Prompt (Open on Sunday): Episode Titles - The Zeppo
Summary: If Dr. Seuss had written "The Zeppo"

As Xander is wondering
What it means to be cool,
His uncle's old car
Leads him straight to a ghoul.

Will's late night dreams
Mean she can't be her best
When she's naked and vulnerable
And late for a test.

Guy with a car
No need for bling
It isn't a metaphor
It's just Xander's *thing*.

Comes out of the grave
An old bud, not a stranger.
The first thing he wants:
Walker, Texas Ranger.

The secrets belong
To time and dark regions.
Unfortunately for Xander
The zombies are legion.

Always open for crime.
A car sure is cool.
“I love you” from Willow
“Let's kill him” – O'Toole.

She's ready to pop.
He gives into her charms.
Antithetical moment.
His clothes in his arms.

Nothing can change that,
No not even death.
When Xander coughs
They each catch their breath.

Don't love your chances.
Who has less fear?
I like the quiet,
Don't mind if death's near.

Real face was scary
But Angel's okay.
World saveage unknown,
Xander smiles, turns away.

Note: When Xander coughs, they each catch their breath. That refers to my favorite thing about the episode. Everything not directly dealing with Xander is just a little over the top. This is epitomized when he finds Buffy and Angel. The music is a bit to schmaltzy as is the dialog. When Xander coughs, it all just stops. And of course it picks up again after he's walked away.

And again - AWW! You are awwwwwesome)
And I love that interrupted bangel moment, too. (Ok, it's probably the only S3 bangel moment I actually like.)

Thank you!

Roomie is out, presumably until after midnight. The house is mine! *does happy dance and gets offline*

Thanks. I got a couple of requests for another Dr. Seuss-like story and it gave me a chance to revisit my favorite episode.

YAY, you did it! Now I am definitely going to have to rematch that episode.

It is a great episode to rewatch. *grin*

Yippee, another Dr Seuss episode! This deserves an actual Vamp in a Hat:



(This is from an Angel comic cover by Jenny Frison.)

This icon is MADE OF WIN.

Awesome cropping, sweetie.

[double_dutchess]

Thank you!

[dragonyphoenix.livejournal.com]

That is a most excellent icon. Thanks for sharing!

I just realized which cover this is from. Unexpected that I've seen it since I don't follow the comics but someone must have posted it. Yes, RSD is right, excellent cropping. You took an annoying cover and created an awesome icon.

[double_dutchess]

Thank you! I agree the icon shows the best part of the cover (not a fan of the diapers myself).

(not a fan of the diapers myself). Big ditto.

I loved this one as well. (And I totally agree with you about the interrupted Bangel moment; I was so fed up with the Bangel melodrama by that point, it was kind of nice to see the writers spoof their own excesses.)

[dragonyphoenix.livejournal.com]

I totally adore the spoofing in this episode. *huge grin*

And thanks, I'm glad you enjoyed my episode rewrite. ;-)

Excellent icon by the way.

[punch-kicker15.livejournal.com]

spikesredqueen made the icon and it is most excellent indeed. :)
