That's the thrill of living in the Hellmouth! There's a veritable cornucopia of fiends and devils and ghouls to engage ... Pardon me for finding the glass half-full.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Ayup.

And why did it parse the link [link] into [link]? It's a board link ... it should be displayed prettily -- did that stop working and I missed it?

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Thanks, ita. I will do the weeding and get it back to you after Christmas.

eta: Assuming that it is okay.

"What happens with the movie"? Is there buzz I'm missing?

My understanding is that if the first movie does well the cast is contracted for two sequels, or something like that.

You'd do a deathmatch, but only after the franchise is done?

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

Deena, I'm willing to help gather quotes. Last two seasons of Buffy?

Well, I didn't say I'd do a deathmatch. But I think doing one before the franchise is done seems premature. Honestly, I don't really care either way.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

And why did it parse the link [link] into [link]?

I think it's cause you didn't start it on a new line?

Test:

Yep.

What is even happening?

I've never started my [link] links, or buffista links on new lines, and it's worked up until now. ita "Buffistas Building a Better Board" Dec 21, 2004 9:20:46 am PST I wonder what happened. [link]

(that wasn't a new line)

My guess is that Gus' [link] code has priority unless it's an internal b.org link that starts on a new line.

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

And why did it parse the link [link] into [link]? It's a board link ... it should be displayed prettily -- did that stop working and I missed it?

That happened to me once, but it turned out I had accidently copied the "editpost" link rather than the actual "showthread" link, and posted that. The "editpost" link displayed as "[link]," but when I replaced it with the "showthread" link, it displayed the full post information the way it's supposed to. For example:

"editpost" link for post #8987: [link]

"showthread" link for post #8987: Jon B. "Buffistas Building a Better Board" Dec 22, 2004 3:55:05 am PST

eta: It doesn't have to start on a new line for the post info to display, as shown in this post.
