Both Nilly and Dana sent me files of Buffy quotes for the random quote generator. I didn't format these and send them before my trip but will get to them within this week. Sorry for the delay.
Hey, preaching to the choir. I thought our Lady of the Perpetual Sea Breeze was the real deal until the Divine Miss J walked right through that door and right into my ass—which is where my heart is…physiologically. I could show you an x-ray.

A thread to discuss naming threads, board policy, new thread suggestions, and anything else that has to do with board administration and maintenance. Guaranteed to include lively debate and polls. Natter discouraged, but not deleted.

The quote generator told me today, "You have the emotional maturity of a blueberry scone." It was pretty funny. We need more insults in there.

"I keep to a strict diet of ill-advised enthusiasm and heartfelt regret." Leigh Bardugo
One of my friends said he wished there was a separate thread for watch-and-post and I thought Nilly could just mark them both.
Noumenon, I'm so totally in agreement with this. But then again, on Friday after a few drinks, I was also trying to convince ita that West Coasters need their own separate watch-and-post threads.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
FWIW, I do enjoy it when West Coasters jot down their immediate reactions as the episode goes on and post that. Not as much fun as posting live, but still fun to read.
I don't believe I've posted "live" more than once in the past. Maybe I should try it tonight.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?
I just went there now, and got this warning:
Well, fuck. There's absolutely nothing in there (titles or images) that could be construed as anything other than G-rated.

I have no problem stepping back for an hour and letting the West Coasters do their watch and post in the main thread. Plus those of us farther east can be like the Atlantic Canadians and watch and guess where they are.

I would want to post my reactions right away after Buffy if I saw it in real time. A lot of people don't even want to wait that long. If West Coast Watch-n-Post makes people feel like their immediate post-ep reactions will be drowned out for an hour, that would be a good argument for a separate watch and post thread (instead of just a Nilly marker at the start of post-ep reactions).

Do a lot of people use Nillytown? (maybe a hit-counting question) Or is skipping and skimming practiced mostly in Natter?

I don't mind yielding the floor for the watch n post, but discussion would then have to wait until the next day for us because most of the east coast is in la la land by the time the lefties finish watching. In other words, it probably just needs to stay the way it is.
