What is even happening?

Seconded, just to get the conversation out of hypotheticalville, although I plan to start watching this Fall.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

As much as I'd love to get the VM talk out of Boxed Set (selfish-- I don't watch it), didn't we already vote no on a VM thread? How long is the moratorium, six months? (Note: I have no idea how long it's been since we had the Big TV Vote.)

Ficht nicht mit Der Raketemensch!

That vote was October last year, I think.

Swouncing

Oh, I actually just started watching "Veronica Mars"! It's shown here on a cables channel that I don't have, and a friend who has it started taping it and convincing me I have to watch so that she has somebody to discuss the show with, because she felt lonely in her love.

Of course, I won't be able to participate in the proposed thread, if it ever ends up existing, because I won't be watching in "real time" with you guys (yup, I'm still too prude to download episodes. Sigh), and I'll avoid any conversation due to spoilers-to-me, so it's not like my opinion on the matter has any meaningful meaning. But I just had to post the meMeME (or is it "meMeME too"?).

[Edit: so that my post has actual content:

That vote was October last year, I think.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

didn't we already vote no on a VM thread?

No. There was a poll to see what shows had enough interest to warrant a formal proposal for a thread. Yeah, it was a bit of a sneaky workaround, but it's been six months anyway so it's a moot point.

Oh, then nevermind.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

We have enough seconds, so I've opened Lightbulbs.

If someone knows they're going to be without internet access during a vote, can the person vote ahead of time, or did we just decide that sometimes, you're out of town, and don't vote?

Our wings are not tired.

I don't see why the person couldn't drop a note to the vote counter in advance. Absentee voting makes sense.

Absentee voting makes sense.

Says the woman from Florida.

(oh, come on... someone was gonna go there)

Also, I'd think that could be allowable. I mean, it'd still be one vote/one Buffista.
