A thread to discuss naming threads, board policy, new thread suggestions, and anything else that has to do with board administration and maintenance. Guaranteed to include lively debate and polls. Natter discouraged, but not deleted.

We could just decide in-thread - give it a TBD title, and then figure out actual title, slug, blurb in the thread. I think that's what we (finally) did with the book club. Worked out fine.
Okay, I couldn't remember where we did that. That's cool, and probably a better idea, since this place is going to explode with Natter titles soon.
Okay. But "It Could Be A Dinosaur" is fabulous.
Would "I've got a theory, that it's a dinosaur" be too long?
Well, it could be "dino" instead...
"I've got a theory, it could be dino"? Now I have collective noun issues.
(And am twitchy and therefore being a bit of a snarky bitch.)
"Dinos," then. I'll take on your extra twitchy if I can get some functioning brain cells along with it...
Doesn't fit into the original lyric.
Doesn't scan what?
If that's a serious question, she's referring to the meter.
"I've got a theory, it could be dinosaur" does not have the same meter as "I've got a theory, it could be bunnies," due to "dinosaur" being a three-syllable word. And as much as I love the idea, I don't sanction the use of "dino," cause half the fun of the dinosaur spec is getting to say the word "dinosaur." Mmm, dinosaur. Dinosaur dinosaur!
