Dear TONY:
It is a rare occassion that one Buffista will take it upon him or herself to speak for the entire B.org collective, especially without mulling it over in Bureaucracy for three weeks, resulting in four stormy board exits, excessive backchannel, and liberal use of MARCIE.
However, I have nominated myself to speak for everyone without their permission, because, well, I'm an asshole.
Dearest TONY, we are not obsessed with Tim Minear, his mom, or his beagles. We do like Tim, don't get us wrong. We go way back. He posted amongst us at Table Talk back in the day, and considers himself a Buffista.
Now, because we're a proud people, when one of our own develops a television show, (a good television show, at least), we gather together in Lightbulbs and vote, as a collective, as to whether that member should receive his or her own thread to honor said Buffista.
To date, only one Buffista has developed a television show, and that is Tim.
We don't obsess about Tim any more than we obsess about our cats, ita's inability to keep her body from constant bruising, grammar, salad shooters, or abortion rights. In fact, we spend more time discussing body issues, whether George Bush is in fact legally retarded, and the latest cupcake recipe in Cook's Illustrator, than we do discussing Tim's latest canceled project.
So, to sum up, we love Tim as one of our own, and are giddy that one of our own has a teevee show and such. But really, if you want to see obsessive, come by Natter and tell everyone you didn't wear your seatbelt while tossing kittens out your car window on your way to the central library to randomly tear pages out of books.
Love and kisses,
The Buffistas
