I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

I consense for No Consensus

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

I'm for DXM picking.

There was a kind of consensus about the one like "Didn't we already do the three squared one before?" (however that was phrased)

I remember four or five people liking that, which is pretty nearly a landslide in thread title selection. Seems a shame to waste a good number like 27 on "No Consensus." Soon we're going to get to numbers which have no cultural associations whatsoever. Or...one association like 57 and Heinz.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Natter 27: An Unholy Alliance of Actuaries and Australians

I just changed my tag. Now I have to go change it again?

Signed, the Unholy Alliance

Soon we're going to get to numbers which have no cultural associations whatsoever.

I'm looking forward to this. The numerical references are getting old, and kind of forced.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Come on, David, the people LOVE No consensus. Live it, love it.

What is even happening?

Jesse, what's your platform?

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

Tiny Buffista flags for everyone!

No Consensus is the consensus not a waste!

plants flag firmly in Jesse's corner, the corner of No Consensus

27 just seems like such a juicy number, ripe with possibilities. "No Consensus" displays a failure of imagination. (and consensus. Except for the people who have consensed upon "No Consensus" which is a kind of self-negating loop.)

Ah, but you're missing the inherent Buffista beauty of No consensus. With No consensus, you can remain secure in your knowledge that your chosen title was the One True Natter 27 Title, and everyone else is just crackpots.
