'War Stories'
Every year we watch the Charlie Brown special, do the Snoopy dance, wish everybody a Merry Christmukkah, and thank our Secret Santas in the good riddance thread. Which is this one, in case you were wondering. Oh, and 2006? Don't think we've forgotten about you.

Fair Fiance, sillyhead!!

Femme Fatale suits you better.
I found you guys on TT after I got bored with off-season postings on figure skating boards. I'd seen commercials for Salon on Bravo and decided to check it out. When I found the Buffy thread I never looked back ( well, almost never!)
I was thinking about the many times that we get into witty riffs on some topic or other. Two of my favorites were the "Boobular containment" convo about bra fitting and the lightbulb vs candels war.
Yay DebetEsse, you awesome Seekrit Santa!
I have wines from Colorado! I don't believe I have ever consumed Colorado wine before, but that omission shall be corrected soon. Also, you totally cracked me up with your message on the inside box flap. You are a sweetheart, thank you so much.
Also, the mailman delivered the missing part of my package to go to my Santee. Double yay. Thank you USPS.
Dear Santee,
I have grumbled loudly at the US Postal Service people over the phone, but they assure me that your package is (still) on its way, despite the fact that I mailed it on December 18, to be sent Priority (i.e., 2-3 days).
Once you receive it, you might have an inkling as to why it was slowed down so much.
lovens,
Tardy Elf Teppy
She said she remembered mine, from some high school picture, all fadey around the edges; which is better than I can do because I can't remember any.
I totally remember this! I have a very clear picture of that icon in my mind, although I can't remember for the life of me what my own icon(s) looked like.
I remember I found you all on WX just about a week before OMWF aired in Nov. 2001. (I'd gone looking for Buffy articles on Salon and found the TT forums, which had gone pay already but which had a link to the WX forums.) I lurked for a few days, but I could tell pretty soon that I was gonna like you guys. I know I delurked right around the same time as SA, Fay, and Plei -- we were all that late fall/winter, anyway.
OMWF was a good recruitment tool. Brought out the theater majors and musical fans.
So many of you found WX at about the same time I did. I found my way there avoiding television in September of 2001. Of course I assumed everyone else there had been around forever.
How I became a buffista talk always sends me to read the FAQ and Ettiquite pages. I think it's just the season, but they made me a little teary. I love the nostalgia of the FAQ and Ettiquite is just freaking cool.
I am madly in love with the idea that a bunch of smart, passionate, different, experienced people can get together and just agree not to be assholes, and it works.
I lurked/delurked waaaaaaay back on TT's Buffy 4. I got there through This American Life. Sometimes I wander off into real life, but I always come back.
