Spike: You pissed in the Big Man's Chair? That's fantastic! Gunn: Spike, can you please turn off that warm fuzzy? Spike: What, the Lorne thing? Worn off. I just think that's bloody fabulous.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

This does honestly bring up the point of what new shows might get their own threads in future. I'm assuming anything new from Mutant Enemy is a given. Does the same hold true if Tim has independent efforts apart from the company at some point?

Cindy just quoted "Schmoker" in COMM, from Angel:

Watching S3 now and I don't think Cordy has changed that much. Not inwardly. She just toned down the snarkiness. Maybe she had a bad experience on a message board.

Is Schmoker still posting, or is that from a while ago, does anyone know?

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Is Schmoker still posting

Still posting.

You sip / say it's your crazy / straw say it's you're crazy / as you bicycle your soul / with beauty in your basket

Schmoker just posted this morning in When come back bring tape.

Then I think someone should ask him, yet again, if he's mieskie.

That quote pretty much admits it anyway, right?

Up with the sun

That quote pretty much admits it anyway, right?

No. He started the discussion in bureaucracy ?last week? by asking how come Cordy could be snarky on the show, but we can't on the boards. Much angst ensued, he took some time off, he came back (and does seem to have toned it down). That's probably what he's referring to.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

No, John, I respectfully disagree. Schmoker had his own "bad experience," completely separate from any mieskie-ness. Not that that conclusively disproves separate identity, but it doesn't prove it, either.

Schmoker is going out of his way to play by our rules, at present. I'm very much for the sleeping puppies rule as long as that's the case.

No other candidate is asking the hard questions, like "Did geophysicists assassinate Jim Henson?" or "Why is there hydrogen in America's water supply?" --defective yeti

It's a good quote, though. It deserved to be in COMM because it seems to signal an attitude shift I would want to hear about, and has funny context.


John H - Jan 26, 2003 1:57:14 pm PST #3535 of 10001

OK sorry I was out of line there. And I forgot that he had his own bad experience. It's interpretable either way.

Now tagless for your comfort.

John H, you're not the only one with suspicions. I am reserving the right to be suspicious. Way too many coincidences for my taste.

edited to add: not that this cries for action, just that that is the way that I feel.
