I'm sorry. You were going to ask me to choose, right? Did you want to finish?

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

smonster, remember getting pumpkin ice cream at Graeter's? (Actually, did you get the pumpkin? I know I did, because I'm a whore for all things pumpkin.)

Since it's October, pumpkin is back as the flavor of the month! Butterfat, here I come!

Now tagless for your comfort.

I saw erika's dog violate a plush toy so I want extra credit for that.

Oh, and her mom is a killer cook.

But not in a Mrs. Lovett kind of way.

Here's a question, mostly for the lurkers: how do you refer to stuff you learn here @ b.org to non-buffistas? I have started so many sentences with "I just saw/read this really interesting thing, and..." and then I realize I have no good way to explain who ya'll are. My hubby knows, but most of my friends and coworkers don't get the concept of such an online community ("No, it's NOT like FB!"), and I'm reduced to mumbling, then quickly changing the subject. Of course, that hasn't kept me from dropping hints to new kewl people I meet, in wild hopes that they might already be a buffista. Is there a secret handshake we should know about?

Always Anti-fascist!

Totally, dude. It's like one of the Bitches is an actual bitch. Those steaks were awesome, yeah.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I have started so many sentences with "I just saw/read this really interesting thing, and..."

That's pretty much how I do it. Also, some really good stories happen to "a friend of a friend."

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

With co-workers, I can usually get away with "I saw [x] on the internet" or "A friend sent me this link."

when i die, please bake my ashes into a brick and use me to hit fascists.

how do you refer to stuff you learn here @ b.org to non-buffistas?

If I'm linking on my LJ, I actually say "from the Buffistas" because, well, there are like only three people who read my LJ anyway, so it's mostly for me.

In everyday conversation, it's usually "a discussion board on the Internet."

hip deep in pie

I outed my b.org-ness to my friend in NY, who won't even sign up for Facebook. Once he got over the initial shock, he was like, "I never realized you were such a geek."

eta:

"A friend sent me this link."

That is my fallback.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

I usually say something like, "Hey, a friend of mine..."

But, you know, most of my peeps are online.
