IIRC, wasn't there something about limiting the number of posts in a topic so that it would stop of its own accord?

Is the proposal for a generic movie thread that'll be used for the Foamies/Oscar watch-and-post at the appropriate times, or are we talking more than one thread?

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

I believe (and would favor) the former: one thread for Foamies, Oscars, and everything else.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
How about "Angel 2: No Time for Loosers" in the tradition of bad internet spelling.
If that's the game then make it "Angel 2:No Tim for Loosers".

Okay, I've got a question: where are our OZ viewers at?
Last year, I know that what we could say where went by what they had seen. I'm wondering if we still need to whitefont Principal Hottie because I'm pretty certain they've now seen the first eps of S7.

I think they just started Season 7 - maybe one or two eps in? Which would mean PH, though not his history, is fair game.

Speaking of whitefonting, I've noticed several oblique spoilers for the new seasons that aren't getting called out. An example would be Schmoker making a play on the phrase "First Evil" at the beginning of the new Angel thread .
I hate to say anything about it when it happens, since I usually only notice them hours after they've been posted, and I don't want to have dozens of people reading my complaint and retroactively thinking, "Oh, that's what that meant? Dammit."

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.

This happens ALL THE TIME, probably a little more than you realize (although now that it's pointed out to you, you'll catch it a lot.)
I think about whiting stuff out and such, but usually it's just more effective to not draw attention.
