'Underneath'


The Minearverse 3: The Network Is a Harsh Mistress  

[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.

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

Ew. Someone on another board just (trustingly) reposted a "Tim"@CHUD post. Tim Minear "The Minearverse 3: The Network Is a Harsh Mistress" Dec 8, 2004 9:49:28 pm PST and Tim Minear "The Minearverse 3: The Network Is a Harsh Mistress" Dec 8, 2004 9:51:27 pm PST conflated.

I reposted the originals for her.

If I only had a brain...

Pflumph. And our theme for today is People: Still Suck.

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

Hopefully, it wasn't the post where FauxTim claims to have women lined up around the block to service him.

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.

Wait, that wasn't the real Tim I met in that dark alley?

Curse my sudden but inevitable blowjob of shame.

The artist formerly associated with cupcakes.

You all sound like goths. Amusingly, slightly confused goths.

Hey now! Hey now now, sing this corrosion to me ...

I still don't understand why people would post pretending to be Tim, but I've been told I'm charmingly naive about those sorts of things.

What is even happening?

I would never pretend to be Tim. Too much blood on my hands. Now Joss, or the beagles...typing beagles with opposable thumbs.

Of course.

Sure I went over to the Dark Side, but just to pick up a few things.

What came first: The post about the beagles:

Q. What's YBMV?
A. Your beagle may vary. It comes from the following lunge and parry:

Tim Minear - A.3.3246: "My beagle went swimming today and now he's typing on my keyboard with his ample nose. Oh, and he's the bestest handsomeest beagle EVER."

David J. Schwartz - A.3.3302: "I don't know if I believe that Tim has a beagle. I have a beagle and he doesn't swim. YBMV. (That's Your Beagle May Vary, in case you're heading for the FAQ.)"

OR

The mention of beagle droppings in episode "Safe" in Firefly?

If I only had a brain...

You know, given the abstract concept* of the male refractory period, any such line is going to be really, really tedious. Bring a good book.

  • I say "abstract concept" because I am not discussing the r.p. of any particular male, real or imaginary.

Betsy, is there a context for that? If the answer is beagles, don't tell me.

eta: beathen, Tim had beagles before they got shouted out to.

A One that isn't cold, is scarcely A One at all.

Since we're expounding on how people suck, some people should leave the funny to the funny people because forced funny is scarcely funny at all.

And if you think it pertains to you then it probably does.
