"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

I know. Those bootleg discs in my office.

Scofflaw!

Uphill both ways in the snow!

Barefoot, and with no serial commas!

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Barefoot Scofflaw would be a good name for a band. Or a cat.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Uphill both ways in the snow!

Because it's the Buffistas, I knew it wouldn't be long before someone mentioned the other way.

"And that's why God Almighty gave us fire insurance and the public defender".

I usually refer to stuff I link to/mention from b.org as "saw it on the web", "at the Buffistas" or "My other board", depends on how well the other side of the conversation knows me.

Danger is my middle name, only I spell it R. u. t. h. - Tina Belcher.

My goodness we are a wordy bunch!

Hi, I'm quester, real name Antonia, Toni (or Supreme, Serene Bitch to my younger sisters)!

I found these funny, scarily intelligent bunch on Table Talk and I don't know when that was.

I'm mostly about the Watch-n-post so I hang in the TV threads the most. Though, the WnP of the conventions and election returns in Natter have been some of my favorites!

I was literally knocked out of my chair laughing by the Great Anthropomorphized Lightbulbs vs Candle Flames Debate and the Boobular Containment discussion.

I started out in online fandom at a renegade figure skating board, but lost interest in the off-season when the more mainstream fans started flooding the place.

I wandered into TT and saw there was a Buffy thread and went "OoH!" I've been drawn to this community ever since.

I know not from serial commas and such, cannot and would not eat a muffaletta due to gluten allergy and no mammal-meat-eating.

Sometimes I think you're all a bunch of FREAKS! with the strong opinions on such things but I loves it, yess, my precious!

I have only met Gudonov and aurelia in person, as I was living in Kansas City, far from most of you. Now I live in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, which is even farther from most of you! Makes me sad, it does.

I have used one of my last unemployed days reading this thread, AIFG!

I always tell people that I have imaginary friends on the internet. They laugh at me behind my back, but I don't care.

I have recently found out that my brother is a Firefly fan, and one of my (many) sisters is a die-hard Joss fan, but as far as I know neither has ever ventured in here.

I love this place and all of you! You have amused and enriched and encouraged and...yeah. Make that Hells Yeah!

Boobular Containment discussion

Hee, that was fun, wasn't it? I think I only lurked on that conversation due to my lack of said boobage, but I giggled while reading it.

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!

For a long time, with my mother--I think it was the five years between 17 and 22--everyone I knew from the b.org was a "friend of Steph's." And I think I mumbled that Steph was someone I knew from college. I'm not sure I ever told you that, Steph! But I couldn't figure out how to explain internet people to my mom, especially internet people I was traveling across the country to meet. After college, though, I just said "internet friend" and she seems to take it in stride.

Nana korobi, ya oki. (Fall down seven times, stand up eight.) ~Yuzuru Hanyu/Japanese proverb

My family's so used to hearing about Buffistas, now, that whenever I go away for even a day or two they ask me if I'm visitng my friends from the Buffy board. Hee, they know me so well. I don't necessarily advertise to others, but I often tend to have fandom related desktops even at work, so once folks find out I'm a fan of various shows I'll often loosen up enough to start talking about online fandom (although, not necessarily the board name.)

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

I was literally knocked out of my chair laughing by the Great Anthropomorphized Lightbulbs vs Candle Flames Debate

Good times, good times.

And I think I mumbled that Steph was someone I knew from college. I'm not sure I ever told you that, Steph!

Well, I did visit you at college, so that's ballpark-y. Or the parking lot of the ballpark.
