A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

I'm not saying don't post, but after posting as the new psued adn making the couple of jokes, if you have more to add to the discussion, why not post as Cindy.

Lookey there -- msbelle and I are one again.

From now on, if I'm in an argument I'll be saying "Cindy supports me in email".

Which is the same as saying "the flaming otter supports me in email."

Florida's a very dangerous state

Hey!

Umm, really don't have a strong opinion about the psued's. And I figure it is up to the spoiler people to decide on whether a Wonderfalls spoiler thread is needed.

Hmm, apparently I don't need to be here. Now to tackle the many hundred of posts that seem to have been made today.

If I only had a brain...

So far, I'm charmed by the ferrets, the minions, and the lurkers.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

I don't think the pseuds are a problem -- they don't result in flaming, trolling, or spamming. And Clovis can't actually type.

Nope, it's a Teppy-ism.

Actually, this is making me wonder if maybe it should be in the FAQ.

Dude! I wanna be in the FAQ! Memememe!!!

Ahem.

(I thought "In-E-mail-We-Lurkers-Support" was funny as hell.)

I can't even.

Word. And I was having fun trying to figure out who it was. I wasn't even close.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

Neither was I.

The only thing that has bothered me about it is the brief, horrible flashes of memories of Other Boards that it conjured up for me. Of course, Other Boards aren't this one.

And Clovis can't actually type.

Clovis doesn't seem like a sock puppet or a pseud. He's a fully formed being of his own... He's different somehow.

I am not a big fan multiple IDs for various easons, mostly unspecified, but having to do with trust.

So I guess I'm on the same page with msbelle.

My only problem with pseuds are the old "if everyone did it" argument. However, it does not appear to have gotten out of hand yet, so I don't really mind.
