I like your amended last bullet, Lyra. Less threatening. And in fact, I'd change the last line:
Please think before you post.
to:
Please think before you post that sort of thing.
But YBMV.
Xander: Hey, Red. What you got in the basket, little girl? Buffy: Weapons.

We talk a lot. Most of our ramblings are in the Natter threads, but almost any thread is fair game. Exceptions include Sunnydale Press, our general announcements thread, and Apocalypse, our personal announcements thread. Misplaced Natter may be deleted.
Natter is discouraged in this thread too, but not deleted. We've just been a bit slack lately.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

This is true for all the left-hand threads (except Press and Beep Me, natch), and definitely deserves to be mentioned.

Ann, that's a ferret.
While we may occasionally mention Buffy or Buffista-related goods, please don't spam us. Thanks. Besides, we all have large penises already.
Maybe amend the last sentence to make it a little more inclusive? Maybe to "Besides, we all have large penises (or breasts, where appropriate) already."
Assuming that breast-augmentation spam is common.

I think the joke of the line is its lack of inclusiveness, since many of us are women (but have large penises anyway).
(I have never received breast augmentation spam. I guess if you can actually do it, you don't spam for it).

Not having has never been the thing I've regretted most in my life. Not trying is.
The penis one is more common. And indiscriminately sprayed across the email landscape.
I like the funny of the assumption that the size of my penis needs enlarging.

What flea said. (And I've never seen breast augmentation spam either -- if there are breasts in my spam, they're usually attached to barlY leg111al t33nz copier oatmeal waterpik.)

Yup.

OK. I'll withdraw the comment.

Ditto.
(I was going to clarify that "ditto" but I think I'll let it stand on its own)
