Check this out! I just came across a newspaper article in which I’m quoted about Roald Dahl… except I never spoke to the reporter. He simply lifted some quotes from my Frequently Asked Questions page and made it sound like I had been interviewed. A bit sneaky of him, don’t you think?

Spike quit smoking. Well, James Marsters did anyway. I kinda hope they don’t make the character quit, though. It’s bad enough that they made him all nice now; at least let us watch him smoke and imagine that he’s still a badass. And hello? He sings? B, we are so there. (Link courtesy of Fresh…
