Really? Thanks.
Xander: We just saw the zebras mating! Thank you, very exciting... Willow: It was like the Heimlich, with stripes!

Oops sorry Fiona (may I call you Fi?) I mistook you for FayJay.
It's OK. Actually I'm flattered to be mistaken for the sumptuous, most articulate FayJay.
And, um, I'd rather you didn't call me Fi, thanks. Only people who have known me personally for a few years do (and that includes Trudy).

Do you two EVER visit the Angel thread?
Is it spoilery to mention that the Jossverse Faith has been aborted!
Or possibly aborted?

Ficht nicht mit Der Raketemensch!
Rarely - when I'm up to date with eps. I don't BT, so that relies on a (very reliable) tape fairy. Fiona's tape fairy is incredibly unreliable , but has, i can confirm ACTUALLY POSTED IN THE POST OFFICE WITH STAMPS AND EVERYTHING 5 tapes this lunchtime. Promise.

Um, you remember what you said about understanding every word, but having no sense of meaning?
Thanks.
Edit: I could also have said "your transnition is breaking up" I post thing in the Post Office all the time and buy elecricity there too (which may explain why I am currently running on emergency power-which'll have to last till Wednesday- no cash)

Jon sends me tapes. He's really good, and does it really promptly. I then leave them in my desk drawer for bloody ages until I have an envelope, stamps, Fiona's address. Then I forget for a bit longer. But I have, today SENT THE BUGGERS ORF! So I'm feeling chuffed.

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

Given that the whole NAFDA & UnAm setup was designed because people felt like they couldn't visit the show threads without being spoiled, the tone of this question seems pretty seriously out of line.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
Shinola is stuff you shine your shoes with! Or was. I don't know if "shit from Shinola" helped put the product out of business, but I can't think that it was actually invented by soemone trying to sell Shinola!
Agreed with the peanut gallery. Asking "Why are you taking me seriously?" is misunderstanding the general tenor of the Buffistas. If we can have a Great Gerund War, we can argue anything into the ground, in all occasionally goofy seriousness.

Catching up--Theo, thanks for the TiVo advice! I did doublecheck that it wasn't playing on a spanish channel I"d taken off "things I get", but turns out the only one I"ve unchecked is BET Jazz (for some reason, TiVo decided I *really* like jazz....except I don't....). Have Destinos on a wishlist now too.
Public transport is interesting. I grew up in a city that was fairly large, but had CRAP public transport--busses, but they were sporadic and pretty useless. So I love living in a city where I can use the stuff (though DC *really* needs to get into the 24 hour public transport business...this "closes at midnight on weekdays" thing sucks). But here, basically any housing near a metro station? Is way more expensive. Which is cool, shows people take it, but...Of course, talking about building more metro stations is expensive, so it's a hard battle. (More buses, well, I've heard some cool things they're trying with GPS and telling you when the next bus is *reallly* coming, and that would be darn cool)
But me, I work in the 'burbs, and it would take me literally three times as long to commute by public transport (not to mention costing nearly as much as the car upkeep, though not on an environmental scale, obviously).
