Maybe with a little clean up this could be Castle Gudanov?

Not so much a castle but dark and gothic.

Well, I just Photoshopped this. Though it seems a bit too... wholesome, I think.

The pictures on this page look surprisingly similar to the houses in my part of town.

Holli, are you in Victoria? Because that's what the houses on my street look like, too.

Should we take this to the Sang thread?

Yeah, I think that would be wise.

Yup, DX. To both.

Oh no, please let's not. She gets to tell us. This isn't a drama series with a plot and an arc; it's a game show.

Wrod. Give me a break.

Um . . . wow. That's . . . incredibly rude. Because, you know, this site isn't about a game show, with real people and unscripted excitement; it's about a drama series.

I said not one thing about not wanting to know of a Buffista's appearance on a game show. Yes, tell, absolutely, I will set five different VCRs to tape it and put a TiVo on layaway. But I want to cheer them on! and I can't do that when I know they're gonna lose.

(None of this, by the way, should be interpreted as being upset with Jen for sharing the information. She, obviously, was there already, and would share little of my incentive. Which is why I merely sighed, rather than asked for a FAQ addition or something.)

I am sorry you do not watch game shows for the drama. I do (among other things). Now, let's let sleeping dogs lie down with fleas, or something.

Jeopardy is on 5 nights a week, 52 weeks a year. That gives you 259 other episodes to watch for the drama.

I did not intend to be rude in my original post (which is the first half of what you quoted). I can't help but laugh at your pronouncement that I (or we) was (or were) rude though, as I was always taught it was extremely rude to say, "That was rude." I'm done playing on the who's rude merry-go-round, so now, I'm just going to be blunt.

t blunt

I was concerned that your complaint was going to cause a spoiler kerfluffle. I was afraid of another one, over Jeopardy, which I see mentioned here far less often than duct tape (which--SPOILER--is sticky).

Since we're apparently offering assessments, I found your post petty in both content and delivery. You were complaining about being spoiled for 22 minutes of a game show, as if that 22 minutes of lost suspense somehow trumps someone else's right to share her actual life experience with her friends.

It would have been more constructive to have actually asked for a clarification of board policy for shows we don't typically discuss, than to sigh at someone, and be specific enough about it, to note you weren't doing so with a wink.

t /blunt and probably rude as well

Jeopardy! is in reruns eight weeks a year, so it's actually 219 other episodes per year. Of course, this is still a much larger number than 21 or 25 (out of 22 or 26), so the justification for your rudeness is still secure.

so the justification for your rudeness is still secure.

If you think it's rude for me to agree with someone who doesn't want to get into a spoiler discussion about a game show -- and given how often Buffistas are on game shows, I think your spoiler purity is 99% intact -- then that's your prerogative. Because I still agree.

I'll also note you didn't congratulate Jengod on something exciting that happened in her real life (and of course it's your prerogative not to), but took the opportunity to whine that 22 minutes of your TV viewing was spoiled.
