What is even happening?

I think bon is right about his confusion with the term "buffistas" though.
Me, too. Actually, I've seen it used (occasionally) long before the Phoenix board existed, or before I was introduced to the community at WX, as a general Buffy-fan collective noun. Whether or not it was before J H-M used it at TT, I do not know.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

Ok, ok, I'ma go do laundry but I ain't taking responsibility for the results.

I hope not, because the phrase "Do not startle the buffistas" cracks me up so much I really want that to be the origin.

I can't even.

I was talking about the Buffistas at Whedonesque being lukewarm 'Browncoats'. Their one true love is Joss Whedon. Close second: Buffyverse. They watched Firefly out of loyalty to Joss, not because the show captivated them on its own merit.

What an arrogant prat. Perfect example of the sort of dweeb that gives fans a bad name (not that his alien punctuation adversary seems any better). I'd happily see Allyson tear chunks off him.

Aimee, if I mail you all the clean stuff, will you fold it?

Sure! I like folding.

This sentence makes me wanna ask if REAL Firefly fans watched the show out of loyalty to the commercials and not because the show captivated them on its own merit. Cuz, seriously, how many people just stumbled into watching the show with nothing to introduce them to it? I'm sure a few people DID, by way of channel surfing or walking into a room where the tv was already on (and I wonder how many of THOSE who had the tv already on were buffistas?), but the percentage has to be relatively small.

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

Meh. No point in leaving the bleachers.

gets out a big box and starts addressing it, then realizes that hauling the laundry all the way down to the post office might be more of a production than is really worth it.

Ah well, thanks anyway, Aimee.

ETA: close tag.
