My kids have been watching Phineas and Ferb (animated series) lately and I turned to Lewis at one point and said, "Who's voicing Dad?" When he didn't know, I pulled it up on IMDB and discovered it was Richard O'Brien.

Talk about a mindwhoopee.

Isn't he dead?

(Wait, no, I was thinking of Richard Harris.)

It's sure great to see everyone, poking their heads in, and giving updates on their lives.

billytea, you show up on my map! If I zoom in on Oz, there are 4 balloons and you are one of them.

Huh. Opera doesn't show blue pins. I didn't remember I'd coded it that way. But, yeah, bt, you're totes there. Can't you see you? You're behind Drusilla, but you're there.

I can see me now. Don't know why I couldn't before, but it's all good.

Hi, bicyclops!

You're behind Drusilla

Chances are good then that Spike is behind you. Don't turn around.

billytea, I see you and Drusilla in Melbourne.

That could end badly. billytea - if you hear the words "Run and catch" I say run.

I saw the guy who played the Narrator doing Mycroft Holmes in PBS' Sherlock Holmes series.

Wait - he played Mycroft in the PBS one too? He was Mycroft in The Seven Percent Solution. Charles Gray, I believe.

I don't know if it counts as delurking to post, since I haven't gone away, but I only read/post in Lit, Boxed Set, Fic, and Supernatural these days. B.org is blocked at work and I can't access it, so there's no way to keep up with the faster-moving threads.

I'm Consuela, I was posting on the very first TT Buffy thread, along with a few others still here (Hec, I think, and maybe Betsy)--but I was posting under my real name, which I don't use online anymore. My Buffista claim to fame is that Tim Minear first delurked to answer a nitpick I made.

I live in the East Bay of CA, in a small house with a sweetly neurotic rescue German Shepherd and too many books. I work for the fed, in a job whose specific description is entirely awesome and that I cannot actually say in public because I'm the only person in the country doing this. Let's just say it has to do with historic preservation and major aids to navigation.

I'm dealing with aging parents and all that that entails, so my life isn't likely to get calm and peaceful anytime soon.

I'm pro-cilantro, anti-olive, pro-Oxford comma, learned the two spaces after a period, and have finally given up on Dollhouse after watching all of Buffy, Angel, and Firefly on the first run. I have posted fanfic in X-Files, Farscape (MY SHOW!), the Gateverse, and Supernatural. I feel like a bad Buffista because hardly any of it is porny.

Just got back from a two-week trip to Peru with three friends I met online, in which I learned how to tell the difference between llamas and alpacas, hiked the Inca Trail to see Machu Picchu at dawn, ate mountains of rice and the best ceviche ever, and dodged the poop of blue-footed boobies. I had some excellent traveling companions, as well.

Anyway, it's totally lovely to meet all the lurkers, and to see all these old familiar names, like Betsy & CV & Holli. I don't suppose anyone knows where Agnes or Doctor Satan are...?

Since the conversation in this thread, I've realized that the only place I use two spaces at the end of a sentence is on my phone, because that's how the auto-formatting works. (Two spaces after a word triggers a period and capitalization of the next thing you type without having to navigate to the punctuation keyboard. Keen!)
