The Fancy Bastard Forum

The book club will be called "But Don't Take My Word For It!" complete with *dunna DUN!*

JustChristine has struck a nerve. The most prominent library in the geek world is smack dab on top of the hellmouth. Lets play with that.

My votes are Giles/Library/Hellmouth reference, TNG reference, or Reading Rainbow reference.

Of course we also all know books are full of terrible, evil secrets of Elder Gods or Ancient Vampires or other stuff like that... Some reference to such could also be amusing. I can't help but picture in my mind a whole pile of geeks sifting through the libraries at Miskatonic University to choose reading materials for the month... Some thinking "gee book club sounds fun!" Others, with more sinister intent, "These fools will help me unlock the hidden incantations to summon . Mwahahahaha *cough*"

My brain keeps wanting to make an Enders Game reference, but I can't think of anything that fits. Maybe it's all for the better seeings that Card is a bigoted asshole.

What's the quote from Joel's guest comic at Unshelved? "Book Engage!"

Posted By: Bill@JustChristine I think you just 'sploded my brainplace.

You're... welcome? I think?@ijustwatched: "I Just Watched...", the 2009 Movie Watching Project. Help me watch 500+ unique titles!

ok, on levels of self-reference and overall geekery, these seem to be good contenders:

Advanced Bastards
Reading Rainbow Coalition
Anachronistic Intarwebz
Bookery for Beginners
Hellmouth Booksplosion

anyone want to nominate anything else? we should probably start voting on these to get this baby rolling.

Reading Rainbow Coalition makes me chuckle, I think I like it the best.

Bad news. The poll extension for Vanilla doesnt work. seems like you have all picked "The Reading Rainbow Coalition" and I think thats pretty dope. Going to have to find an alternate way to vote on stuff.

Im creating the new forum area now.
