The ballot box is now open to vote on the following proposal: That major casting spoilers (to the main cast only, not recurring or guest), which are being advertised by Fox or the WB when they announce their show line-up and show casts for the upcoming television season, are no longer considered spoilers and may be discussed, within their respective show threads only, from 4 weeks after the announcements or 4 weeks after the previous season finale, whichever is the later. This includes cast additions or departures that occur over summer hiatus only (not midseason) . Any plot points related to the character's (not the actor's) arrival or departure are to be treated as spoilers. The Main Cast are those characters who appear in the opening credits.
Voting closes Friday night (August 1, 2003) at midnight (that would be "Board Time", i.e. PDT).
Vote Here.
Okay, so here it is, the infamous clip of Fay keeping it real at the F2F. Co-starring JZ and Plei.

Would any Baltimore/DC/willing-to-travel Buffistas be interested in meeting for dinner on Sunday, Aug. 10? There's a wonderful Afghani restaurant on N. Charles Street that a) is fairly inexpensive and b) has a wide variety of things for both carnivores and vegetarians. Plus, they have this ice cream that is flavored with cardamom and cinnamon and that has chunks of mango and dates. Contact me at my profile addy if you'd be interested. The place is popular enough that I'd need to make reservations early next week.
I'm still on vacation and if anyone wants a postcard from me (doesn't matter where you live) send me your address by 8:30 am EST tomorrow morning (Saturday).
