'Him'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, pandas, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
I don't remember the creation of TV Tropes involving any other buffista, certainly not two more who had known Gus for decades, and who were there since Salon. The whole story is false, I'm saying.
Heh. Yeah. It was just "Gus" although I know that Sean and I were also admins there when it started up.
So, of course I looked. TVTropes is registered to a "Gu [sic] Straley" of Rice Lake WI (which is right next to Cameron).
I think they should have an all-female-crewed nuclear submarine. That would be awesome.
ION, I think meteorologists may be a little bit burnt out from this winter:
The same storm that brought a gentle snowfall across Texas on Tuesday will reach the Northeast in the form of an atmospheric monster with damaging winds, blinding snow, torrential rain, huge waves and flooding.
In the hardest-hit areas, it will seem more like a "snowacane," as a mere blizzard may not adequately describe conditions of this soon-to-be powerful nor'easter.
WE'RE ALL GOING TO DIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!

Ooh.
Oh, I just realized why Boston hasn't gotten any of this snomageddon -- it's because I bought cheap snow boots instead of the expensive more galosh-like ones I was look at that one time!
Note that in his bio, Fast Eddie refers to himself as an "IAT" - Irish American Traveller. Like our Somali-Traveller Gus. [link]
I love the modern online world. I got my car inspected this morning, and I just finished registering it online. I'll print out the temp tag and wait for the decals to be sent to me. How wonderfully 21st Century.
Note that in his bio, Fast Eddie...
Yeah, that sounds like Gus.
My cat just woke herself by drooling on me. I live a glamorous life.
Am I wrong in wanting more drama from a former member of this community going on a major sci-fi portal and pretending to have invented it?
That was my first impulse too. But do we really want to end up on Fandom Wank?
And "Fast Eddie" does use "we" in one of the quotes when they talk about Buffistas moving away from Salon.
OMG, and I just read that article, and am having to restrain myself from going "SOMEONE IS WRONG ON THE INTERNET" and "BLOGGING IS NOT REAL JOURNALISM OR YOU WOULD'VE CHECKED YOUR SOURCES". Ahem.
That was Exactly my reaction, but no, we do not want to end up on Fandom Wank. Maybe someone should claim being a long ago no longer active Buffista and claim TVTropes is really linked to she who shall not be named.
