[QUOTE=SkipMagic] Sunnydale, California. It’s _possible_ that I might get killed by a demon/vampire/Three’s Company robot/drunk neaderthal, but I also might get into some band candy and score with a hot mom. So, it’s a wash. [/QUOTE] This was my answer. And hey, if you get killed by a vampire, there’s a chance you’d get turned and be immortal. ---

Stuckeyville, OH. Good bowling, oddly named eateries, and that charming small town feel. Watch out for locals dressed in suits of armor, asking for let-toose at the store, or hurling pancakes onto roofs. ---

Whatever town the Addams Family lived in, but I’d have to live right next door to them or it wouldn’t be any fun. Then maybe I could sneak in and steal the samurai statue and armour I’ve lusted after since I was a little kid. Unless Lurch or Thing caught me. T ---

You guys are gonna be SO jealous! I do live in Stuckeyville, OH. Well, I actually live in Westfield, NJ, where the opening sequences were filmed. The big white church and all that? Right here. It is a pretty town. But we don’t actually have a bowling alley. ---

As both Rory and Luke demonstrate on multiple occasions, the way to handle to him is simply stand up to him tell him you’re not taking his shit (Rory’s way) or to make it clear that if he says one more word, you will beat the living daylights out of him. ---

[QUOTE=Fiver] It wouldn’t be you, though. Your soul would go into limbo while a demon spirit takes over. Your car, another driver. [/QUOTE] Pshaw. I saw Angel and Spike pre- and post-soul. I think they just say that to keep the humans from asking to be vamped. I mean, you vamp everyone who asks, and you soon run out of little Happy Meals with legs.
