See, I'd never been exposed to the term being verbalized as "fack" before Somerville. I always assumed that if the term were spoken aloud, it would be as "eff-ai-cue" after the manner that the individual letters in URL are sounded out.
F2F 2: Is there anybody here that hasn't slept together?
Plan what to do, what to wear (you can never go wrong with a corset), and get ready for the next BuffistaCon: New Orleans! May 20-22, 2005!
I'm with Matt.
(I wish!!!)
(Hi Matt!)
Oh, Matt. Oh, Nora. Does this mean that you two have never read the Buffista etiquette filk? (Scroll to the end to admire the truly brilliant use of the "fack" pronunciation of FAQ.)
(Hi Nora!)
The FAQ Girl discussion brings up a question I've vaguely wondered about. What sort of impression do our gatherings generally make on the non-Buffista significant others who attend?
Well, OK, I *knew* about "fack" but my silly brain wants to spell it out.
I mostly want to be cool like Matt so I exaggerated.
There, are you happy now???

absents self from conversation, as last non-Buffista SO steadfastly refused to attend any Buffista gatherings, one of several factors in his becoming an ex-SO.

FAQ Girl likes you.
And P-C -- I'm sorry we didn't stay in NYC long enough to meet you. I was so looking forward to mocking your musical tastes in person.

I don't know about SOs, but vw's brother tends to roll his eyes a lot when we get going.
wipes streaming eyes, blows nose with a good hearty honk
Does he just roll them a lot, or FOREVER? Because if the latter, then I think you've got him, whether he wants to admit it or not.

Having only been to two gatherings, and without my spouse, I can't answer it Buffista-specifically. I did take Scott to couple of Bronzer shindigs in the Boston area (with Bronzers like Claris, Monique, Little Sister, OzLady, Megdalen, Polgara, Bastion Ridley). He had a good time.
Wanna know a nifty spousal relations thing I learned after last Monday's event, Matt?
