We could always build some sort of giant silencer to fit onto the end of the canon....okay that's a weird image and you should all just forget it

Okay everyone we have almost made it thru another week. What can we do for another 31 hours until the next Buffy?
If you are bored with trival pursuit we can go back to designing a Buffy monoply game. After all if there is a Scooby-doo version we can have one also.

Yeah, monopoly did seem to fade away... guess the railgun power problem was taking too many of the little grey cells.
BTW the answer to the "how long was Buffy in the demon dimension (in realt time)" question was, by my reckoning, 0.29 seconds... give or take a hundredth. (Kinda gives an interesting perspective on how long Angel was in hell (as he subjectively saw it) during the months he was away - assuming time was the same there.)

I am afraid I caught another piece of spoiler shrapnel today,but again it was something that had been widely reported during the speculation period so no big deal. I'll live.

I think I have some possible solutions to the power problem.

I don't really like the idea of using rats unless the rats actually express a desire to volunteer, I'm not really into involuntary servitude - even for rats. (Although there's one or two people I might consider making exceptions for.)

I think that to find a solution we need to go to the enemy. We could either put up a windmill and utilise the hot air that seems to perpetually rise from the spoiler thread or we could sneak out and plug into the spoiler ho's power supply. (TV's, VCR's, and computers don't run on TLC and cookies you know.) The first option seems less dangerous and is environmentally friendly, but I'll go with the will of the majority.

How many witches does it take to light an extra flamey candle?
Only one, but she has to keep doing it because the other witch keeps blowing it out!

Ok, the joke was bad, but the trenches are getting a little serious and I don't want Katharyn to start chasing me with fluffy pink earmuffs (the stuff of nightmare!) because she's bored. Any funny jokes out there?

Hocine tibi habeas iocum?
(Is this your idea of a joke?)

[Hugin]

You could power the thing using the steam rising from our hot hot spoilers...sizzle...

Volunteering rats? OK these would be the same rats that could fill out a application form and swear to us that they will also remain spoiler free and won't start running backwards for the benefit of the ho's. I think I say some of them trot past my window a few minutes ago with their suitcases on their way to the US to get a Buffyfix.

Does enforced spoiler free still count? If so then I have been spoiler free since I landed in this little country I like to call hell...sorry I mean England

I plan to be a ho when I return to the US. God bless America the land of my better internet connection.

Well my ship isn't sinking - are we a navy now? A sea-going trench? Why didn't someone tell me I'd have brought coights.

I'm back, mostly.

Why is the trench rocking back and forth? Back ... Forth ... (nauseating isn't it.)

Now I know what the problem is. I don't have the dreaded lurgi at all, I'm seasick! It's a typical case of those in peril on the sea! How did we manage to float a trench? Did someone dig us up and put us on a barge when I was napping? Or did the hot air rising from the spoiler hos finally manage to precipitate a storm which caused flash flooding? I don't understand, but that's alright. Confusion is good for the soul.

The rail gun will probably work just as well at sea but I suggest that we take a few test shots with the trebuchet to get the hang of firing from a platform that goes up and down. ... and up ... and down. (Ooookay, not going to think of that anymore!)

Any chance of steering this boat back to shore? Not that I don't like a life on the ocean waves. It's just that I've eaten my first real meal in two days and I'd like to keep it just where I put it.

just curious, are all of the moderators spoiler free? seems like none of them could be.

Oh lord, I'm a gigantic spoiler ho. Heck, considering I'm the main source of spoilers for all my local Buffy friends, I'm a spoiler pimp.

[tommo]

Yes, we've often commented on Len's propensity for leopard skin suits and flashy jewellery. Not too loudly of course, seeing as we're his ho's...

Okay I'm offline for a few days and we're suddenly floating....this is a little disorientating to say the least. I guess I should change my rank from private to seaman or something.
*I christen this trench HMS spoilerfree, may God bless all who sail in her (or something to that effect), smash (thats the champange bottle by the way, empty of course, cant go wasting those supplies now, *hiccup*)*

I've been living a strange spoiler-existence this year. I'm allowing myself to see everything except the wild feed. So far it's working pretty well, although I have a feeling that's going to be put to the test over the next few weeks.

It's also a bummer that the location shoot schedule isn't available online any more.

HMS Spoilerfree? HMS rather than USS as the British Navy allows alcohol on board? Oh well I can live with a drunken crew. I think we need a suitable flag though.

I must admit that after weeks of not even being bothered by missing spoilers and the episodes discussions that they are starting to get to me. They just look so damn tasty and inviting but I am still resisting, even to the extent of avoiding S6 fics on Pens.

I'm off to lock myself in the Brig. Let me out when I can watch S6. And oh yeah, any ho who tries to whisper to me through the door - shoot 'em out the trebuchet.

Now that I've got used to it the ship isn't so bad. (Does it always storm like this at sea?)

With Katharyn in the brig and the crew off their faces on the champagne ration (rum is sooo passe), I guess it's up to me to climb the rigging, hoist the t'gallants and set sail for parts unknown.

I could get into this nautical theme. [Puts on a large black hat with big plumes and digs out a 'pirate' accent.] Ooo arrr, maties! Lets hoist up the stunsails and away. Heave Ho! [All said in the kind of accent that is vaguely reminiscent of a Geordie Cornishman from East Acton] Various naughty sea-shanties have leapt into my mind, so I might have a bit of a sing as I steer the ship into the sunset.

[Blow the man down, maties, Blow the man down ......]

More uses for the flung panties, flags, pennants and sails.
Sails are also known as sheets. Once you have drunk enough champs you become 3 sheets to the wind or under full sail.

Oi!!! You poop on this poop deck, you clean it up! If you have to go then use the head. (I know it sounds silly but it's nautical. You go in the head. You cook in the galley, you eat in the mess ... makes absolutely no sense at all.)

I'm just todding down to the brig to roust our Katharyn. We're out of sight of land and there is clear sailing from one horizon to the other - not a ho in sight. It's six bells and about time she stood her turn at watch. As for me, I'm going up to the crow's nest to do a little contemplating of the whichness of the why.

Well that might keep us secure but what about our action plans? Are we going to turn about and steam into the ho harbour for our offensives, swim in or run away?? I lugged this bloomin great trebuchet up the gangplank and nearly spliced my mainbrace - we HAVE to use it.

And Kerry you starting on sea cucumbers now?

Oh ye landlubbers!!
Where is the ceiling? It is OVERHEAD.
If you get hit and fall to the floor you are DECKed.
The GALLEY is where people SLAVE over a hot stove.
The MESS is what comes out of the galley and one attempts to consume it.
Before plumbing there was this deck that hung out over the water in the AFTer part of the ship. This was the poop deck (don't ask for an illustration).

Anything to keep the crew happy.

[Sails ship near the spoiler shore]

Load up the trebuchet!
Take aim!
Shoot! (I know, the Yanks say 'fire' but I prefer the Pommy 'shoot' - less confusion once the incoming shells come lobbing in.)

Hmmm. Sea Cucumber. Nope - texture's all wrong and it's too soft. Try using freeze - dried cod. It is portable, rock hard, and makes for good catapult ammunition.

Standfast crew! Ignore the ho-ish minions of the spoiler hell. I WILL KNOW. I will look into your eyes and know that you have been there. Bad enough that they stick new pics at the foot of the thread. Resist, resist!(OK sounding rabid now back to the brig for me.)
