And I wonder, what possible catastrophe came crashing down from heaven and brought this dashing stranger to tears?

I will be very grumpy if a KristenT registers. I will try to be at least as gracious as Kristen was when I showed up, though. (She was very gracious.)

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift

Gotcha. In that case, the current method seems to be doing the job. If people are getting squicky feelings about a master member list then change is probably not a good thing.

It's not like we've come up against a significant problem yet, even with the influx of new folks.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

I think we would probably ask a KristenT to change her username to something else. It'd be too close.

Anyway, that would allow you to be gracious about it, smug in the knowledge that you got there first.

Heh. Thanks, DX: that's the best kind of gracious.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

Also chiming in with love for Allyson's "Welcome to the Buffistas" paragraphs.

How are you me? You need to stop that. Only I can be me. ~Kara

I like the robots, Allyson's paragraph and Laura made my day while retroactively removing a wiggins. And I didn't know that was possible.

No, I don't think I will - me, quoting Captain Steve Rogers, to all of 2020

I am with ya on this MarvelMan

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAA!!!

Okay. Some of you might not get why I'm laughing.

Anyway...I dig Allyson's paragraph, I want more robots and I think we should add "Abandon all hope, ye who enter" to the end.

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.

Okay. Some of you might not get why I'm laughing.

What? They're just calling you by your British name.

I did say some fellow comics geek.

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