Being a creature accursed in THE LORD'S syghte, the vampyre cannot pass a pile of small colourful objects, nay, but that he first be compelled to stop and count and correctly order them, ere he continue his pursuit of his victimme. For years, Spike had hoped to meet someone who would try this, but it seemed even hippies were a bit skeptical of that one (or maybe just really reluctant to let go of any seeds or pills they might be carrying).

Very likely! I've always wondered what the rationale was for this, it still makes no sense to me.

Heh about the cube and the walkman :D
