"abounds" doesn't really mean it's true for a high percentage of fans, does it? Or is that implied by context?

It could refer to a small number of very generous people.

And if you perform a particularly memorable sexual act, it could reach cult status with how much we talk about it and reference it in our daily lives.

But FOX will cancel it.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Abounds:
1. To be great in number or amount.
2. To be fully supplied or filled; teem.

More than other fandoms? Really? I doubt it.

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 was confused by the "one glove" thing, but maybe he uses it to polish his pants.

Because books.

Jesse, we don't get Ellen till four here, so I'm just watching it, but wow. The prom girl -- Constance McMillan -- has an excellent dad. That made me a little teary.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

I think the one glove is an homage to Michael Jackson.

If you are wishing continued employment here, we will need to rework your schedule so it is not so difficult for you to come to work and attendance will be expected on scheduled days.

This is probably too late, but I'm not sure you should imply that its being "difficult" is an acceptable reason to miss work. Maybe just "If you do wish to continue to work here, we will put together a schedule for the rest of the semester that you will be expected to meet."

It's such a shame that you can't write: "We haven't seen or heard from you for three weeks. That means you are either 1) dead or 2) fired."

Open-minded kinkiness abounds.

I suspect that open-mindedness may abound, but not so much the execution.

Joss Whedon fans: They hope to have dates on Friday nights, but the dates keep getting rescheduled or canceled.

Ginger- I did actually change it to "If you are wishing continued employment, we will need to make a schedule that you are able to consistently work without a large number of unexpected absences." Which in retrospect is an incredibly awkward sentence.

I hate doing this in email, and I also hate that my boss wants to work with her. I mean, I should be really glad that the same attitude saved me from being fired this fall, but I know if I let myself be, I am way more harsh than my boss. She basically just wanted me to literally ask "What is your status?" and let the student decide. I actually thought "what is your status?" would be confusing.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

What is the best reason to date a Whedon fan?

Open-minded kinkiness abounds.

My boyfriend would enthusiastically agree, though as pointed out above, my sample size of one does not equal "abounding."

Which is why we wait for th DVDs.
