Buffistas

No. You're missing the point. The design of the thing is functional. The plan is not to shoot you. The plan is to get the girl. If there's no girl, then the plan, well, is like the room.

What is even happening?

I read this post from flea, this morning:

I've been trying to build a fannish community for myself elsewhere, and while I've made one close friend and have several friendly acquaintances whom I like, mostly the process has just made me appreciate the Buffistas more than ever. The fact that this happened? And we're like this? So many of us? Wow.

...and nodded along with it.

I read it tonight again, when Zenkitty quoted it.

The next post was Jessica's:

I think you can put down mulch whenever, but gardening when it's mid-40s is miserable, so.

I know Jess was actually talking about gardening but was still chewing over what flea said, and I think I mostly mulched at other websites, but here I gardened.

Cindy, whereas one of the other websites I read for the comments uses "gardening" as a euphemism for sex. So I read "gardening in the mid-40s" as a whole other thing also!

Woo hoo. That's too funny, meara.

I came back to be clearer than I was in the earlier post. I wasn't paying so much attention to the "when it's mid-40s is miserable, so..." part of the discussion.

I saw the flea quote, and then the "you can put down mulch whenever, but gardening..." and that brought me back to what flea said about this place and you people.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Ha! I'm not doing much "gardening" in my mid-40s, either...

Matt, I am so sorry. My condolences.

So sorry to hear about your cousin, Matt.

Ann, that's a ferret.

My condolences, Matt and family.

We took ltc to check out the karate studio in town yesterday, and she loved it. Hitting things while getting to shout is definitely high on my girl's list of enjoyable activities. She's going to be taking classes twice a week.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

I'm editing a figure for one of my articles; the article is about rehabilitation after a stroke. And the figure has examples of physical therapy and occupational therapy exercises; one of these exercises is modeled after Jeopardy (I feel like there's some copyright infringement there), and it's called "Stroke Jeopardy." Which sounds like the worst game show EVER.
