Amusing subject line about the perpetual delights of fandom

[elisi]

Link to rahirah's Existential Flame War, with urgent appeal for EVERYONE to go read it, complete with declaration of eternal love for the madness of online life, and pointing out that the comment threads are PURE GOLD.

Apologies (in brackets) for RL being busy and thus not being around much.

Comments

Round of sycophantic applause coupled with smugness about having been there first.

[elisi]

Thank yous for the applause, coupled with grumbles about stupidly busy life.

Anguish for being late to the party, and not having a life.

[elisi]

Reassurances that late-comers are ALWAYS welcome, and offer of life-swap.

[lyricwrites.livejournal.com]

Jaw drop, and astonished assertion of being present at the original existential flamewar, back in college.

Belated realization that this makes one approximately 5682 in internet years

Shrug, and pointed directive for young humans and/or goats to evacuate carefully tended grass area forthwith.

Series of obscure emoticons intended to indicate hilarity and gratitude (and inability of poster to spell OR punctuate)!

[elisi]

Much appreciation and typos.
