Trust me, fandom never lost it.
No doubt! But am I wrong in thinking it's way more overtly, consciously slashy than was common at that time?
Giles: I'm sure we're all perfectly safe. Dawn: We're safe. Right. And Spike built a robot Buffy to play checkers with. Tara: It sounded convincing when I thought it.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
msbelle, that'll be gorgeous. So much so that I'm considering stealing it for my staircase landing. The standard rental-house light fixture that's there now needs to go.
Lest I forget: I believe my niece has some size 8 Doc Maarten boots she intends to sell. Anyone interested? (not sure what they look like, but they're definitely black.)

Anyone heard from Erika today?

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
Here is Yet Another Way In Which I Am Like Sheldon:
On another Web site, someone posted, "Maybe I've been under a rock, but...what's the deal with bacon? I don't get it!"
And I actually replied, "What deal? There's a deal with bacon? It's...a food product made from pig, generally cooked and eaten with breakfast."
I truly had no idea what this person was asking, until Tim told me, "She's probably wondering why people seem to be apeshit about it, why there's t-shirts and bacon salt and baconaise and bacon band-aids and bacon car air fresheners." Honest and for true, I wouldn't have interpreted her post that way.
I should change my tagline to "There's a deal with bacon?"
Why people don't just say what they mean, I will never understand. t /Sheldon

Art Crawl!!!
I saw the episode when it aired and man - I hadn't remembered how slashy it was.

Danger is my middle name, only I spell it R. u. t. h. - Tina Belcher.
I saw the whole arc a few years ago when some cable channel was running it. It struck me as uber-slashy, but it may have been that I was a Buffista by then and could see it.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
I do think it's one of those shows that was invented for slash goggles.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
There's a deal with bacon?
I love this. It sends my brain to a beautiful "buy 3 slices of bacon, we'll throw in the fried egg for free!" place.
Okay, and at the risk of sounding stupid I have to ask about the passage Kat quoted above:
we cannot allow the hard left to do what it tried to do in 1995 after the Oklahoma City bombing,” he wrote.
What did the hard left do after the bombing? Demonize people who bomb federal buildings? Call McVeigh crazy? My memory doesn't recall the left generating a lot of political capital out of the bombing.

Thanks, amych. I was concerned when I hadn't seen her pixels that through some unlikely fluke chance, her political involvement had taken her to Tuscon today.
