Allyson, stay away from other boards. Stay here. I can throw large paragraphs at your screen, if it may help.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

he really should toss all those Autumn colors in his wardrobe. He's most definately a Winter.

You know, I've been meaning to mention that.

He totally clashes with the beagles too.

I totally had to walk away from places earlier. Probably the same places.

I just don't get some people. Like, if someone tells me they got fired or laid off or something, I'm not going to say, "Oh I'm really sorry to hear that. But, honestly, I've always thought you were an idiot so I think it's for the best." Or if you say your grandmother died, I don't think an appropriate response is, "Sorry to hear that. But you know she smelled funny."

I have no nice response to any of them. Except, of course...

CHAPEAU ^

Allyson, Kristen, may I just join to those who want some sort of Allyson-and-Kristen show, to go along with, well, the DVDs of the actual Tim show? Because if I can't watch anything with you, at least I can enjoy your wit and spicy brains.

[Edit: it's not helping much, is it? Sorry. I just don't understand people, too.]

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

Aww, Nilly. I'd love to do a DVD commentary! I do that that the studio would not be so enthused. But I'll talk along with my DVDs at home so it'll be all interactive and stuff.

Should be noted that Buffy would have been canceled after four episodes if it aired on FOX, today. And then there'd be no Buffistas at all.

So sad.

Why do you go other places? It's scary out there. I pretty much just stay here. We have theoretical pie and everything.

Mmmm. Pie...

See, that's exactly what I want - only, you know, with a mic or something, so that I can pretend I'm in the room with you. I can even visualize the room, I can pretend where I sit and how Ruby would glare at me and everything.

Also, I'm sorry you have to face such reactions. I totally don't understand that sort of response, as well. I mean, I can even understand from where the people with the failed-before-it-started approach are coming from (though, well, not agree with that sort of approach), but not the "you were an idiot anyway" sort of response. What sort of good does it do?

Should be noted that Buffy would have been canceled after four episodes if it aired on FOX, today.

I'm trying to think, 13 episodes, that's a whole story. Not a long novel with lots and lots of chapters which is hard to carry in your backpack around because it makes it heavy, but still. A few movies' worth, in length, and it seems like it's going to get some of the on-going developments of plot and character which makes tv, in a way, even better than a 2-hours movie. So, it's something. A thing that didn't exist last year, and is here now. And I still can't wait to get to watch it, as short and full of unfulfilled potential as it may be.

You know, we could experiment and cancel football.

I'm sorry Tim. I spent the weekend pimping the show.Now I feel bad for everyone involved.

Once upon a time, this was an other place.

Pish-tosh. I refuse to believe that the Buffista Boards have not always existed, pristine and archtypal in perfection as a platonic message board in the mind of god. So there.

In other, less delusional news, I find myself agreeing with Nilly. (Big news there). At least we got what we got, and 13 eps of brilliance is better than no eps of brilliance, or hundreds of eps of mediocracy.
