Grrr...Argh.
I like Grr... Argh, too, for the first one.
Grrr...Argh.
Didn't we use Grr... Argh for the Buffy thread after the show was over? Anyway, I like Emotional Resonance and Rocket Launchers.
It's OK if I have an opinion regarding a name of a thread I'll probably never post in, right?
We already used the "Grr Arrgh" option for the end-of-BtVS Buffy thread: Jon B. "Buffy 4: Grr. Arrgh." May 14, 2003 2:04:28 pm PDT
But other than that, for me, the "Grr Arrgh" quote, as adorable as it may be, signifies an ending - of an episode, which could be a new episode, of course, but still, an ending. That's how we used it (or how I understood that we used it) at the end-of-BtVS thread. And I'd rather go with a less ending-things quote for a thread dedicated to things that are only now beginning or will begin in the future.
And regardless of that, I really like
The Jossverse: Emotional Resonance & Rocket Launchers
Wot Nilly sed.
Emotional resonance for some, miniature rocket launchers for others!
Nilly has put into words a back-of-my-mind concern I had over Grr...Argh as a thread beginning.
The Jossverse: Emotional Resonance & Rocket Launchers
Gets my vote.
ETA: Would it not be
The Jossverse 1: Emotional Resonance & Rocket Launchers
Or would we start numbering at 2?
Nilly's point about Grr Arrgh is mine. I love it, but it's not a beginning (to me).
(For the Bronzers among us, I'll mention I was tempted to propose Delusions of Grandeur; and [less so] Trust the Tale, Not the Teller; or Hemnoy.)
