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?

horizontal rule

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.

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 the line you meant to evoke, ye norbizness, and despair!

That was entirely too snitty. Sorry.

I feel like Wolfson, only after the gypsies cursed him with a soul.

Unfogged is welcoming to newcomers.

Wolfson, 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, Wolfson 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.

horizontal rule

Oh, you feel the way Wolfson would feel if gypsies cursed him with a soul, but that hasn't actually happened?

horizontal rule

21 written before I read 20, clarity achieved.

Can I be Faith?

horizontal rule
24

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.

horizontal rule
25

Actually, I think 17 and 21 are both right and wrong in equal measure. My strained metaphor is polysemous.

horizontal rule
26

I read it as SB=Angel, Wolfson=Angelus. In which case, I hope that you in your wisdom, SB, can help me contain the monster within.

horizontal rule
27

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.

horizontal rule
28

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!

horizontal rule
29

Also, reenactment is teh hott.

horizontal rule
30

Weiner, I assumed that you, of all people, would have been a Buffy fan.

horizontal rule
31

It may be that I would have been a Buffy fan, if I had a TV. Maybe someday I will watch the DVDs.

horizontal rule
32

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?

horizontal rule
33

It does, but it is largely dedicated to goofing around on the internet when I should be grading.

horizontal rule
34

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.

horizontal rule
35

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.

horizontal rule
36

text, you silly billy. Those children were eaten.

horizontal rule
37

it's cowher who eats them with his big nutcracking mandibles.

horizontal rule
38

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.

horizontal rule
39

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.

horizontal rule
40

when the bells ring with "for thy sake, o my father" it means you have performed correctly.

horizontal rule
41

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.

horizontal rule
42

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.

43

Most of us guys are pretty much just Xander.

"Some of us", he said, taking off his glasses and wiping them, "are not."

horizontal rule
44

And then how would you comment?

With my shiv.

horizontal rule

Jerome Bettis has a shiv that he uses to cut the hearts out of true and noble unicorns.

46

Good, no one's claimed Cordelia yet. Dibs!

horizontal rule

I know that I am Willow

Can I be Tara?

horizontal rule
48

Tara is the sexist. Apos, can you pull it off?

horizontal rule
49

SEXIST. Gawd! What is wrong with me?!?!?

horizontal rule
50

I watched Spinal Tap last night. That is my excuse.

horizontal rule
51

Apos, can you pull it off?

No, it's permanently attached. I was going to rely on the magic of acting.

horizontal rule
52

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.

horizontal rule
53

I somehow fathomed that all that true happiness talk had something to do with Faust.

horizontal rule
54

did wolfson offer somebody a bargain?

horizontal rule
55

Can you be as sexy as Tara

[bats eyelids, smiles slowly]

horizontal rule
56

But can you pull off that counterpointy bit with Giles in "Under Your Spell / Standing (Reprise)"?

horizontal rule
57

That must be on The Cheerful Insanity, SB. I only have The Brondesbury Tapes.

horizontal rule
58

The other Giles. Oh yes, I know what you're talking about, Willis.

horizontal rule
59

Since there are three of them in question, make that the other other Giles.

horizontal rule
60

No, there are only two Gileses, Peter (b) and Michael (dr).

horizontal rule
61

Fripp was actually a Giles, but he denies it.

horizontal rule
62

56: I already said I can't pull off my pointy bits.

horizontal rule
63

The counterpointy bits generally complement the pointy bits, apo.

horizontal rule
64

Everybody compliments my pointy bits.

horizontal rule
65

63 is sexist in at least two different ways.

horizontal rule
66

No, Tara is the sexist.

horizontal rule
67

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?

horizontal rule
68

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!

horizontal rule
69

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..."

horizontal rule

#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.

She turned me into a newt.
