'The Cautionary Tale of Numero Cinco'
[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.
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"
You're fine, Stephanie.
We're just teasing. It was a later addition to the FAQ.
I hope that came across as the joke it was intended to be.
It totally did. To me, at least.
Just glad I know the deal about Bob and the carrots now.
Bob gets jokes!!!
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.
(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.
Bob likes conversations!
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.
Darmok! And Jalad! At Tanagra!

I miss my Bats Likes Carrots tag from the heady days of obsessive obsession. For men. In capes. And masks.
I also miss NATLBSB. Even if COMM is shorter.
