Look, you got a little stabbed the other day. That's bound to make anyone a mite ornery.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Unless we send HTML e-mails (I'm against that, FTR) there will be no t a tags. Which means any URLs will be spelled out, and may need ot be on their own lines to prevent being broken.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

I think it's a great idea to link to stuff in the confirm email. I also think no one will read it. We should link to it above the confirm password part, at least.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

But lacking in robots.

Does no one think of the robots?? t sob

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

Unless we send HTML e-mails (I'm against that, FTR)

Me too, actually -- which is what I get for posting my mental shorthand for "find the URL for this" as if it were actual prose.

I shall edit to fix that and include robots.

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

Welcome to Buffistas, a collective of people who watch Too. Much. Television.

You're now part of a collective of people who have sent rocket ships to Mars, been interviewed on NPR, have been nominated for an Emmy, published books on Bubblegum Pop, add new words to the dictionary, are experts in the most martial of the martial arts, been a contestant on Jeopardy!, produced the best in cult television, and can discuss the finer points of Salad Shooters for hours on end.

It's a big sandbox, and we share all the toys. We expect you to do the same, so please read the etiquette link carefully, and don't be shy about asking questions about our quirky culture and strange customs.

Buffistas is owned and operated by the users of the board, not any particular corporate entity.

Or you know, something. I just like showing off.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

I like what the Pixie said.

Ann, that's a ferret.

I love this paragraph.

Paragraph, will you marry me?

Or do you want an email request?

Well, I'm currently reading Bureaucrazy, so in-thread here or via email works.

I'm always available via email for BRQG change requests. Although it occurs to me that I should probably check my various accounts more often. (I can be avoidy because I could totally start up a livejournal called shitpeopleemailme.)

No need on my account, shrift. Thanks for the offer.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

My problem is that there are so many new posters joining at once that I'm having a hard time keeping them all straight.

DX, it's surely one of the first rules of Stompiehood that "Thou shalt not slash the Newbies".
