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.

Fiona - Tapes (a huge parcel of the buggers) on the way.
Please allow me to say YAY!!! again.
"Australia" in the mention above, does have two VCRs so dubbage is possible and it shouldn't be that long.
Hmm. I have two VCRs, but dubbage is not possible, as even though I can play NTSC, I can't copy it. I thought Australia was PAL? In which case wouldn't you have the same problem? Or do you have extra-spiffy system-converting VCRs which can make NTSC dubs?
Where can it go after Nilly? Do we have any Antarctic Buffistae?
BWAH, Trudy.
I don't think Thuy would do that, funny as it is. (Not to get all "You have such a perfect love," or anything.)Vampires can be pretty tempting, though.
I have pictured that, her holding the bag of chocolates with a "What the hell am I supposed to do with THIS? Crazy Australians." expression.

Yeah, I want to send tapes along to some stranger in a faraway land, too! UnAmerican lurkers, this is your chance to delurk with a special prize!
Do we have any Antarctic Buffistae?
Lots of Buffistas seem to like penguins, but I don't know if it affects their address (yet).
Um, I'd like the tapes back eventually. Though it would be very cool to have them visit all 5 main continents first.
do you have extra-spiffy system-converting VCRs which can make NTSC dubs?
Well I have two VCRs, which can both play PAL and NTSC -- the one in the living room can do SECAM as well, if I ever want to watch French videos -- so I'm assuming I can do it.

She did specifically instruct me the other day, next time I bought tuna, to make sure it was "Junkie Tuna" ...

Better than biting into a tampon...

Don't get your hopes up, John. If they're PAL systems, which they probably are (they can just
play
NTSC), you cannot copy NTSC tapes on them.
Hi, Fiona! How's Benno?
Hayden! We're good. B. is going through a very cute phase again. The only problem is that his sleep patterns are a bit random at the moment. Mostly he's waking up early (way too early, if you ask me - between 5 and 6am). Then yesterday he slept through until 8:30. Go figure. Anyway, I'm a wee bit tired these days.
Fiona - we have the latest batch of tapes - arrived this morning. I'll try and watch them this weekend...
Wow, I'm impressed. That means I won't have to wait long for the next fix after my appetite's been whetted. (Of course, as luck would have it (not), next week is exceptionally busy for me so I probably won't actually have time to
watch
the tapes, but hey, at least I'll
have
them.)
I'll put both lots together before sending them on to Oz, if that's OK. I hope we can still beat the Christmas rush.
