Good Trouble and Righteous Fights

These days I'm more likely to say "Christ on a crutch!" or "For the love of jebuslug!", the latter primarily in fannish locations.

I catch myself saying "Kahless on crutches" sometimes. I blame Macedon and Peg's Voyager fanfic.

Nobody

It's gotta be better than the I liked it better when I was the Buffista!! look.

Heh! That is a good one. I think my husband is a Buffista-spirit baby. I told him that tonight's BtVS was being postponed until 11:00pm because of the Red Sox game. Now, my husband used to be a season ticket holder - was for years.

He ranted and raved, "IT'S ONLY APRIL. THERE'S NO NEED FOR THAT. CALL UP UPN38. THIS IS RIDICULOUS. WE HAVEN'T HAD NEW!BUFFY IN HOW LONG?"

But I think I'll learn an object lesson from Mr. Aimee and keep myself as the only born Buffista.

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

Probably wise. I'm very happy to finally be getting the BF into Buffy, but that doesn't mean I want him playing here.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

I will say, that it's nice to have something like this in common though, cause lord knows, MM and I don't have a lot in common. Plus, internet relationships have been known to put strain on other marriages.

I know we've said that telling someone you're going to MARCIE them is a very bad thing but will we be putting that anywhere official once MARCIE is up and running?

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

I'm assuming we're going to have a "how MARCIE works" section in the FAQ, or possibly the Site Etiquette, right? A line like "MARCIE is a tool for avoiding tension. Please don't subvert that by announcing when you've MARCIE'd someone -- it's just bad manners" would be a good thing to have.

with a gleam in my eye, and an almost airtight alibi

I don't think that's been said explicitly so far - where would it go, do you think: the FAQ?

Actually, I'm thinking it might belong on the "How-to" page.

I think the "how-to" page would make the most sense.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

glad we're back to Bureau stuff. Not that a quiet Bureau thread wouldn't be nice, but we have a natter thread.
