Hey. New board.

Fay teaches the Bitches how to translate English->English:

Amych! OMG!!!!WTF!!! That's, liek, totally cool!!!

Squeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!

(Because that's pretty much how I felt when I read it. Well, you know, in translation - the UK thought process was probably more along the lines of :"Blimey! Well that's just...gosh. Jolly good show, old girl!" But it translates into American as seen above.)

(((VW))) - that sucks donkey cock. (UK version: 'Bother.')

Erika - Wooohooo! Go Erika! Go Erika! Go Erika! (UK version: That's quite remarkably good news.)

What is even happening?

amych: In spite of the sleep deprivation, I'm awake enough to know for certain that the BF is now the FF.

meep.

Fay: Amych! OMG!!!!WTF!!! That's, liek, totally cool!!!

Squeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!

(Because that's pretty much how I felt when I read it. Well, you know, in translation - the UK thought process was probably more along the lines of :"Blimey! Well that's just...gosh. Jolly good show, old girl!" But it translates into American as seen above.)

Matt: is this a new development?

amych: Yep. I upgraded the BF.

SailAweigh: amych, w00t! You upgraded! Get him a larger hard drive?

NovaChild: Okay, FF? I'm just missing it, and keep coming up "femme fatale" and "Firefly"

Which just doesn't make sense.

I gather it's a fiancé. Fatal Fiancé? Female fiancé? Fat fiancé? Fiancétical friend? First fuck? Final fuck? Fucking fiancé?

tommyrot: When amych first mentioned that her BF had become an FF, I thought, "Her boyfriend is now a female friend? He got a sex-change?"

amych: Okay, okay, have mercy! FF was MM's term for the Empress, back when she was a faithful fiancee, and it was the first thing that came to my fingers on, as I think I mentioned, no sleep whatsoever.

As much as he may be fair, faithful, occasionally fucking, and always a fiancetical friend, BF 2.0 is obviously in need of a different set of initials -- I'll probably just go on calling him BF or S or That Guy With The Sword, but y'all are welcome to come up with other suggestions.

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

Deena: She keeps trying to go swimming in the fish tank this morning. She says the fish are scared. I think, if they knew what she was planning, they certainly would be.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

In Firefly re: FF DVD viewage at a yarn spinning retreat ...

Anne W: I find it amusing that Firefly has entered the crafting community.

Insights into the childhood play of Buffistas in Natter:

Gudanov:

I made a huge Millenium Falcon out of cardboard and masking tape for my Star Wars action figures.

tommyrot:

See, as a child I never would have gone through all that trouble, unless my ultimate goal was to set it on fire.

sarameg:

We subjected ours to duststorms, avalanches, explosions and monsoons in the tractor tire sandbox we had. We liked simulating natural and unnatural disasters. Of course, sometimes this meant limbs were lost. One Han Solo had to have his head reattached with superglue and went on to a stellar career in modelling telescopes- he was just to scale.

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

Were I actually driving right now, my posts would read less whiny and more overeducated Eminem with an anxiety disorder.

kat perez: I actually ran across From Justin to Kelly. Horrifyingly, frighteningly bad. And since I have this compulsion when it comes to teen movies, I watched the whole thing.

What is even happening?

connie neil: Calling billytea!

Giant mutant ant colony found in Australia
MELBOURNE, Australia (AFP) - A huge ant colony measuring 100 kilometres (62 miles) across has been found under the southern Australian city of Melbourne, scientists said.
Monash University researcher Elissa Suhr said the supercolony of Argentine ants was threatening native biodiversity in Australia's second largest city.
Suhr said the introduced pest's natural aggression kept numbers under control in its native country but the genetic make-up of the ants found in Australia had mutated allowing them to cooperate to build the supercolony.

Giant mutant ants. Australia needs billytea.

-t: I'm sure it's a serious problem for Melbourne, but I am finding the idea of mutant ants whose superpower is cooperation quite charming

ita: Can you imagine getting bitten by one of them and turning into a (ptui) team player?

How incredibly disappointing.
