(If I'd thought of changing titles, I'd have been tempted to change the wrong!BoxedSets to "these are not the threads you've been looking for." Mostly, though, I'm glad I wasn't around at the right moment to make it four...)
Faith: A kid. Angel's got a kid. Wesley: Connor. Faith: A teenage kid born last year. Wesley: I told you, he grew up in a hell dimension. Faith: Right. And what, Cordelia spent her last summer as… Wesley: A divine being. Faith: Uh-huh. Can I just ask--What the hell are you people doing?
'Why We Fight'
Bureaucracy 2: Like Sartre, Only Longer
A thread to discuss naming threads, board policy, new thread suggestions, and anything else that has to do with board administration and maintenance. Guaranteed to include lively debate and polls. Natter discouraged, but not deleted.

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

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Well, the code was written assuming the complete perfection of all admins. Which is so self-referentially flawed that I may disappear in a puff of logic.
If there are no messages, I can delete ASAP. And that should be on the features list (in addition to the display of thread ID on the thread maintenance page).

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
I also considered changing them to something like "Boxed Set, Vol. 1: Dragnet, I Dream of Jeannie, and Dynasty."

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
only ita can kill a thread.
But can she prevent forest fires?

I was charmed (albeit somewhat perplexed) by the fannish sensibility of many of the music choices -- it's like the director was trying to vid Canada. --loligo on the Olympic Opening Ceremonies

Heh - my TiVo keeps thinking I want to see I Dream of Jeannie. I think I've finally convinced it to stop, though. (I'm fairly certain this is because I'm fond of the 1960s Batman reruns, but c'mon! Those are funny! For the big Batpole and the little Robinpole alone, they're worth it.)

Ann, that's a ferret.

We disabled that feature after about the fifth fishing-and-hunting show. Not sure why it thought we'd like that sort of thing, when most of what we tape is SF, science documentaries, and old movies.

I always thought the Batpole and the Robinpole were the same size. (Oh, would Dr. Wertham love that line...)

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I almost snorfled my root beer at that, Katie.

THAT'S what it reminded me of. Thank you Trudy. Oh. This isn't Natter. But this is natter. Oh, hell, it's it in a natteresque section.

I'm totally serious. If you watch it, you'll see that the pole that Batman slides down is considerably greater in diameter than Robin's.
