Buffistas

Now, I can hold a note for a long time...actually I can hold a note forever. But eventually that's just noise. It's the change we're listening for. The note coming after, and the one after that. That's what makes it music.

I'm in corner area of Lyra, Kat, and Beverly for this one, oh, and with a side of Nutty. Ultimatley, though, when I'm not in the mood for it, I can just scroll.

I thought "Older than Jesus" was funny, but I would prefer not to offend. Most days.

Also don't think "I'm offended by that," is anything to apologize for, Cindy.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

I have to confess. I don't get why the phrase "Older than Jesus" is considered disrespectful or offensive. The nailing one, yes. But the age thing I just don't understand.

Kind of my take too, though I'm not keen on offending Cindy.

This was my thinking when I mentioned disrespect, but I didn't want to get into trying to define why one mention of Jesus seemed disrespectful to me and the other didn't and then I just never got back to the conversation in time.

FWIW, I really like the thread naming - it makes us distinctive and it shows off the cleverness of buffistas.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

forced Beverly to propose it.

Nobody puts Bevvie in the corner. I'm opinionated, not matrimonial, no proposing was done or intended. I also enjoy the clever, but not the snippiness that inevitably seems to spring up around the clever. I'm just a little tired, and got my cranky on.

Nutty - Mar 24, 2005 8:43:33 am PST #4152 of 10001

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."

a side of Nutty.

Is this better or worse than Beverly being put in a corner??

Am I like a wunnerful potato-salad side, or am I like a side of beef waiting to be chopped up?

I was charmed (albeit somewhat perplexed) by the fannish sensibility of many of the music choices -- it's like the director was trying to vid Canada. --loligo on the Olympic Opening Ceremonies

I'm with Jen on all of this, FWIW.

No, you were the post I read after having read the other three, but then checking to see if anyone else had chimed in before I hit post, eventually. No chopping, I swear. An added bonus, more like.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

I don't care what this Natter thread is called really (though I would rather not look at "to be named later" for 10,000 posts) but I would like to keep naming them.

eta: I would support ita's suggestion to let the stompy who sets up the thread choose from what people have suggested. That seems to be what happens a lot anyway.

Our wings are not tired.

I would support ita's suggestion to let the stompy who sets up the thread choose from what people have suggested.

This works for me. There are usually a number of acceptable suggestions. Name it. It won't last long if it wasn't your pick.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Also, Stompies do all kinds of scutwork and this might be kinda fun for them.
