No offense the Americans here, but - you guys crack me up! You have some real nutters amongst you.

"Either it's murder, or this library has a very strict overdue policy."
"The Broadcast Decency Enforcement Act"?! This is a joke, right? I mean, freedom of speech and all that.
And if it's real, please tell me the people who handle these things looked at these loons and then told them this is an idiotic idea and to just sit the fuck down and think a bit before the next time they open their mouths.

What is even happening?

Didn't your government or your networks cut the hell out of Buffy and Angel, before they could air in UK, at least at certain hours?

They aired it at 6pm, after the news here, so it did get cut, aye.
Channel 4 tried to air Angel at the same timeslot - the first episode was missing 1 and a half minutes of footage. Before the teaser started.
I'm not saying we're less batty. British people crack me up, too.
(And yes, that paste is real).

Um.

There isn't a government censor, but yes, the networks do self-censor. IIRC, there is also a unofficial "watershed" hour after which the rules are loosened.

So do I. I also enjoy wingnut and another one that gets occasional play around here but that I can't remember at the moment. No, wait - wackaloon - that's the one. (Whackaloon?)

This picture of Phil "Sideshow Bob" Spector in court (that's not a typo) prompted Hec to comment, "It is one of the great whackaloon hairdos of recorded history." It takes chutzpah to wear that hair in public; it takes something more than chutzpah to wear it to court when you're up on murder charges. That something being complete lunacy.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there
Is that where that came from? It's our? Hec's? That's so cool - I use that word all the time.
And if it's real, please tell me the people who handle these things looked at these loons and then told them this is an idiotic idea and to just sit the fuck down and think a bit before the next time they open their mouths.
This is pretty much my mantra these days. Not going so well, really.

Oh, I've heard other people not from here use it, too. I don't think it originated here. It just gets used, and when it does, I always remember how much I like it.
