Wow. Nice to hear that it's not just me and amyth on the twop bile front. Omar does seem to have a good handle on the affectionate mocking thing.

I mean, when the recaps for Buffy are way harsher than they are for Smallville, it indicates a problem for me.

At this point, our very own MattTBF is my One True Recapper. Smart, succinct, and piss yer pants funny.

It's like rain on your wedding day, Gleebo!

Does anyone else find it odd or at least ironic that you can buy the Urn of Osiris on Ebay now?

It's no use. The urn's defiled. It's gone. Nothing, it was all for nothing. Buffy's gone. She's really gone.

Maybe the Buffy ones have gotten more extreme, but the Angel recaps were much worse than the Buffy ones for quite a while.

Wonder what happened to the orb of thessula (sp?)?

Someone's probably using it as a paperweight.

The only TWOP recaps I read on a regular basis are the ones for CSI (the recapper loves the show, and unless the episode is just plain wonky, the snark is more affectionate than bilious and the recaps read like genuine critiques) and Trading Spaces.

I'm assuming that Ganya refers to the Giles/Anya pairing?

I'm glad that the Phoenix isn't particularly pro or anti any 'ship (with the exception of radical TheirLoveIsSoPure! schmoopiness which demonizes--and not in the good way--any characters who threaten that One True Ship).

I can only read TWoP if it's a show I don't actually care about, like Charmed, otherwise, the bile (and the length! by the time I've read 12 pages, I could just as well have watched the show!) just irritate me.

I think they know snark is funny, and it's easier to write than beng genuinely pleased. I mean, how often can you say "Wow" and not sound like a pathetic fangirl?

This is me, only with Enterprise. I like to read some of the forums occasionally, too. I think the Firefly forum was troubling some of the admins, filled as it was with such lack of snark.

What's the longest anyone has gone in the Buffyverse without being struck by the smoking curse? 'Cause it looks like Faith has a pretty good shot at breaking the record.

My mother is having a day out of Flooded. She was getting central air installed. The installers noticed her furnace (which is only 9 years old) is rusted out, in some part that can eventually make it go kaboom. So she now needs a new furnace.

When she was walking in the yard with the HVAC guy (for some reason) she slipped on a rock and went right down on her face.

When the HVAC guys are putting in the furnace and AC unit, they find a water pipe is leaking onto a gas pipe, and corroding it. She needs a new water pipe (and the HVAC guys don't do this - it's not a sales gimmick) so she has a call into her plumber, for that one. She needs two 25 foot lengths of pipe. As a courtesey, the HVAC guys take a look at the gas pipe, it's not just corroding, but corroded, and leaking gas in small amounts, so she'll have to have the plumber change that as well.

I told her about Buffy's, "No full copper repipe."

She pretended to laugh. But I think she actually wanted to beat the HVAC guys to death.
