"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."

I think you lie, Nutty. I think you have an idea who Fuller is.

Dude, you doubt my veracity?? I don't even know the guy's first name. I don't know if he has a first name. He might be like Prince, only not quite so iconic.

And hopefully with tight enough buns that the yellow butt-cutout suit doesn't make him look ridiculous.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

I don't know if he has a first name.

He does! It is Bryan.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

He does! It is Bryan.

Great, P-Cow. Now you've gone and ruined his mystique.

Thanks a lot.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

It's interesting going into the TV threads now and seeing big, active threads that I'm never going to participate in.

There was a time when we were on WX when I read every post in every thread. That's why we taunted about skipping and skimming. It was considered cheating a little tiny bit to not read everything. And that time is long past, and that's okay, really.

I think for all that we twist our hands and worry about the community, the reality is that we're just successful. We just got to a certain size and nobody can keep up with all of it.

I've got my own little corners and more importantly there are new places to explore should I ever get the inclination.

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!

Hey guys, sorry I bugged out there for awhile, but, er, I got arrested and there was some court stuff and loan stuff, and suffice to say I've been a little preoccupied.

My brief glance into the Comedy and Procedural threads show them to look good, but do we want more detailed slugs? Or are people happy with what we have? I'd be happy to scare something up if it was desired, but if not, that's cool as well.

All is well that ends in pizza.

Realistically, nobody talks about Highlander or Due South any more, or rarely Smallville.

Andi and I posted about DS with a people a bit in July when we watched the first two seasons on DVD. It would have been nice to have more interaction on the eps, but we kind of mainlined them, due to our work schedules and Interlibrary loan deadlines.

There will likely be Smallville discussion again when it starts airing. Not as much as in the old days, I agree.

Oh, and that whole watch and post during the latest Highlander movie last week.

But other than that, yeah, not so much. Mostly it's kind of an homage to the roots of the thread, I guess.

Because books.

Could a stompy please reset JenP's password? She's locked out, poor baby.

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

Done.

Thank you, both! Phew.
