Sooner or later, you're gonna want it. And the second — the second — that happens, you know I'll be there. I'll slip in, have myself a real good day.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Like, say, the inescapable truth that Joel was infinitely better?

Yes, but he LEFT, thus breaking my heart. Not that I'm bitter or anything. Also, Mike was cuter.

Yes, driven out by the Mike Nelson Mediocrity Conspriacy!

So totally kidding. The first seriously irrational kerfuffle I ever ran into when I first started lurking about on-line was a massive Joel vs. Mike flame war. I backed away quickly from the internets for a while and pondered how such craxy could exist.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

You're more seasoned how, eh?

I wonder who the craxy-est of the craxy fans are? The people who made Amber Benson cry at con are the worst I've personally heard of (though the James Marsters quid pro quo stripper woman comes close), but surely there must be even more jaw-dropping examples out there that I've been blissfully unaware of to this point...

ISTR tales of people shoving their hands down...was it Roy Dupuis's pants? Or did they just chase him down hotel corridors?

Actually, I was at the Posting Board party where this happened to Boreanaz, though I only found out about it years later (as explanation for why that was his last Posting Board party).

Oh, ok. I thought it was a reference to a particular fandom. I couldn't remember what show that actor's name referred to.
