Okay, I give up. What does the little symbol with the < and then a 3 (which won't show up if I type it straight here) mean? Is it an erect penis? A barebreasted conehead? Something non-sexual? (Seems unlikely, since this is fandom after all...)

I was charmed (albeit somewhat perplexed) by the fannish sensibility of many of the music choices -- it's like the director was trying to vid Canada. --loligo on the Olympic Opening Ceremonies

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
It's a ♥ on its side.

...oh. Right.
I really have been in fandom too long, haven't I?

I've been seeing "XD" a lot. I've been assuming it's something like a laughing face, but I have no particular evidence for that assumption. Anyone?

All is well that ends in pizza.
I just saw a bit of a skit on an old Saturday Night Live with Paul Reiser as guest. There was a Superman sketch, set at the Daily Planet.
Michael McKean was in the cast that year (1994-1995) and in the skit, he played....Perry White!

a lovely Jack/Daniel essay
I enjoyed that. And I see Katie got a rec in the comments ... excellent! (I love that one; among the first I ever read, I think.)
Though, I have to say, the example from Shades of Gray (Grey?) leaves out the best part ... which is the "No, it doesn't. We drew straws. I lost." That right there? Perfection. (OK, exaggeration. Still.)
And I think I must have forgotten a significant chunk of Devil You Know, because I can't place it for a damn.

Wasn't that his second go-round? I like him, but poor bugger just can't seem to catch a break.

Not sure what you mean by that...

Wow, on reread my post was unusually harsh.
I just remember him being much older than any of the other new faces that year, had previously been on SNL a few times, and almost seemed to be moving backwards careerwise when he became a cast regular in 94-95. But on second thought, he's done pretty well for himself so he's not really a poor bugger by any stretch. Also I'm halfway through A Mighty Wind and LMAO, but that's neither here nor there.
ETA: His fake bandmates (Harry Shearer and Christopher Guest) were both regular SNL cast member in 84-85, which may be why I though he was previously a cast member too.
