All Ogle, No Cash -- It's Not Just Annoying, It's Un-American

Discussion of episodes currently airing in Un-American locations (anything that's aired in Australia is fair game), as well as anything else the Un-Americans feel like talking about or we feel like asking them. Please use the show discussion threads for any current-season discussion.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

Are you now or have you ever been: UnAmerican buffistas

BWAH-HA-HA-HA!

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

frankly it's a phrase I'm rather proud of.

As well you should be. I wouldn't have thought to use it as my term of choice if I hadn't seen it here.

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

Are you now or have you ever been: UnAmerican buffistas

Love it.

OK-- I am laughing even harder now, becuase I just realized it is not only a McCarthy ref but an Angel episode (dim this morning).

What Jim said.

Well, other than coming up with the phrase, because I didn't - he did. But other than that, what Jim said.

"Are you now or have you ever been: UnAmerican buffistas"

Love it, too.

[Edit: resisting the urge to point that 'buffistas' should be capitalized]

[Another Edit: failing]

Nilly, if you didn't point out capitalization, you wouldn't be Nilly. Which would be tragic.

Awww, thanks, Jim.

It's worth mentioning that there's no capitalization in Hebrew, so I can only spend my nit-picking (about this) in English. In Hebrew I nit-pick about things that don't exist in English (like gender in adjectives and stuff like that).

With the help of context and explanation and longterm familiarity with Buffistadom it's fine, really, but for new people interested in the site it is unwelcoming. Might as well say: poor, perverted, annoying people you're not one of us! I was hoping for a more friendly title, maybe for the next thread?

Buffy and Angel are huge in the UK, Australia and Europe (birthplace of vampires) there could be many more people on this thread. IJS.

There's no way to calculate how many people came, looked, and left because they were turned off by the title. So far, though, this board (and sometimes this thread) has one of the most international mixes of a board grown out of a US concern that I've ever seen.

I don't know where new users come from (for those who came outside of the Firefly Influx of 2002). I have no idea how an unAmerican finds this place, and how clear it is (title notwithstanding) that there's potential for ME discussion that's not timed to the N American schedule.

Propose it when the time comes.

A few "in my case" answers, just in case you're intrested: I came here by accident, from various links in the internet fandom at large. I hit the page- links page first, I think- several times before I actually realised it might be of intrest to me. I'm guessing that most unAmericans find this place roughly the same way Americans do. I didn't have the (American) background to the thread, but it was clear that- unlike the other boards I've visited- people who weren't part of the American cliche were a bit more accomodated than the occassional 'spoiler free thread'.

Just so you know.
