"Y'All Jus' Jellus!" The Scary World of Fandom

[pepper67]

ETA: Should I be at all worried by the ease with which I can imitate an annoying fanboy?

Yes. You're obviously Draco in disguise!!!11!1!

Draco Malfoy is not real. He is not going to invite you over to a fancy "no elbows on the table dinner" and then give you your first tongue-kiss in the courtyard of his parent's gothic castle because of your eloquent prose defending his (fictional) way of life.

That was awesome.

Topic? Wow, and I thought I was pathetic when it came to Harry Potter. Wow.

I wasn't! I guess I should have put a " ;D " in my last post. Still, I thought Mercedes Lackey fans that had online conversations with their "Companions" were weird... That defense of pureblood elitism was something else! I guess the magic keeps them from having even worse genetic problems than the Amish?

Still, compared to Michael Jackson fans, they're almost articulate.

Hee! I was thinking it was my fault for not using enough exclamation marks! No harm.

Yeah, considering how 'in-bred' and inter-related all the purebloods are, you'd think there'd be problems cropping up all over the place. Then again, maybe that explains the Malfoys' white, white hair.

And anyone's articulate compared to the Michael Jackson fans! ;D

Rule of thumb: the devotion of the fan is directly proportional to the number of exclamation points!

I don't know who is crazier here, the crazy lady who thinks David Letterman is communicating with her through code words, gestures and "eye expressions", or the judge who granted the temporary restraining order she filed against Letterman.

[pepper67]

I'd say the judge has a screw loose too. And how exactly will they know if Letterman is sending her loving thoughts?

If I were the judge, I would have suggested that she stop watching Letterman on TV.

This is the third nutjob he's had to deal with in the past 10 or so years. Who would've thought that Letterman of all people could inspire such craziness.
