The latest sample of trolliciousness from the Buffy study thread
OMG, where is this, JZ? I'm dying to watch.
Inara: Mal, this isn't the ancient sea. You don't have to go down with your ship. Mal: She ain't going down. She ain't going anywhere.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Here you go, 'Suela. The article itself is mildly interesting, summarizing a study that was clearly someone's first-year grad school project and no doubt flawed as all hell but still entertaining, but the comment thread is a truly delicious feast of witless pomposity and "Why does the entire universe not bow down before the magnificent edifice that is my colossal cock?" pity partying.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
dismissing most of what they say as irrelevant, listening only for symptoms, and prescribing the same medicine they prescribe every time they hear those symptoms, which half the time doesn't work
Oh yay, more doctor bashing, how I haven't missed you from this forum.

Oh, that article. Man, that was weeks ago! Amazing it's still going on.
And yeah, the Atlantic comments sections are a hive of villainy, once you venture outside TNC's walled (and well-pruned) garden.

So you think that martial artists have to practice a style developed by someone else?
If not, why do I have like 15 books of Shotokan kata, and why did we spend hours trying to figure out Gichin Funakoshi's original intentions and mocking people who make up their own styles?

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
Bruce Lee did!
With no fixed position! The Buffy study trolls are merely emulating him.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
Why are the people who are clearly back-in-parking-challenged the ones who back into a spot?
Because they’re also back-out parking challenged?
Today I am a man!
That was awesome. Although super annoying to realize that little bit of grudging respect wouldn’t have been there had he realized you were a woman. I need to find a way to deal with these guys the way I deal with sexist hardware store employees. (I ask for a cheeseborough and when they don’t know what it is I explain that it is a clamp for holding two pieces of Schedule 40 pipe together. If the guy is a total asshole I get into fixed vs swivel.)
Today I am an asshole. At least according to the oh-so charming man who all but yanked me into the seat next to him when I really just wanted to go to the back of the bus like I usually do. An hour next to Mr. Hateful was the icing on top after a day of cranky and territorial people and a four-day headache. I think I need to go immerse myself in good stuff for awhile.

Bwah! I adore you.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Thanks Matt. Now I want an absinthe spoon, but will make due with the spoons I have.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Oh yay, more doctor bashing, how I haven't missed you from this forum.
It's my experience. And not just from one doctor. I have had good experiences with doctors too. I've never said "all doctors suck".
But whatever. I'll add "frustration with how I've been treated by most doctors I've seen" to the growing list of Shit I Can't Talk About Here. I don't want to make anyone feel bad.

Because that must be avoided, no matter what. Description of authentic personal experience aside.
