I tell you I have this theory. It goes where, you're the one who's not my sister. Cuz mom adopted you from a shoe box full of baby howler monkeys, and never told you cuz it could hurt your delicate baby feelings.

Religion isn't the cause of wars. It's the excuse. - Christopher Brookmyre

The nearly final Buffy deathmatch is going right now. I remember the vote was for closing it after the deathmatches were completed, but what do people think about keeping it availible for people to run more deathmatches? I know there's been some interest.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I think Sophie makes excellent points, and I do think that newbies would be better served first reading the site etiquette, rather than the FAQ, before "joining in the fun." People looking to learn their way around a new place may look for a FAQ, but I bet more will click on the one thing we say to read before posting.

If you're talking about me, then no. I started reading when y'all were still on TT, but I didn't delurk until Worldcrossing (never registered at TT). I believe the context was a Natter conversation about upstate New York, actually; I don't believe there was guacamole involved, but I don't think I posted again for a while, either.

Other board variants on K-names I can't speak for, of course...

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

David, you may want to take Suela's real name off that list.

Katie P isn't Kate P, either. Katie P, um, used rap lyrics for taglines and often added extraneous "e"s to the ends of words.

an overblown libretto and a sumptuous score/ could never contain the contradictions I adore

  Well, she was olde schoole. As we all were, back then.

No, that was Katie who used to get so upset when people would call SMG unhealthily thin.

Eric! Oh, he was so funny.

Jerry used to be over in the WX TT forums, but I haven't seen him in ages.

Hey, I remember that conversation!

Why did my brain devote energy to remembering that conversation? Gah.

Snerke, Holli. (Odd what the brain pulls up, though. I'm sure there was more to Katie P than that.)
