Aren't they something. They're like butterflies, or little pieces of wrapping paper blowing around.

See, I think I got distracted by the Lost thread proposal that came right after that. So, it's all good.

No other candidate is asking the hard questions, like "Did geophysicists assassinate Jim Henson?" or "Why is there hydrogen in America's water supply?" --defective yeti

Swedish is linguistically pretty close to English, and most Swedes I've met have a pretty easy time wraping their heads around idomatic English.

A Swede I met told me it's because they show American TV shows there with subtitles, so if you start watching TV before you learn how to read... it's easy.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

Hmm. I thought I'd heard they show American programming without subtitles.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

A Whedonesque question...

I thinks it's a little creepy when stuff Tim says here becomes a news item at Whedonesque.

Caroline, Whedonesque's site owner, doesn't like the circular links on the blog anymore.

Are we still in agreement that we don't want links directly to Tim's posts (or any of our posts) on Whedonesque?

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

I thinks it's a little creepy when stuff Tim says here becomes a news item at Whedonesque.

Why? Isn't that Whedonesque's purpose?

I don't mind except for server load and bandwidth issues.

Have we been Whedonesqued on the dedicated server?

Why do I get creeped out?

I always feel a little buffered because our threads aren't googleable. If Tim makes an announcement here about a show cancellation/pickup, it's certainly news to his fans. But on the slippery slope, is a conversation about Paglia/closer to the earth/FCM Founding Fathers/whether getting a period makes women grow up faster than boys...is all of that a link at Whedonesque because Tim is participating in the conversation?

There's a difference, in my mind, between a conversation between friends, and what Tim does for a living.

It'd change the way I interact in that thread if I thought a debate about the differences between men and women became fodder for Whedonesque linkage.
