Did someone just call you a Basketcase? It means you are a commenter or regular here at Basket of Kisses. And what’s a “basket of kisses,” anyway? If you’ve seen Season 1, Episode 6, Babylon, you already know. This creative turn of phrase is what first got Peggy attention as a writer.

Oh and here’s a thing. We made a move from one URL to this one (LippSisters). When we did that, we lost a handful of comments; just a day’s worth. However, if you are sifting through our older posts, you will notice that many of them say So here’s the thing; don’t necessarily believe it. Click on the and you may just find an entire discussion.

Oh! And speaking of comments…

COMMENT POLICY
America is a democracy with freedom of speech. Basket of Kisses is a despotic monarchy.

We encourage strong opinions, lively debate, and colorful metaphors. However, if you are insulting, demeaning, or behave in any way like a troll, we reserve the absolute right to make you disappear.

Name-calling, or racial, sexual, or any other slurs are not tolerated. Not even a little bit. Just don’t go there. Insults about people’s appearances, or about children, are right out.

If you post spoilers in comments, they will be deleted (see Spoiler Policy).

SPOILER POLICY
We discuss anything that has happened on any episode that has already aired. We recognize that people are still catching up on season 1, and we encourage you to go away and come back when you’ve caught up if you don’t want to know what happens before you see it.

We do not publish spoilers of shows that have not aired, e.g. script excerpts or leaks. We do publish “scoops,” which we define as information that will be available to the public but that we’ve gotten first, or information being released to the public through us. We also publish speculation that may get spoilery, e.g. contemplating who a character might be based on press releases about casting, or poring over the minute details of photos that were acquired legitmately. Scoop but not spoil, that’s us!

We do not spoil other shows. This is “safe space” for discussing shows other than Mad Men. Let the House fanboards spoil House.
