Would someone please explain rot13 to me?
Um, well, we listened to aggressively cheerful music sung by people chosen for their ability to dance. Then we ate cookie dough, and talked about boys.

Is it better the second time around? Or the third? Or tenth? This is the place to come when you have a burning desire to talk about an old episode that was just re-run.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
Looks like a simple substitution code

Mark is as anti-spoiler as you can possibly be. But some people just can't help themselves so they use rot13 to post spoilers in the comments at Mark Reads and Watches.

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

It just moves each letter 13 spaces up. A becomes N, B becomes O, and so on. With LeetKey, you can create a keyboard shortcut to decode highlighted text, and there are various javascripts that will decode with more clicking.

Letters are rotated 13 characters.
It was used on Usenet to discuss spoilers or other topics not everyone wanted to see.

Oh, okay, thanks. For some reason I was expecting something more complicated.

Oooh, that's a nifty add-on, P-C. I was getting tired of copying and pasting into rot13.com.

As was I! It's a godsend. You can highlight entire conversations in rot13 and boom, read them.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!
I'm feeling the urge to get an episode ahead of mark and guess what he is going to say....

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
I'm all caught up with Mark Watches (for the moment, anyway) and now I'm swimming in anxiety for his future mental state on the day he gets to The Body. He already has such a please-be-my-fictional-mommy crush on Joyce; by the time we get through Band Candy and her coming to terms with Buffy's Slayerness and giving Spike hot cocoa with marshmallows and surviving cancer, he's going to come completely unglued at the end of I Was Made To Love You, and then The Body is going to pull him to pieces and scatter them to the wind.
Seriously. Someone like P-C or any other localista who knows him is going to have to contrive a way to sit in with him on those two episodes, because no matter how much he thinks he's prepared for how not prepared he is, he is not prepared for that gutpunch.
