Look, you got a little stabbed the other day. That's bound to make anyone a mite ornery.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Was Joss once covered in lime juice? It's my turn to be confused.

What is even happening?

Yes. He burnt his hands pretty badly, thanks to it, P-C. It magnifies the sun's effect.

Now tagless for your comfort.

By the time Farscape was front and center on my radar, I knew it was all but over, and I didn't need to fall in love with yet another show that was going to be canceled. I do think it is something I'd like to watch somewhere down the line, though.

I was a Farscape fan before I was a Buffy fan. It was my first online fandom, too.

Strawberry disappointment.

Just another example of my failed show pimping to you Cindy. At least you've dipped your toe in Veronica Mars, but not in a dirty way you understand.

I shuold point out that ScorpyHarvey wasn't wearing the Hawaiian Shirt and Bunny Suit at the same time.

Unless the shirt was under the Bunny Suit.

When did this happen? I've never heard this crazy story.

You totally sold me on the show, UTTAD. But I'd had so many losses by that point, and knew I was in for some more. I'm pain averse. Scott and I do plan to buy the DVDs, someday. I think that we've now got all our Jossverse DVDs, Farscape is pretty high on our (totally unwritten) list.

And eww about the toe thing.

When did this happen? I've never heard this crazy story.
I can't remember exactly, but it was within the last few years. I bet if you google "Joss Whedon lime burn hands" you'll find it.

Oh, or maybe not. Darn, I can't remember what he was making, either. If I could, I bet I could find it.

Looks like the story was told at Comic-Con 2001:

After running around the floor like chickens with our heads cut off we had to run back upstairs to get Joss Whedon and his bandaged hands, it turns out that he had spilled lime juice and then went out in the sun, ouch!

Another account:

He didn’t drop any big information on Buffy the Vampire Slayer, but he did warn us about getting lime juice on your hands before laying out in the sun. Word of advice: don’t do it.

I wasn't really aware of the fandom in 2001, so the lime juice anecdote never reached me.

Silence! No one can speak unless they're holding...this pencil!

"Yes. He burnt his hands pretty badly, thanks to it, P-C. It magnifies the sun's effect."

Oh come on, now you're just making things up!

(just kidding - I just couldn't believe lime juice causes sunburns!)
