us spoiler ho's who have altered their CSS so that spoilerfont shows up grey instead!

Hey, what a cool use of that. Also, I approve of your punctuation of the word ho's. The other day I was trying to submit a suggestion to my factory's suggestion box regarding actual hoes, and it would have been a lot easier to sound professional if everyone knew the alternate punctuation. Can all you grammar crusaders make "hoes" and "ho's" the next "its" and "it's"?

that's close to my own tinhatted notion

Ooh, I think I'd like the first act much better if that were true. Like beth says, it's great to be speculating again.

Has anyone (amych, was it?) noticed that Dr. Horrible's supervillain costume is actually a fencing outfit? So in some ways, it's like a very conspicuous disguise.

Is part three out today? If not, how will I see it? I have dial up at home!

Maybe I will come into work tomorrow, just to watch pt three.

it starts tonight at midnight, Sue. i guess you'll have to make a special trip. unless you just want to stay at work that long.

I suppose i'm one of the few who found part I funnier than part II. that's okay. part III will probably be the best.

Also, I approve of your punctuation of the word ho's.

see, it's this kind of thing that makes me weep for the future. POSSESSIVE IS NOT PLURAL. (please note the correct use of "it's", i.e. "it is")

I'm not sure I've ever gotten involved in grammar/punctuation issues before. But I'd think "ho's" might be acceptable under the rule that allows apostrophes to indicate omitted letters (e.g., "att'n"). However, since "ho" is short for "whore," you really should say 'ho' and 'ho's.

I have noticed something remarkable about Felicia Day. She has a very flat head.

Must be why she wore all those hats on Buffy.

Yes! Now, if you want to indicate the the ho is is the process of doing something, say, "the ho's going to the sto", then we have no issue.

But I'd think "ho's" might be acceptable under the rule that allows apostrophes to indicate omitted letters (e.g., "att'n"). However, since "ho" is short for "whore," you really should say 'ho' and 'ho's.

True. I shall attempt to use more apostrophes in the future.

This I approve of. I am putting away my hanky.

(Sorry, skipping and ignoring ongoing conversations and posting. I apologize.)

So, at first I thought I wouldn't get to watch "Dr. Horrible" due to my crazy-close deadline ( Billy may have a PhD in horribleness just thanks to a little plastic bag of goo smelling like cumin (sp?), but I don't think I have the goggles or the laughter to even try to pull that off in 10 days ). But, as my parentheses just showed (I am in a whitefonted discussion! ME! For probably the first time ever!), after a sleepless night with an extremely uncooperative computer, I decided to give myself this treat before shabbat. I had a blast.

And then, I had to babble. Because, um, well, there are no graphs or equations I can have around this whole thing, so words are all I'm being left with. And, I guess, music - but, being me, music is more like magic to me than any matter transporters (after all, electrons do that on a regular basis) or freeze rays (unlike anything else, I know of, but hey, the seminar I wrote on time travel was a few years ago, who knows what changed since).

Music, for me, is magic. I can't hold a note to save my life (or even the lives of those dear to me), I can't even hear when somebody doesn't manage to sing right, I have no idea how this beautiful and complicated language works, what are its rules, its grammar, its puns and poetry and prose. I have no words - in any other language - to describe what's going on with it, other than "Pretty!" "Loud" or "Yay!"or "No, please". So even before the very first note, I'm already in awe of anybody who can write, read, speak or rhyme in music. It's just like magic. I'm already sold (even though, sadly enough, I know too few musicals).

Oh, and before we go on, I just wanna make sure y'all are fairly warned (um, just in case somebody managed to forget, since I'm so sparse lately on the board) - I'm the sappiest sap who ever sapped the earth. If there were a superhero who could save the world by being sappy, they'd have to choose me for he role (though I can't think of any matching outfit). And it's affecting everything. It can't be avoided. Continue to this mess of words and sap and no protecting gloves at your own risk. I can't do more than warn you, I'm sorry.

Oh, and one last "Oh" - I'm afraid I know nothing of the whole superheroes and supervillains and comics and flying capes and who was born with his power and who got it by accident and who doesn't want it at all and who fought for it and what each of that means - all I know is that there's a whole world of this. I don't know how to read comic books (I never seemed to find the proper balance between the pictures and the words), and I know I miss great stories this way, but, again, I just don't seem to speak the language.

I mean, I know that there's Superman (with a cape and a blue and red, and I probably never saw any of the movies), and Spiderman (with other reds and blues, and again, never reading or seeing anything), and Batman (with a different set of colors for his suit, and even less reading and being exposed to anything about him other than several Buffistas' deep love of his stories). In fact, the one superhero story that I am sure I was exposed to was "The Amazing Adventures of Cavalier and Klay". Which I loved-loved-loved, but still never managed to speak the language of comics. Sigh. So I'm probably going to express some staggering amounts of ignorance, and, again, you are warned.

No, wait, one more thing. About babbling. Despite lacking the ability to shut my keyboard up, I do realize what this Sing-Along-Blog is. It's for fun. I laughed all throughout the thing and had such a great time. But you know what? It also had an actual story in there. I'm only half not-serious, all throughout watching, because I don't think the so-funny (and, oh, it was so funny!) would be indeed so perfect, for me, if there weren't an actual story behind it,with actual characters and emotions. I'm a sap, remember? So if you think I'm over-reaching, seeing things that aren't there or just (continued...)
