and I'm going to call Rebecca and have her listen too.
Shiny.
I just don't really wholly trust the transcriptionist, I have to say. This is the man for which the phrase "editorial cuteness" what coined.
By John, I admit. But I'll stand by it.
Hands! Hands in new places!

"editorial cuteness"
Oh yeah, the guy whose fault it is that when you search for "star trek" in Mister Pointy you get a false positive from this:
Xander enters with a young hunky blond man (wearing a red shirt -- Star Trek fans take note)

Thrive to spite them
Okay, I have IE open and Mozilla.
With IE I can only read the board through Read New. Because on IE with Message Center it tells me there are 2 new Messages in Bitches and through Buffistas Home it says there are 5 new in both Bitches and Natter. I can't logout either.
However with Mozilla it seems to be keeping up with posts.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
ita turned off the caching, so it should be working as it was before.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Anyone with IE currently open and being sulky, clear your cache. The code is back to what it was before, so it's just the last remnants being balky about quitting this mortal coil.
John, while I can see the trek reference bothers you, I doubt he transcribes with search engines in mind.

Oh yeah but that's going too far. If he describes Buffy's expression as "pissed off" where Joss had put "exasperated" then that's OK, but when he's trying to be funny and clever, and he's writing
I have merely transcribed what appeared on my screen, with help from the closed captions.
at the top, he's making me mad.
But I'm just mad because I only logged in to say I couldn't find my tape of The Zeppo. It's at work. But I know I'm right. But I can't prove it.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there
John, I'm with you on this one (about this particular quote) and I'll check to see if I still have that tape in the morning.
But yeah, confirmation before making changes is a good thing.

I say, Tyler, you're thinking of vampires.
FWIW, I saw the quote a while ago and thought what John thought, but didn't say anything. I'm not up for downloading the ep to confirm my recall of it, though.

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
If we ever get the caching thing set up, we should send an e-mail to SpikeMe to see if that fixes her problems.

OK, I've seen the episode umpteen times and John is definitely right. There is a tiny pause but that's a typical Xander mannerism. It's like "Jimmy Olsen jokes're...pretty much going to be lost on you". It's DEFINITELY not "Sir".
