Okay, other thoughts:
"And did I mention there's a whore?"
"Oh, my god, I'm a hack." which seems somewhat appropriate since we're talking about writing.
"Joss's first nonlatex show"
Man, Being creative on demand for a pithy one line epigram - too stressful to me. But if you want to know how to get 12 year olds to write a literary analysis, I'm your woman. Well not your woman, technically, more Lori's woman but you get my point.
I'm down with the whore.
In the same sense that Kat's our woman.
As in get your mind out of the gutter.
Also: so this is the place we choose NAFDA thread titles, right? Won't that be spoilery for UnAmericans?
Well, since they will likely see the threads on the main page, it would be a good idea to keep them unspoily if possible. Most funny lines out of context aren't spoily.
Hmmm...
My name's part of that sentence and my mind is in the gutter...
Will whore though fuck up people's ablility to view/read/access at work?
I like the " " cause you know, silence, not spoilery.
Oh. If the word whore is gonna set off bell's and whistles maybe it should be
"And did I mention there's a
companion?"
Frankly I find whore funnier. Cause you know, whores, funny. Companions, NSM.
Companion's only funny when the whore is implied.
It's quite a conundrum. Whore, still funnier. Even with the implied.
since they will likely see the threads on the main page,
Well, if they use the message center, and read new, they never have to see the main page! Okay, unless you're having that funky thing where it redirects you to the main page. But that isn't happening to *me*, so I don't really care about it!
la la la
But, seriously, won't that still pose a problem? Like if they see "Buffy 16: Uh Oh, Daddy's Home" people might unwillingly go nuts trying to figure out what context *that* came out of. And other people, like Fiona, will be annoyed during Grave when a great line is interrupted by their minds going, "Oh, so that's where the title came from!" or even "Where did I read that before? It's really familiar. Is Willow quoting the title of the latest Britney Spears song, to show she's
really
evil, or something?" I mean, not with Grave, obviously, because it's all aired, but...
... there's no way around that, is there?
I really, really like "Oh my God, I'm a hack." Show-specific, writing-related, a Jossism, but in no way spoilery since it was something he said on the set rather than in a script.
