Uphill both ways in the snow!

Barefoot, and with no serial commas!

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

Uphill both ways in the snow!

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

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.

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.

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.

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.)

Good times, good times.

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

Yay! I finally made it to the end of this completely awesome thread! I've been giggling at it out loud for the past couple of days.

One of the problems with the b.org is that several of our members are pretty much real-life Mary Sues, ruining it for the rest of us.

This is so true! We have the most kickass people ever (sometimes literally) here and it makes our lives just so much richer. I think if you didn't all exist I'd have to make you up.

Anyway, welcome, welcome, lurkers and rare posters and crazy all the time posters! I am so happy to see you and to know about what's going on in your lives. Totally learning a bunch of stuff I didn't know.
