OMG! *falls down laughing* I didn't know there really might *be* t00b merchandise.
Incidentally, every time one of the campers/canoers on this trip mentioned going tubing/[inner]tubes on the river, it took me a minute to realise he didn't mean t00b. Who came up with this, anyway?
The topic of that thread is quite...nerdy? Creepy? Nerdy? Creepy? Can't decide. (But I'm probably only dissing it because I'm not kewl enough to know either of them.)
I don't know either of them personally either, but I know OF them at least. How can you NOT know who they are if you go to FictionAlley.org? How can you not know OF them if you've spent more than 10 minutes in HP fandom? Yeesh.
Just "stunned" I say, just "stunned".
Okay, I'm not being terribly kind, and not everyone can be expected to know who Rysenn and Cassie are, but at least, even if you don't know of them, don't post a poll on it to see how many others do or don't on a fanfiction archive where they appear all over the place in it. That's really what makes this person especially "stunned".
"Neepy" - the perfect descriptor for geeky stalkers. I like it!
>>>Anyway, you do too know me.<<<
You have a point - I bet the neepy poster would be very, very jealous of our handful of exchanges. *pokes neepy poster with "I know Cassie" flag* Hah! Take that!
Wow, an invitation to drop names by Clueless Joe. Soooo impressed. *scowl* At least I'm in on the ground floor of "neepy."
I'm surprised no one's bothered by the link to Cassie's journal. In the X-Files fandom, a bunch of well-known authors had a hissy fit when their journals were posted to a popular board. Many of them went back and locked up all their posts, which they should have been doing in the first place if they didn't want just anyone to read them. Then again, Cassie actually talks HP in her journal, so maybe it's no big deal. I hope not anyway. :)

Beyond t00b.
It means they are so dumb, they are beyond saving. They are beyond t00b. They are "stunned".
I can't explain it any better than that.

Anyway, you do too know me. *waves "I know Mahoney" flag.*
