped it into conversation at some point in the past-- perhaps not remembering themselves where it was from, since Buffy slang slips in like that, and perhaps quite some time ago-- you registered it unconciously, and dragged it up at the party. And you'd have found it if you got the phrase exact, as you shuffled the word-order around a little.

Not proof of you mystical telepathtic connection with Joss Whedon, I'm afraid. Odd, though.

Odd indeed. No mystical telepathic connection, but it's good to have the mystery solved at last.

And, yes! A New Man is a rather wonderful episode! The subtext is so blatant, it's amazing - and isn't it fitting that this is the first time Willow and Tara are spellcasting together?

And then, there is a great deal of random cuteness - Giles spending so long with a feather duster in his mouth, for one thing. Hee.

Especially if you subscribe to my "W/T argues for G/E" theory. And yes, the feather dust verily is amusing.

But-- you've seen A New Man! Isn't a rather wonderful episode?

Ohhhh, I new you'd love that episode *grins* Is that not the slashiest scene of all time? Yes, yes I think it is.

[loneraven.livejournal.com]

*giggles* It really is. And the slash is so blatant; it's as painfully close to canon as it could be without actually being canon. If that makes sense.

And I approve of your icon. :)
