Stupid Irish jewellery, uses of:
This, by the way, is all the Miriglum's fault, for texting me during the early hours to say that, in Buffy's place, she wouldn't be so quick to discard rings with the power to make naked Angel fall from the ceiling. This naturally lead to a conversation about where such magical Angel-summoning rings could be aquired, but in the end we were forced to abandon the idea due to my conviction that such actions would lead to the summoning of Fat!Xander and my untimely and very painful death.
The moral of this story is that you should never, ever wear stupid Irish jewellery, or you might get crushed to death by Fat!Xander falling on you from a great height.
I think I just found the perfect gift idea for Hex's birthday.
Wesley's spine-collecting activities:
Cast your minds back to the halcyon days of Angel S2. It was a golden age, full of snarkiness, Barry Manilow and Angel's please-don't-seduce-me face. And Steve, of course.
But more importantly, this was the point at which Wesley went from annoying git who had the audacity to replace Doyle, to a character who (until replaced by the Robowes in season 3) was likable, amusing and possessed of an actual backbone.
Where did this backbone come from, you ask? Well, the only possible answer is that Wesley stole it from someone else. Who this first victim was is unknown, but it seems likely that this was merely the begining in a long career of spine-stealery, later continued by the Robowes.
Certainly by "That Old Gang Of Mine", Wesley was sporting a shiny new spine, as demonstrated by his speech to Gunn at the end of the episode. But secretly, his misappropraited spine had been in place long before this: sending the rebels off to die in Pylea, and telling Meanie!Angel to get out during the whole Darla fiasco, not to mention his (hilarious) Angel impersonation in "Guise Will Be Guise" - although that could have been The Coat controlling him, in much the same way Gravitation's Hatre is controlled by his Hat.
Alas, one spine was not enough, and Wesley soon began a downward spiral of spine-stealage. While Gunn's sudden change in attitude in season 3 could have been due to Fred's personality-sucking influence, it could also have been the work of that master spine-stealer, Wesley. Kidnapping Baby!Connor under the pretense of the doomful prophecy was also clearly Robowes attempting to steal his spine without Angel noticing (though anyone who falls for the Evil Hand line is obviously too dense to notice his son's new-found spinelessness, and is yet another example of the Robowes malfunctioning).
The Robowes continued this legacy until the very end, and, late in season five, took on an apprentice in the form of Illyria, as evidenced by her "I will make trophies of their spines!" line in "Not Fade Away". You may think it was just Blue!Fred's usual posturing, but in fact, these spines were intended as a peace offering to the Robowes.
Angelus Concentrate
With the recent announcement of an exclusive, limited edition Faith collectable plate being released to compliment the forthcoming Angel collectable plate series, I have reached the conclusion that the Angel Merchandising Fools are planning to release a whole range of kitchenware and foodstuffs, turning Angel into something akin to the Hello Kitty franchise.
With this in mind, we bring you: Angelus Tabasco Sauce.
Yes, that's right, sprinkle neat over salads or pizza for a full-on Angelus experiance, or dilute with soul and tomatoes for a truly Angelic pasta dish.
Because frankly, the sort of people who make Wesley collectable plates will stop at nothing.
