That would make us the people who hang out watching the Civil War re-enactors, which is even lamer, no?
i thought civil war reenactment was the civil war reenactment of the electronic age.
thank goodness pajamatools is stepping up to combat america's biggest problem: insufficient hectoring of the opposition party. GWOT!
Becks, we're main page bloggers! We're totally the Civil War reenactors. Watch me take out this Yankee with my Gatling, suckaz!
Dude! I researched nuclear weapons by A.D. 1860!
Fredericksburg this!
I know. There's something about thinking "Wow, cool, I'm blogging" and then thinking "And so is every fourteen-year-old in America."
Woot! You're right! I'd better go soak my buttons in urine!
Hey, you're kinky. Wait--you've got more than one?
Wait, which is supposed to be lame: blogging in se or blogging with Tom Swift jokes?
Also -- and here's the lamer flanking maneuver -- "citizen journalist" really isn't a Tom Swift-type subtitle.
Dude! I researched nuclear weapons by A.D. 1860!
If this is a Civilization reference, I am totally getting my swoon on.
SB, that totally is, swoon away. reminds me of the glory days of leading Aztec fighter divisions to crush the French Civilization...
I feel weird accepting swoonal authorization from a third party.
I can reliably conquer the world on Emperor-level in Civilization 2. Y'all'd be pitiful white dots in my vast Spanish empire by 1794. I'd only be letting you live to rack up points and savor my absolute power.
"Look upon my ill-gotten Time Magazine Blogger of the Year award and tremble, puny Senator!"
Look upon the line you meant to evoke, ye norbizness, and despair!
That was entirely too snitty. Sorry.
I feel like w-lfs-n, only after the gypsies cursed him with a soul.
Unfogged is welcoming to newcomers.
Unfogged is welcoming to newcomers.
Unfogged is welcom
w-lfs-n, assuming 15 is accurate, whatever you do, don't experience a moment of true happiness. That would be very bad.
Ben's got sooooul. And he's super-bad.
Assuming 15 is accurate, w-lfs-n can MoTH all he wants.
Nope, you were right, w/d. Now I'm going to go, before I start sharing candid details of Gary's sex life.
Oh, you feel the way w-lfs-n would feel if gypsies cursed him with a soul, but that hasn't actually happened?
21 written before I read 20, clarity achieved.
I know that I am Willow, and I don't even watch Buffy. I know that I'm Willow because people always tell me, "You are just like Willow."
Damn, I need to do my stats homework.
Actually, I think 17 and 21 are both right and wrong in equal measure. My strained metaphor is polysemous.
I read it as SB=Angel, w-lfs-n=Angelus. In which case, I hope that you in your wisdom, SB, can help me contain the monster within.
Most of us guys are pretty much just Xander.
Tia, it's possible your real-life persona is pretty different from your online one, since I don't think you come off all that Willow-like. Maybe Season 5-7 Willow.
I remember when there was actual football talk on the football threads, and no Buffy (it is Buffy?) jokes at all. Curse you, new Unfogged bloggers!
Weiner, I assumed that you, of all people, would have been a Buffy fan.
It may be that I would have been a Buffy fan, if I had a TV. Maybe someday I will watch the DVDs.
Does your computer read DVDs?
ac, successful completion of my monster abatement program would probably land you in the high-security pokey, right? And then how would you comment?
It does, but it is largely dedicated to goofing around on the internet when I should be grading.
Is this the football thread? Let us talk football!
Jerome Bettis paid the referees with money earned from his child prostitution ring. And he rigged the election for Hamas. And he rigged our election.
the money had to go somewhere, see? or he'd have to pay taxes on it, see? The reason they had to go to commercials so often was that Bettis kept stuffing the pants of the refs with dollar dollar bills, and trolling the stands for more children.
text, you silly billy. Those children were eaten.
it's cowher who eats them with his big nutcracking mandibles.
In olden days, of course, we used to throw the children in the steel pots to make better alloys. Like this, but just for the hell of it.
But it wasn't Jerome Bettis, whose shop full of antique clocks was burned to the ground in a lightning storm. It was Pancho Villa.
when the bells ring with "for thy sake, o my father" it means you have performed correctly.
Oh the reason they shot Pancho Villa
Was he danced on his mother's mantilla
And the message did not reach Garcia
He was out somewhere dancing on hats.
That may not be PC, though any offense pales before the baby-eating depradations of my favorite football team.
It is little known that Pancho Villa had a sixth toe on his left foot. And the sixth toe was actually his twin brother, Rauncho Villa, who Pancho absorbed into his body. At age seven.
Little known, because it is a lie.
Most of us guys are pretty much just Xander.
"Some of us", he said, taking off his glasses and wiping them, "are not."
And then how would you comment?
With my shiv.
Jerome Bettis has a shiv that he uses to cut the hearts out of true and noble unicorns.
Good, no one's claimed Cordelia yet. Dibs!
I know that I am Willow
Can I be Tara?
Tara is the sexist. Apos, can you pull it off?
SEXIST. Gawd! What is wrong with me?!?!?
I watched Spinal Tap last night. That is my excuse.
Apos, can you pull it off?
No, it's permanently attached. I was going to rely on the magic of acting.
Can you be as sexy as Tara, I meant. B/c if you are as sexy as Tara, I *will* be jealous of you flirting with other girls.
I somehow fathomed that all that true happiness talk had something to do with Faust.
Can you be as sexy as Tara
[bats eyelids, smiles slowly]
But can you pull off that counterpointy bit with Giles in "Under Your Spell / Standing (Reprise)"?
That must be on The Cheerful Insanity, SB. I only have The Brondesbury Tapes.
The other Giles. Oh yes, I know what you're talking about, Willis.
Since there are three of them in question, make that the other other Giles.
No, there are only two Gileses, Peter (b) and Michael (dr).
Fripp was actually a Giles, but he denies it.
56: I already said I can't pull off my pointy bits.
The counterpointy bits generally complement the pointy bits, apo.
Everybody compliments my pointy bits.
63 is sexist in at least two different ways.
Standpipe Bridgeplate: I'm honored to be in the company of another (presumably) adult who will cop to owning the "Once More With Feeling" soundtrack.
Thought for discussion: would we all think Tara is the sexi(e)st if she weren't Willow's girlfriend?
Hey T(itan)ia -- it occurred to me on the train this morning that if (a) people think you are like Willow and (b) my memory of your hair color is correct (and I think it is), then you must be... (drum roll please) a Willow-y blonde!
Tia, it's possible your real-life persona is pretty different from your online one, since I don't think you come off all that Willow-like. Maybe Season 5-7 Willow.
As someone who's seen about three episodes of Buffy, I'm not sure if this is illuminating, but I'll offer it anyway.
I think people think that my voice and mannerisms are like Alyson Hannigan's, and even if my features aren't just like hers, we have a similar quality. Or something. Also, I can totally hear myself saying "This one time, at band camp..."
#67: We own the soundtrack, and even listen to it *as music* not infrequently. And sing along. Fuck your patriarchal music standards, I say.
Also, yes. Tara would still be the sexiest. Amber Benson is just so gorgeous and womanly...
BPhd, I think I'm under your spell.
