A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

You mean technologically rude, since I can't imagine anyone doing this in a way that wouldn't piss off the people sitting nearby.

Still, a warning in the slug would be prudent.

Well, for some spoiler averse, a warning in thirty point font that slaps them in the face before they even click on the link is what's called for, but something in the slug will have to do.

Doesn't even saying that there's something spoilery in the movie constitute a spoiler?

Damn, I've been spoiled now. Thanks a lot Sean.

Just doin' my job, Ma'am.

Uh, sir.

Master. (bater)

Whichever's right.

I was dead at the time.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I think the light cast from my Treo would really anger the other patrons in the theatre if I tried to Watch and Post though.

If you set it for red text on a black background it would be less bothersome to others, plus it would screw up your night vision much less too.

The web browser in the Treo doesn't seem to have enough control to override the standard board colors. I suppose I could telnet into a server and then post to the board using lynx.

You could be the one-man W&P chronicling your on-the-scene thoughts and impressions for all Buffistaland to enjoy.

Or you could be all selfish, and watch the movie for your own entertainment.

I just got the following quote in the quote generator:

Faith: A kid. Angel's got a kid. Wesley: Connor: Faith: A teenage kid born last year. Wesley: I told you, he grew up in a hell dimension. Faith: Right. And what, Cordelia spent her last summer as… Wesley: A divine being. Faith: Uh-huh. Can I just ask--What the hell are you people doing?
'Salvage'

The colon after Connor's name is unnecessary (and a little confusing, if you don't know how to parse the exchange).

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Fixed.

We should probably post a warning in Press that Thar Be Spoilers, just in case people don't read the slugs. (Like me!)
