All is well that ends in pizza.

Hold up. You're Bruinsfan!

Chuckling at P-C's revelation. I've run into this syndrome with Buffistas on occasion. "Wait! That's______!" is inevitable with a community as multifacited as the Buffistas.

P-C, you thought there were two different gay male Lost and Angel fans that are obsessed enough with Boston Bruins hockey to take their screen names from the team? I'm afraid it's a demographic of one.

For the record, Allyson and Anya also post to the Angel boards over there on occasion, and Jengod used to until they banned her.

Heh. I don't think I ever picked up on the gay part on TWoP, and I have no idea why I never even considered the Bruins connection. I guess I didn't think it was that odd.

Huh. What's Allyson's name? I don't know Anya.

and Jengod used to until they banned her.

The coiner of HoYay!? What'd she do?

I'm not sure if I should post their screen names without checking that it's OK first. What's the protocol on that, folks?

I think Jengod's kerfluffle was over something she said on The West Wing board that challenged a moderator's opinion, though I was never clear on the specifics.

the Bruins connection. I guess I didn't think it was that odd.

There aren't even that many of those. Bruins' fans, that is. Leave aside the gay male Lost fan aspects of it. Heh. I miss hockey.

Yeah, I wouldn't post usernames. They can do it if they want to. I used to maintain separate fandom identities on different boards.

Does anyone know - are they permanently doing the ending late thing with Lost? I just have a feeling I'm going to want this one on tape.

(And I'm supposed to tape WW for a family member, but I will sacrifice the first minute of their viewing pleasure with no compunction if I need to. I'm cold like that.)

Yep, JenP. It's scheduled to run long all the time.

Thanks, P-C.

And also, grrrr. That's annoying.

Oh, by the way, I found a way to get around the lack of option to record '1 minute later' on TiVo, for those of you wanting to record Jack and Bobby or TWW at 9 pm.

Basically, you use the Manual Recording option:

- On "Pick Programs to Record" screen, select "Record by Time or Channel"

- Select "Manually Record Time/Channel"

- Select "Repeating", "Every Wed", and the channel your next show's on.

- On "Start Time" on the bottom left, select "9:05 pm" (it only lets you go 9:00, 9:05, 9:10, etc) and select 10:00 pm as the end time.

- After you select that as a "season pass" (Which would read as "Manual: Jack and Bobby" for example), you can go to the season pass option and opt to start recording "4 minutes earlier", which will let TiVo change the channel at 9:01.

It's damned cumbersome, and doesn't let the machine screen out the hiatus/repeats, but at least I don't have to remember to change the channel afterward.

(Edited to fix wonky formatting.)

Also, beathen, I've sent you an email to your profile addy re. translation.

Is that why West Wing never records? Fuck.
