So, how was your summer? Mine was fun. Saw some fish. Went mad with hunger. Hallucinated a whole bunch.

[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.

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.

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

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.

Lines around the block for blowjobs.

Actually the lines made no mention of blowjobs. If that helps.

Thanks. I feel correct now.

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.

Yes, I know, I stole a funny Firefly line and sullied it with un-funnyness. It'll come back to haunt me one day.

(Officially not Tim Minear. Nor funny.)

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

Actually the lines made no mention of blowjobs.

Nope. Perhaps FauxTim meant that women were lined up to service his Mercedes.

Though, I've driven past Tim's block many times and saw no signs of these Jiffy Lube mechanics with no Y chromosomes lined up with socket wrench in hand.
