"The Wire" likes urban carrots. Pelecanos likes funky Greek carrots. David Simon likes gritty Balmer carrots.
This money, it is too much. You should have some small refund.

Spike's Bitches 27: I'm Embarrassed for Our Kind.
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Always Anti-fascist!

Trust my rage
I hope that came across as the joke it was intended to be. I'm always a bit worried about my tone coming across, esp. post-kerfuffle.

How are you me? You need to stop that. Only I can be me. ~Kara
I think, if you look at them squinty-eyed, it's the same. Aimee demonstrated the obsession, with an added bit of definition #2: MUST respond to EVERY post to explain how it's really all about ME, who loves BOB.
DED is more an internet-wide thing, and I'm guessing it's because someone thought it was cute and it just caught on, like "My Hed is Pasted on YAY"

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
You're fine, Stephanie.
We're just teasing. It was a later addition to the FAQ.

Because books.

It totally did. To me, at least.
Just glad I know the deal about Bob and the carrots now.

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

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
It was a later addition to the FAQ.
It's not here.
Krav likes exactly what I do. Seems coincidental, but it's more like fate.

I look more rad than Lutheranism
(Also, it seems that the phrase means different things to Hec and Aimee.)
Nah, they just phrased it differently.
"[blah] likes carrots" is a default phrase to describe when someone is so obsessed with something that they bring it up all the time, even when it doesn't seem relevant.
Its origin was, in fact, from people who are so obsessed about a new love interest that they talk about that person all the time, even when it doesn't seem relevant. (i.e., "I cooked some carrots the other day, and...." "OMG! Bob likes carrots!!!")
And now it extends to when you're obsessed about anything, and talk about it all the time, and can tie that thing into any conversation.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
Bob likes conversations!

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
You know, a lot of Buffista-isms remind me of the Star Trek:TNG episode where Enterprise encountered another group who only spoke in metaphors. Paul Winfield was in that ep.
