Does "anvil[ly | lacious]" need to be in the FAQ? Is that a local thing or does it come from somewhere else? I kind of have an implicit understanding of it but can't remember it ever being introduced or explained.
Bunch of wanna blessed-bes. Nowadays every girl with a henna tattoo and a spice rack thinks she's a sister to the dark ones.

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
I think it may have come from MBTV originally, though I'm not sure.

Nobody
MBTV/TWoP definitely used it in their Wrecked recap, but I think fans were saying it fandom wide, even before then. I know I've seen it far beyond Buffista shores.

No no, I mean I think it started on the MBTV boards, back in S4. Doesn't really matter, though.

Do people feel it needs explaining? Like I say, it's almost never used without some example which should allow you to pick it up implicitly.

Oh, and the thing about the medals has come up in Natter because of my wedding photo, a couple of times now, and I feel terrible not being able to say "The other people who have them are..." and "The people who designed and made them are..." when it comes up. Should that be in the FAQ, or can someone Nilly up any kind of official post about their being awarded?

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!
Should that be in the FAQ
At the risk of seeming self-serving, I think something could be in the FAQ, maybe with a scan of the medal. If someone writes something up, I'll stick it in.
(And I loved seeing the medal in your photo John! I don't keep up with natter, and I'm sure you've been publicly admired by dozens of Buffistas already, but I wanted to add my name to the list)

Here's a link to Hec's account of the creation of the medals:

and, Natter, but thanks Jon. I couldn't be prouder of my medal, and I wanted a few wedding pics wearing it. Even on the ones where I'm not wearing it, it's in my pocket. And thanks to Elena B for reminding me!

Sorry for the natter, but John, where can I find your wedding photos?

At home on the table. There's just the one online at [link] but I promise I'll have a little website up by the weekend.
