You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

Some apropos oldies but goodies from the Buffy 3 thread at TT:

Tom W:

Remember, spoilers don't spoil people, people spoil people. Or something.

And then there was this:

"There is no emoticon to express how I feel"

I think part of the trouble is that we cover a wide variety of things with the single term 'spoiler'. From short episode summaries, through particular plot points to line for line transcripts.
For example (entirely fictional):

(i) (TV Guide Summary). "Buffy and the gang fight a Jello(tm) monster."
(ii) (more detail) "Willow's dessert-enhancing spell goes awry and Sunnydale is menaced by a terrifying Jello(tm) monster."
(iii) (particular plot point) "In tonight's episode Giles is slowly digested by a gelatinous cube. The special effects are particularly good and gross."
(iv) (vague pointers) "Significant cast changes are afoot after tonight's encounter with a malevolent instant pudding."
(v) (line for line) "Xander: And we're reconsidering Jello's status as a 'fun' dessert. Buffy: Kiss me, you fool."

We need a standardized ratings system for spoilers, and little icons to go next to them. And a puppy.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Puppy!

No other candidate is asking the hard questions, like "Did geophysicists assassinate Jim Henson?" or "Why is there hydrogen in America's water supply?" --defective yeti

SeanK in Natter, answering the question, "how does she do that?"

So confess, Nilly.... you just have all the post numbers memorised, and use the numbers as little mnemonics to remember who posted them, and what they said?

I was charmed (albeit somewhat perplexed) by the fannish sensibility of many of the music choices -- it's like the director was trying to vid Canada. --loligo on the Olympic Opening Ceremonies

Liese in BBaBB:

Maybe now would be a good time to provide static archives of all the once-sucked threads so we're not engaging in multiple repetitive suckage.

This is probably the porniest BaBB post I've ever posted.

In Natter:

Ellen S.: I would totally watch the whole primary-debate-etc. process if it were done like The Amazing Race.

Jess PMoon: Hee! A Detour is a choice between two tasks. In "smear," candidates must convince the public that their opponents are lower than pond scum. It's an easy task, and candidates will be able to finish quickly, but the backlash may cost them support later in the race. In "shine," candidates must convince the public of their own merits, without referring to their opponents at all. It will take longer, but candidates who complete this task will be able to ride the resulting wave of support all the way to the finish line.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

JZ, on Pirates of the Caribbean:

Jack is unbelievably fabulous, but I got the very strong feeling that he is more a Jacksexual than anything else: totally, madly (and charmingly) in love with himself. He may dally with the emotions and private parts of various pretty young things of various genders, but his one true love is Jack, and none other shall dislodge his beloved from his heart of hearts. And bless him for it - nobody but himself is good enough for him, really.

I can't even.

Megan E.: I hope there is no meat eating going on tonight at the D&D game.

Elena: Okay, do you really want me to repeat that one to the boys when I get home?

Thanks for all the fish.

It's okay, Megan, he's a fellow Upper Canadian. He'll eventually move to the East Coast when Toronto is full of Newfoundlanders.

In case you missed it the first time around:

Ellen S: What happened to the Archaeology Section of the NY Times? (it used to be under Science, Social Science or some such)

DXMachina: You have to dig around for it...
