Name a blog!

BuffyFilter! I need a name for a blog about Buffy.
Calling all Buffy fans. Please suspend any and all criticism of how this may have already been done to death (because I know it has), but, let's say two friends were going to start a blog of episode reviews, critiques and random chatter about Buffy the Vampire Slayer (the television series, NOT the movie) and possibly Angel. It plans to be smart, interesting, fun and not take itself too seriously. It would also be a kind of point-counterpoint, which each contributer offering his/her opinions (rather than two people writing in one unified voice if you catch me).
What names would you suggest for the blog? Ideally it would be a play on a Buffyism. That said, we would think about something totally unrelated to a Buffyism if it was a rad idea. (Although a play on a quote, plotline, character or something else from the Buffyverse seems to be where we're headed).
We'd love any ideas that that would also be sort of descriptive of the blog, of criticism, of writing, etc. For example, "Strangely Literal," is a phrase taken from a line of dialog that fits well with the medium of blogging or with the idea of thinking about/critiquing a t.v. show. I don't know if that really gets the idea across. If it totally doesn't let me know and I will pipe in again.
I'm not sure if people would want credit for their idea if its used, but I don't see why that would be a problem.
I know this is a tall order so anything and everything is very appreciated.

on preview, they're probably just more cute catchphrases from the show than usable titles, but they might be helpful!

I like "It Must Be Tuesday." It's not a season-specific concept, it applies to all characters (as much as I love "we play for kittens," it's not a phrase that really applies to the cast as a whole) and it's slyly recognizable to fans without giving off a whiff of that Trek-eque we live in our made-up word Klingon is too a language feeling.

Response by poster: Thanks, desuetude, because "slyly recognizable to fans without giving off a whiff of that Trek-esque we live in our made-up word Klingon is too a language feeling" is actually precisely what I'm going for. I didn't do a great job of explaining that but you summed it up perfectly.
Please keep them coming! Even the ones that I won't end up using are great for sparking ideas.

Also, for the love of D'Hoffryn, include Angel in the blog!

My first inclination is 'Welcome To The Hellmouth,' but anything hellmouth related would be pretty effective in identifying its fandom. If I would name anything after a Buffy episode, it would be the creepiest episode ever, Hush [another link]. *shudder*
