A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

Why is FAQ girl called the FAQ girl, btw?

I think Cindy coined it. I first "introduced" her to the board via an earlier version of that FAQ.

Is it because Jon is the Master of the FAQ?
Pretty much! He put up an FAQ that described the meeting story, etc., a while after they got together. So, thus, she was FAQ girl.

I think it's because he put together a rather excellent FAQ about her some time ago. But she's going to need a new nom de post, because saying FAQ Girl out loud doesn't work.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

What Hil said.

I tend to get around this problem by just not remembering them.

I have a PDA to remember for me. Which means we could also celebrate our anniversaries according to the Jewish calendar have more fancy dinners. Yay technology.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Clearly, this needs to be in the FAQ.

Hm, we could use her name!

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

NORA! That is CRAZY TALK!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Dag, people! I go out to run a few errands (OK, and go to the movies), the board goes down, and there's STILL a pile of messages in the new Natter when I get back? CRAXY.

I think I'm going to pretend that The Tale of Jon B and FAQ Girl is fictional, because otherwise, I don't think I can take it.

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.

Thanks! I figured something similar.

Clearly, this needs to be in the FAQ.

Clearly.

I don't know, Nora's getting a little extreme, but it is true -- FAQ Girl has essentially the same problem as Saturday Night Live, with the mouth not being able to make those sounds too close together, so something gets elided. Is it eliding that I mean? Anyway, vw and I end up saying things like, "And FAQ (pause) Girl looks so nice in that dress!"

Okay, we don't say it a lot. I haven't seen her in months. But we said it about the wedding photos.
