made of win!
Una, that's the second time I've read you writing that. Did I miss a definition somewhere? It sounds like something with a good story behind it.
How's it sit? Pretty cunning, don'tchya think?

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
The phrase "made of win"? I think it's just one of those...things. I forget where I picked it up, but I like it.

Oh, it was you P-C? I wondered if it had a Buffista origin like the use of 'wrod' or a child comment or something like that.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.
I have DVDs! Yay!

I think I've used it recently too, yeah. I don't think it's a Buffista-specific term.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
No, "made of win" (and its counterpart "made of fail") is definitely not Buffista origin. I asked for its etymology here once, and no one knew. But I think it's in general geek circulation.

Hm, "made of fail" doesn't roll of the tongue as well. It's the dueling f's.

That's because they left an L out, it should be "made of flail."

when i die, please bake my ashes into a brick and use me to hit fascists.
Yeah, I think I randomly picked it up off of LiveJournal or something. (I've also recently picked up "FTW!" from Wil Wheaton, which I then had to go look up--"for the win!".) I have this verbal (vocabularial?) osmosis thing. If I've been reading Diana Gabaldon I'll start typing more Scots...
Also, yay DVDs! I don't know why the case is quite so fat, but the art is about 1000% better, so yay! Also, I didn't think I could love the cast more, but the cast commentary just made me flail. It's too bad Summer's so quiet, because she didn't really say much and her take on things would have been interesting.
In another two years, will we get another with commentary from Morena, Sean, Jewel, Alan, and Gina? I'll totally buy it.
