Fred: So you don't worry that it's possible for someone to send out a biological or electronic trigger that effectively overrides your own sense of ideals and values and replaces them with an alternative coercive agenda that reduces you to a mindless meat puppet? Shopkeeper: Wow. People used to think that I was paranoid.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

OMG, Joe! You're a daddy!

Does he have a nickname, or is it always the full "Thelonious"?

Our wings are not tired.

Beautiful beautiful baby.

Liese, thanks for filling newbies like me in on the deets.

I may have to seize the cat.

Hi Buffistas! I bought Gothic Charm School today and reading the acknowledgments made me realize how much I miss you so I thought I'd come say hello.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Kiba! Even though I see you all over the internets, it's lovely to see you *here*.

Judean People's Front?

People's Front of Judea!

::fistbumps backatcha:: That was good times. Crashed in the boys' room. You & Jon were good roomies. Plus! The purchase of the silver pleather sex jacket!

I also have met Gudanov, katefate, & Steph L. in person in their various cities along my east-west travel route.

(Oh, and javachik, you're totally not a newbie!)

“Not dead yet!”

Well goodness gracious, Kiba! Long time. Not that you'd know me under this name. Once upon a LONG time ago, I posted as Renegade.

Joe, congrats on your son! He's beautiful!

It's neat to be reminded of/discover the life changes that have taken place over the years.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

Oh, the dinner of the Inexplicable Fire Alarm that the waiter of another table said could be going off for any number of reasons...but never mentioned that it could, in fact, be BECAUSE OF A FIRE.

The Boy is still sad he didn't get to kick out the window and dive out onto Fountain Square.

aka "The artist formerly known as Corwood Industries."

OK, fine. If Joe Boucher has posting here, then I will, too.

I'm Hayden Childs, been with the Buffistas since TT, although my contributions have been more limited of late. I use the pseud because I have occasionally blown off some steam about my job online. The pseud comes from the record label for the outsider musician Jandek. I wrote about Jandek and a few other musicians for David's book Lost In The Grooves. I also wrote about Richard & Linda Thompson's Shoot Out The Lights for the 33 1/3 series, and I run the webzine The High Hat, which we haven't updated in a long time. Oh, I'm in Austin, TX. And I've met a bunch of Buffistae, but never been to an official F2F.
