This this this.
Mal: Does.. um.. does this seem kind of tight? Kaylee: Shows off your backside.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

There'll be a lot of mathier. But just the one hormone bomb.
IJS.
Remember what I said about the waffling? I think I'm doing it again.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Right there with you Sean.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
This time it's not waffling. This time it's the inexorability of my point.
Whole different vibe.

And you used the word 'inexorability' too. That's some serious mojo right there.

It does seem to be true that math will be with us always. Nothing comes to me for 15, so I tend to skip ahead to 2 to the 4th. (Too tired to figure out if I can superscript.) I'm sure Nilly could come up with an equation for almost any thread number.

No other candidate is asking the hard questions, like "Did geophysicists assassinate Jim Henson?" or "Why is there hydrogen in America's water supply?" --defective yeti
I wish that there was some other term for those of us who read but do not post. "Lurking" sounds so sinister, as though we are skulking around in the bushes while the rest of you have a party.
You're not lurking. You're standing about. It's a whole different vibe. Can't call you "standabouters," though. How about "lurchers"? Lurch, from the Addams Family, was a man of few words, yet very loyal and able to keep the family secrets to himself. (The true implication is that you are all our silent audience of lurching, drunken monkeys, but if you want to contest that, you're just going to have to sober up and delurch.)

an overblown libretto and a sumptuous score/ could never contain the contradictions I adore
oh! I love "standabouters." It's a bit unwieldy, I'll admit, but when has wordiness ever deterred us from a good in-joke?

How 'bout "extras?" Filling out the scene, but without any dialogue, yet. Instead of "delurking," we would say they "have lines!"

Shit's all sorts of different now.
Yes, and then, when they "have lines", they hafta give us $1500 to be a "real" Buffista.
