Well, a gathering is brie, mellow song stylings; shindig, dip, less mellow song stylings, perhaps a large amount of malt beverage, and hootenanny, well, it's chock full of hoot, just a little bit of nanny.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

The newbie doesn't know where the new thread-title picking is done these days. Here?

Bureaucracy, just like what's her name set it up for back on TT.

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.

We're going through posts pretty quickly, Allyson. I'm having problems keeping up (but then, I was the last one at the sports day run every year at school).

Speaking of which - bed time. Todoloo.

"Either it's murder, or this library has a very strict overdue policy."

Can we bait Adam into doing that?

Please don't. You can go visit him at the OB, if you'd like.

It was more of "is it possible since he doesn't hang out here" kind of question. I don't bait people with political issues -- ever.

To stear this away from political drivel: I can't wait to se how long it will take before Paul gets the Wesley-manuvere. Sure, he's "broken" like all of them, but he's the nicest.

Okay, now that you mention it, I do seem to recall that Pamie hated WF.

I didn't so much mind her hating it—I never showed an episode to my mom because she would loathe it with a burning hatred matched only by that she feels for Mary Poppins—it was that Pamie's recaps read like commentary for the blind in Ben Stein's voice. Even when Strega and Demian hate shows, they tend to bust on them entertainingly rather than opting for the "misery loves company" approach of trying to bore their readers to death.

But WF wasn't universally hated by TwoP posters. The only hard numbers I can quote are from the cancellation reaction poll, where 17% of 3158 respondents chose "Bummer." and 63% chose "Nooooooo!"

I am just putting together screen caps (only 4, don't batter me copyright people) and I've noticed something interesting frame by frame skipping bits of the episode. Ice cream man, amongst other things, has single frame inserts.

I've always thought that the problem with TWoP was the obvious bitterness of many of it's recappers. I got the impression that so many of them really wanted to be writing TV, but they weren't, so they decided to bash the hell out of it instead.
