The conversation of this thread has ranged past Tim-involved shows for a long time now. I thought it unsurprising to see current season discussion of shows outside his 'verse and am pretty sure it's happened before--it's more like the way Bitches is NAFDA than the Lost thread.
I'm not sure where you're going with the deserve to be spoiled thing (people who read that chick's column didn't
deserve
to be spoiled, because details of a TV show aren't things one deserves, in my book), bon, but you've been lucky up until now.
Are mommy and daddy getting divorced?
It's not you, it's them... and they both still love you lots.
As a direct result of that night, I have moved 3000 miles to a new job, gotten a divorce, and fallen in love with one of the people posting that night.
Whee! My postiversary must be coming up too! I think it's April 4 or so, whenever Tim announced the cancellation news.
Maybe it's luck, or maybe it's pattern and practice. We don't seem to have a clear guideline in this area, but don't we usually acknowledge that HSQ moments aren't fair game less than 24 hours after airing, with the exception of a thread devoted to that show? It's not fair to expect the readers of any show thread to be up on all shows at all times.
Mommy and Daddy are not mad. Mommy's been leaving work at 2 am and returning at 7 am. Mommy is very tired.
Wait. I thought ita was Mommy.
Daddy's on new meds.
Why am I Daddy, again?
My basic understanding of non-show NAFDA threads is that everything's game, and have read through slitted eyes from time to time because of that.
The vagueness of the defining text, however, should be eliminated--force it into line with someone's expectations--I don't care if it's mine or not. It just needs to be clear.
I am in agreement such as it is that this is not the time or place to hash this out. I'm not asking for a rule, anyway.
Why am I Daddy, again?
You're taller.

They just stopped having sex as soon as you were born...
Mommy, do you need a wife to come over and make you a nice dinner? Or maybe a mani/pedi day this weekend?
