more fannish frivolity

This is the message as the crawl holds it, before anything here touched it. What the conversation shows has been through ingest: transfer encodings decoded, attachments dropped, quote markers repaired, and the archiver’s ? resolved into quotation marks and dashes. Those repairs are judgements and some of them are wrong, which is what this page is for. Email addresses are obscured here as they are everywhere else on the site, so it is before our repairs rather than byte for byte.

While we're at this rather "fannish" practice of finding parallels
between comic strip characters and the cast of BotNS, I'm reminded of
the fact that at the last SF convention I attended (Arisia in Boston
last winter) a fellow (whose name I never caught, one of those people
one sees at these sorts of things without necessarily registering
names) in the con hospitality suite held forth on the idea that the
movie "Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure" with its "differently
clued" protaganists and haphazard time tripping could be seen as
essentially the same story as BotNS.  There were several amusing
specifics, but I can't remember them.  I suppose the movie is really
more "By His Bootstraps" but so is BotNS at one level, eh?
