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

Just getting it all in one place ...

Lightbulbs is open -- Allyson goes first.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

Oh! Here's a question. Am I allowed to hit the campaign trail for my thread? Can I go into other threads and pass out "Vote Tim. Or DIE!!!" buttons? Shake babies and kiss hands?

Because that's the way I'd do things, if I were Queen Dictator Empress.

Remember how Cordy handed out those chocolates with a "C" on them, when she was running for May Queen? I am prepared to pretend I'm on the fence about the Tim thread, if doing so gets me chocolate. Any letter will suffice, though a nice scythe (a realistic looking one) or guillotine would seem more in keeping with the theme of the thread.

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

Me too! I'm on the fence. Really, I am. Where's my choccys?

How are you me? You need to stop that. Only I can be me. ~Kara

Oh, blast, I already posted that I'm sold. I should have read this thread first.

I am a little worried about Allyson. I gave her the perfect set-up to come back with: I don't think I need the loony-fringe vote.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

I really am on the fence, or perhaps more accurately, I have no strong feelings about it in either direction. I believe this makes me an ideal candidate for bribery, and would like to suggest lemon crisp biscuits (we opened a packet of them this week. Damn, they're good), wagon wheels or Haigh's chocolates. Iced Vovos will do in a pinch.

Thank you for your consideration as a candidate for rampant corruption.

Another social casualty...

Over in Light Bulbs there has been mention about eventually cleaning up the Buffy threads. I was wondering where UnAmericans are wrt to Buffy.

I was wondering where UnAmericans are wrt to Buffy.

Aussies have just seen First Date, which is ep. 14, so we have roughly 2 months to go depending on whether or not there's a vitally important sports match of some kind between now and then.

I'm jealous that the Brits have new Firefly. I'd like them warned, suspended, and banned, please.
