We're all getting played with, babe. -Weird Barbie

I delurked in 2003, I think, as a Wonderfalls fan. I think P-C and Kristin showed up around when I did.

Yep, but it was 2004. I can't say that I delurked since I basically started posting within minutes of finding the board. My first night was Random Acts of PayPal. It was amazing.

Hmm, it appears that my first post was on December 1st 1999. It was widely ignored since it consisted of "ANGLE IS SUCK" followed by spam for my website of obscene vegetable photographs.

I delurked officially (use of the delurk tag was mandatory back in those days and enforced with zeal) on January 20th 2000. This post linked to my 30 page essay "WHY ANGLE IS SUCK AND SPIKE IS TOO", which Dr. Satan and Dana declared to be both "deeply flawed" and "barely coherent". The subsequent flame war lasted for six months; that's why we never got around to discussing the season 4 finale.

After a period of enforced exile I was allowed to return on condition that I submit to a series of painful injections, administered by Jon B., and anger management counselling. The abject failure of these precautions, my adventures on the Canadian border and the unmasking of Ellen S. as an Armenian spy are a tale best saved for another day.

Trust my rage

Yep, but it was 2004.

Wow, you are right. Seems longer somehow.

Hi Tom!

January 20th 2000

This is when I delurked too.

Ah, yes... Good times... Good times....

At last to guess, instead of always knowing.

I'm delurking right now* AIFG!

  • Not exactly true, since I've posted a couple of times before, and who knows if I'll ever post again, but someone had to say it...

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Oh, use of Buffista-specific acronym and a footnote in small font! That's some advanced posting.

Hi Sue, formerly Susan.

Ah, yes... Good times... Good times....

Almost as much fun as the time we got into that fight with Mitt Romney after he said that the stories on 'Charmed' made more sense. Jeez that man kicks like a frickin' mule. I still think he just had a thing for Alyssa Milano, though.

Anyway, I should get back in my box. I'm not supposed to be posting without supervision.

Okay, you people have made me actually track down my first post. You'd think I didn't have work to do. I found b.org as part of the great Firefly invasion of Aught Two, but I did lurk some on the Bronze, back in the day.

I have no idea why I should choose to delurk to discuss the nature of souls, but I think a soul, in the Jossverse, is the thing for which the devil and Daniel Webster were contesting. In the concept of selling your soul to the devil, you sell your chance of heaven for a guarantee of immediate pleasures -- power or money or fame. That concept has come up specifically -- the Mayor, for example, joked about selling his. I think that in this context a soul, more than anything else, is the potential for redemption.

eta: It took me a while to register. I initially failed to grasp the usefulness of "Read New."
