I'll just jump in my time machine, go back to the twelfth century, and ask the vampires to postpone their ancient prophesy for a few days while you take in dinner and a show.

"We're all stories, in the end. Just make it a good one, eh?"

I once tried to arrest the Prime Minister. I didn't succeed.

Want. Story. Now.

I, too, hope it was Thatcher. (Just as long as it wasn't Major.)

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I, too, hope it was Thatcher.

Reminds me of the anarchist joke Rick tells on The Young Ones....

Knock knock.

Who's there?

Thatcher!

Yep, that's the entire joke.

Montreal is a great city and I have a bunch of family there. Next time I visit, I'll post in Apocolypse and we could have a mini-F2F!

Of course, Montréal is on the East Coast and, as such, could be proposed as the site of this year's F2F.

Punishingly Intricate

hey ya'll! I may as well be a full on lurker these days. I'm hobbled by busier job (yay work) and sharing an office and no computer at home (which is changing as of tomorrow I think). (I enjoy parenthesis! And exclamation marks!!! and I over and misuse the word 'AWESOME')

Anyway, I'm lisah and I've been around since maybe the 4th thread on TT? For many a year at any rate. Over the years I've posted inconsistently but I've kept up pretty well.

I live in B'more which, like sarameg, I love!!! I am a technical writer/editor (and, recently, de facto project manager, oi) for a small but rapidly growing software company that does exceptionally boring work for the gov't. I also sing in rock bands. And promote the awesomeness of my city. I run an assisted living facility for two elderly cats and one verrrrry elderly dog. After being single for many years I met an amazing guy at, of all places, a baby shower last year. Sadly, he lived in Chicago. Happily, he moved here a few months ago and now lives with me in my house!!! I'm still pretty freaking excited about all that!

I LOVE olives, am okay with cilantro, really don't understand why you wouldn't use the serial comma, and think an extra space after sentences is pointless.

Because books.

I love that the extra space has now become a de facto part of the ... de facto Buffista survey.

I love that the extra space has now become a de facto part of the ... de facto Buffista survey.

I know! I'm so proud.

Trust my rage

I had no idea that the double space was so...not in vogue. I wonder if Word corrects it for me because I think I always do it.

I should add to my initial results--I like olives and cilantro, I'd probably like a muffuletta, and I was trained to use the extra space by both law school and the Department of Labor, but my current job has beat it out of me.

I love how the map is blossoming! It's like spring and the flowers coming in! We have points on every continent (except Antarctica). It's so cool!

Hey, I'm Jars. I totally feel like a lurker lately! I've been on the board since... 2001/2 or thereabouts, I reckon. When I was about 17? Which is horrifying. Apologies to all for my general toolishness when young. I'm sure I must be less of a tool now.. right? Right? Guys?

I have recently become a Londoner, am accidentally married to a real live American and have two cats, Pete and Clive. One's a girl, one's a boy.

I've met a decent number of Buffistas and they are never less than interesting.

This is a very cool thread!
