Dude, "barbarous compound" is from the 1913 Webster's ;^)

heh. I know it's old, but it's also not clear what it means. I know I'm older than you, but believe it or not I wasn't around for the 1913 edition.

"the whole Scully/Starling fanfic femmeslash whatever idea" <-- this is completely along the lines of something I might say. Or maybe not, but the structure, anyway. Oh, who am I kidding. Content, too.

BTW, Gibson's blog is at [livejournal.com profile] gibsonfeed.

If it ain't brokered, don't fixture it.

I am sure Joe would be pleased to know that he is getting so much " air " time for his use of fixture.

oh my god, I have a deeply intense love of "narcasstic". That's fabulous.
