You'd like them if they had some flourish, Jess. Perhaps in Palatino Linotype, or maybe if they flashed in a marquee tag across the screen. Or smilie faces holding the letters while dancing.
Did I mention that I lost my mind, today?
On my seventh birthday, I wanted a toy fire truck, and I didn't get it, and you were real nice about it, and then the house next door burnt down, and then real firetrucks came, and for years I thought you set the fire for me. And if you did, you can tell me!

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

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!
Hmmm... what if I made them maroon, like your user name in the upper left corner?

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

I was just about to suggest that. Heh.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
How about the NAFDA suddenly expands to 32-point type when you do a mouseover and shrieks like Wesley in Buffy S3?

Could try that.

I'm doing etiquette, but I think tina's doing the FAQ. We might want to bring the guacamole posts to her attention.
I've marked all pertinent posts. I am also making a giganto list of stuff to change for Jon. But I'll leave the site etiquette stuff off mine and he can use what Lyra Jane's collected.
I am in hangover recovery mode and about to watch some OC - but I plan on working on this and posting stuff to discuss/change/agree on in the near future.
I was just thinking that there are a lot more Buffista-specific words that aren't in the FAQ.
There are. There are also bunch that DX/Dana mentioned could be deleted that refer to Buffy plot points long gone or never mentioned here. And, like you said, a bunch more to add. I have a list started and will add to it as people throw em out there. If they come with definitions and/or Nilly'd links to their origin - all the more helpful.
And can I just say that the last time I posted in Bureau was to ask people for FAQ input and then I was gone for two days - came back to over 650 new posts and I nearly CRIED because I thought they were ALL FAQ posts. Whew.

and I nearly CRIED because I thought they were ALL FAQ posts.
So the acrimony was a plus for you personally, eh?
Maybe a Buffista Glossary would be easiest. Just pull those FAQ elements into one place.

Oh yeah -- the [NAFDA] looks a lot better, I think!

I agree. Stands out, but less jarring.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
tina, I have to say, I took a look at the FAQ, and the sheer number of changes resulting from the end of the shows makes me twitch, so thank you for volunteering to update it.
