Tim had to bring a petition to FOX to help convince them that DVDs would sell.
Gunn: Well, how horrible is this thing? Lorne: I haven't read the Book of Revelations lately, but if I was searching for adjectives, I'd probably start there.

[NAFDA] "There will be an occasional happy, so that it might be crushed under the boot of the writer." From Zorro to Angel (including Wonderfalls and The Inside), this is where Buffistas come to anoint themselves in the bloodbath.

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

I'm probably coming off as a humorless bitch.
Everyone knows I'm a very funny bitch.

Pretty much full time.
Actually my intent was to puzzle out some reason why FOX would act the way they do and to get a funny column out of it.
I also hoped that praising the show to the skies -- which I did, sight unseen, on faith -- would get people interested enough to look into it. It grew out of a conversation I was having last week with a coworker to whom I'd loaned my "Firefly" set. "You know, it's a lot easier to recommend a show when you can just hand it to somebody." That spawned the notion that this could be what FOX had in mind all along, and there I went.

Welcome, Chris. Maybe we will make a permanent buffista out of you yet.

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.
Isn't the separation painful?
Well, I'd think the separation of one ball from the other would be somewhat less painful than their initial detachment from the torso, but the lack of Y-chromosome regrettably prevents me from saying anything further with real authority.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Cutting balls off is wasteful. If you leave them attached, you can strike them to cause pain again and again.

Can't you do the same thing to the empty ball socket?

I don't think it's the same sort of pain. Of course, you could take steps to make sure it never heals, but I think you've removed the fun bits.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Silly me. I was thinking balls attached to body, in Tupperware.
So Chris, you don't mind if random strangers have you all fitted out in vacuum-sealed codpieces, do ya?
