Well hello there gang. Hope you are ready for a good day. Obviously, we are still working on our shit over here so we will just have to keep ourselves entertained until we are fully functional. A special thanks to everyone who has donated over the last few days; it really helps.

Well hello there Crasstalk. Thanks for sticking with us today as we continue to sort out the technical aspects of the site overhaul. We are working as fast as we can to get things up and running, and we promise that once we are finished things will be better than ever.

Hello Crasstalkers. Hope the middle of the week is working for you. Let’s get it going shall we. I feel like a little AC/DC might be a good place to start.

Well hello there gang. Hope you are having a wonderful day. As you can see we are still working on the upgrades, but we are hoping to start rolling everything out over the next couple of days.

Good Morning Crasstalk! How are we all doing today? As you can see, we are still working things out over here, but we are making progress. Thanks again to everyone for bearing with us during our transformation. Here’s some stuff to get you going.

Well hello gang. Thanks for sticking with us today. I am going to repost this from The Beloved Leader’s message last night:
Dear Crasstalk Nation,
As Crasstalk has grown in popularity and the level of engagement you guys have with the site has grown, so have our costs associated with running this place. Currently we’re making a series of huge improvements that will make the site better than ever.
You can help us out. If you love Crasstalk as much as we do, please consider making a donation to our site fund. Our Paypal address is [email protected]. We’re not asking for much, and any amount of money helps!
In the meantime, Bens, Dogs, GrandInquisitor and I are working hard on a series of major improvements to the site.
OK, now here’s some fun stuff to watch to get your evening started.
Happy Easter Crasstalk. Hope you are having a relaxing day and that if you are so inclined you have had a visit from a candy-bearing rodent today.
Um, don’t show this one to the kids.
Have a great day.

Some of you are aware that I’ve become slightly obsessed* with Doctor Who in the last month and a half or so (thanks MP! Mwah!).
Well, guess what? THE SEASON 6 PREMIERE OF DOCTOR WHO IS TONIGHT! BBC America is running an all-day marathon of season 5 (which I believe started 3 hours ago), Matt Smith’s first as the Doctor. If you’re a fan, tune in for a referesher. If you’re not and you’re willing to admit you’re a nerd, give it a go. Though it’s probably more satisfying to start from the first season of the rebooted series, the fifth season was written to bring in new viewers so you shouldn’t have too hard a time picking things up. In much sadder news, actress Elisabeth Sladen–who played the Third and Fourth Doctor’s companion Sarah Jane Smith in the ’70s–died of cancer on Tuesday. She last appeared on the show in 2008, reprising her role as Sarah Jane with David Tennant’s Doctor. She will be missed.

Hey y’all. I wish I could be more cheery and N’SYNCy, but I’ve got a sore throat for the ages. Looks like my sartorial exploration into matching outfits and vinyl has been in vain–it’s nothing but sweatpants and hot tea for me this weekend. Continue reading
OMG it’s almost the weekend! What am I going to wear?!!
Well, when I found out about Dancing Queen’s Flashback Friday topic, I can assure you that I squealed with joy at the thought of posting N’SYNC videos. In this thread, though, we can figure out what fabulous ensembles we’ll be donning this weekend by determining what not to wear, specifically, by studying everything that every boy band and their love muses wear and avoiding all of those things like the plague. The first important lesson is to not wear matching outfits with your friends, otherwise people will suspect that you might break out in an impromptu “I Want You Back.”
And we don’t want that, now do we? What sartorial lessons have you learned from boy bands? I could use some help because I’m starting to think that multi-colored vinyl outfits are acceptable again. Talk me down from the cliff, Crasstalkers!
