Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

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.

And yet? No Consensus leads the race.

(that's in response to Hec, who is refusing to be won over to my side. Sheesh.)

27 just seems like such a juicy number, ripe with possibilities.

I'm with Hec. And I'd like to see some play on the 3 x 3 x 3 or 3 cubed ideas.

Ann, that's a ferret.

27 just seems like such a juicy number, ripe with possibilities.

It's 3 cubed, which we used at WX (which doesn't stop us from using here, just seems -- redundant).

But I can't think of anything else. Hec, what did you have in mind?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

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

The best "27" reference we could come up with is just a reference to a previously used thread title.

Plus, "No consensus" is a gentle reminder that sometimes we fail.

Nooooooo! Don't encourage him!

We've already proposed a zillion titles. Do we need a zillion-and-oneth?

eta: Natter 26 will be ending soon. "No consensus" is the best consensus we have, and there's no time for new titles.

IMHO.

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

Three threes a threeing!

What is even happening?

Titles that got at least some support:

(next most) Natter 27: We already did a three cubed thing, didn't we?

Natter 27: Dead Rock Stars

Natter 27: We don't need a title.

(next next most) Natter 27: Three Threes A-... Threes... ing.

Natter 27!

Natter 27: And don't think I won't turn this car around.

So Natter 27: Stanley Bearsbreath McKneegrasper

(most) Natter 27: No consensus

From eyeballing (not counting) it looks like the "No consensus" proposal has gotten more support. It is not the best, but it's going to win--sorta like W, except what with the actual winning and all. And that's okay. We're good enough. We're smart enough. And gosh darn it, we Natter.

Natter 27: No consensus

I think it's ok, but it's too long. Can we make it "Natter 27: Nonsensus" instead?

Threes Threes a Threeing is OK by me too.
