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

... Doesn't she do that too?

Up with the sun

I think Hil means she wants it in the thread rather than in Nillytown.

Art Crawl!!!

Right -- a link to skip to the end of "watch and post".

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

That shouldn't be hard to do.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

Any stompy could do it in seconds. I guess the issues are: (1) Does anyone object to the concept, and (2) would anyone object to having their post edited by a stompy to add this info?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Anyone who would object could just be sure not to be the first watch-n-post poster, no?

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

I think a stompy adding a line of "Watch-n-post ends here" is a great idea. (And I can't imagine anyone objecting to that kind of edit, especially to a post as content-free as the watch-n-posts usually are.)

Jonathan Will Always Be My Hero

would anyone object to having their post edited by a stompy to add this info?

You can avoid this by just having a Stompey make a post just before 8:00, then they could just edit their own post.

Although I will go on record as saying I wouldn't care at all if my post were edited to include a link.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

You can avoid this by just having a Stompey make a post just before 8:00, then they could just edit their own post.

That's not a bad idea (although as the Stompy Least Likely To Be Home On a Tuesday, I shouldn't just volunteer the others). Are there any admins who are regularly around at that time and willing to do it?

Nobody

I've never seen an instance of a sustained analysis that would take both shows into account. They have very little in common these days.

I've seen a lot of it, just not here, unless its in Spoilers, because the task of whitefonting the various points is too much of a pain in the ass for any sort of in-depth thing. Hell, I was reading some good essays about both shows earlier today.

I refrain from it because of the white font policy, fwiw. Thematically, I've always discussed the shows together. I'm glad we're making a move to limit the white font time period in NAFDA. Either the weekend or the week is fine with me.
