So...do we need a vote on the music thread title?

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

t Turns out this particular stompy foot isn't ticklish...

The end.

I think there's a body of people who prefer "Swells".

I hope Caroma does not mind if I answer her. I think Caroma missed one aspect of Buffista culture - and if she can really grasp it and stick to it, she can unban herself from natter. That is there is an important hypocrisy to Buffista courtesy - and it is not politically biased. That hyprocrisay is that personal attacks are not okay - unless we are sure they are behind your back. That is you can personally attack Julia Roberts or George Bush or Bill Clinton or Al Gore or Ralph Nader or Noam Chomsky - because none of them post on this board. But you can't attack anyone personally - even in the most mild way by calling them smug or not-bright if they post on this board. Also - not revelent to your case, but for the record, you can't post stuff that is racist or that denigrates women or gays or the disabled or whatever.....

I would say the most frustatring thing to me about being personally attacked on this board is that I immediately think of great comebacks - and can't use them because they violate Buffista courtesy. Do you know how frustrating it is to have to suppress a really good retort?

with a gleam in my eye, and an almost airtight alibi

Have we definitely decided against a Movies thread? Because I came up with a great argument against it, but I don't want to post it if it's beating a dead horse.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I'm curious, Michele.
