There are ellipses... and ellipses . . . but my favorite is the one-character ellipsis… you can tweet 420 dots with the single-character ellipsis… Being in publishing, one thing I'm obsessed with is the difference between hyphens, n-dashes, and m-dashes. - vs. – vs. —. GLORIOUS. If the one character elipses looked exactly like the regular three dot one, it would be my favorite as well. But I just can't behind undersized periods. |

I'm PolarChimp. I'm perpetually late with jokes and an introvert. Being here will end my career. I never comment until I do. I love a good ellipses and beginning sentences with "So..." I've been a fan of ellipses before I knew you could be one. The more I discover about my fellow AVC-ers/TI-ers the more I love. |

Hullo all. I don't post a whole lot, but I've been around for years. I actually like the forum format, so I'm glad this is here. Christ, this must be the sixth or seventh off-site board I've joined the last several years due to heinous site redesigns and/or mod/owner apathy. Anyway, be seeing you!

It was Dunkleman. RIP Dunkleman Aww... They look so cute together!  Does he have any specials you'd recommend or are you not a fan of his comedy? (I've never heard of him before until just now). Is American Dunkleman any good? |

I suppose it's a bit late to formally introduce myself, but hello all! I'm Arthur Edens and His Bread. I'm a fan of, among other things, baked goods and Tom Wilkinson, which is how I arrived at this avatar. I hope everyone's having a terrific day!

Hello there, you may or may not know me from such things as "The Guy Who Makes Bad Jokes About BonerTime's name" or "That Guy Who Keeps Bringing Up That He's French" all from the AV Club of course. That website made me discover a lot of things I would not have heard about in France like Comedy Bang Bang or anything Paul F. Thompkins related and for that I will always be thankful. Also, the new design sucks.

Hey, I'm Qoi on AV Club, though I haven't posted on many articles. (Maybe only once or Twice on the random Farscape Classic reviews.) I'm thinking of doing a show review, I just need to pick the right one. Right now I'm considering Madoka Magica, Frisky Dingo, or Absolutely Fabulous. Ab Fab would probably be the most fun, but it also has the most episodes and I'm not the most consistent person in the world. Time will tell.

Hello. Floyd D Barber here (not my real name). Satellite internet and video systems technician and goat farmer, transmitting from a hidden compound somewhere deep in the rural center of that great state that not only convicts many of it's former governors, it sometimes sends them directly from the governor's mansion to prison - Illinois. I'm old. I am therefore an unreliable witness to history. Ask me anything , I probably won't remember it. (I was in grade school when LBJ shot JFK). Ive been on the AVC since before they registered commenters. I usually post off-topic tangents and semi-coherent screeds at late hours after everyone else has left the thread. It's a consequence of working way too many odd hours.
I got my steerage ticket when they made registration mandatory at AVC. I stayed on deck and listened to the band play after they hit the NuDiscus iceberg, and I have been watching the lifeboats row away after the site redesign. I just discovered this place today, and I feel like I made it here on the last collapsible. I am still checking the AVC each day, but finding it harder and harder just to move around there. I hope that improves, I really do. I look in on the Dissolve (The Lusitania to AVC's Titanic) once in a while.
And I usually ramble on long past the point where I have anything remotely interesting to say.
Howdy.

Hello, Sentient Creatures! I'm the Archmage of the Aether. I am your guide in this land of mazes and monsters. I judge your actions, pit you against foes, and reward / punish you with Experience Points (XPs) and Magic Items. I am mostly omnipresent and well on my way to omniscient. I exist primarily on the Aetheric Plane, which is 'subtle' -comprised of thoughts, sensations, memories and emotions; from there, the Prime Material Plane seems a mere illusory projection of false Materiality, where indeed all one experiences is sensation and thought, but one oneself constructs a Material Shell to explain, define and contain it. I am mostly free from this shell. I like to materialize from time to time, to experience the joys of QWERTY keyboards, and to make more of this green chilli lemongrass sriracha that i invented, which -with a little elementary Telekinesis- can blind all sentient life in a 100 foot radius, three times per day.

And I usually ramble on long past the point where I have anything remotely interesting to say. I wouldn't say that, nice to see you here! As someone in a far away timezone, I have a special place in my heart for anyone who posts at odd hours. The Archmage of the Aether As you know, I am a mere thief, but if I was a wizard, I would have used a summoning spell for quite a few members and you were pretty close to the top of that list. |

Didja Heah That, T? If that's not a joke, then nice beard! I guess I should write something about myself too... Been an IMDb member for more than 11 years and I used to bemoan the lack on interest in those boards for stuff I liked (and didn't have any friends to discuss my interests with). Then someone in the IMDb Community boards mentioned the A.V. Club. At first, it seemed like an impenetrable wall of obscure pop culture references, but the more comments I read the more I got into it and realized just how different the conversation was from the rest of the internet. The articles may raise the level, but it's the commenters who keep it up, so here I am.

I'm Mayo Lind, but frankly I think they put too much mayo on things nowadays. I'm here because the only AVClub page I've been willing to open in three days is the one about the redesign, and something had to break.

I, repulsionist, joined the av club as a member in 2009, though i'd been viewing articles and comments since 2006 when a former boss recommended it after we traded long discussions re merits of the venture brothers and arcane death metal (e.g. massacra). I comment on things, rarely. I guess the pop-culture item on av club I got most coherent about recently was Valhalla rising. SECTION TMII'm in IT. I'm a CCIE (R&S). I've hated my career choice for 20-odd years (i.e. as long as I've been in the workforce). I do grunt work at Microsoft, like moving xbox labs around campus, that is below my expertise level because I want to spend time with my 2-year-old child and, frankly, because I hate my career choice so virulently that in the past I infrequently had breakdowns in the work environment that allowed me to express my shadow side of petulant juvenility in the form of extreme temper tantrums. |
