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.

I just want to clarify that I didn't mean to say that Deb was being offensive or the phrase "hijacked elections" is any more offensive than "Bush is a moron" or "Kerry is a traitor". Personally, I thought the suggestion was funny. I'm just remembering from not too long ago that there are more than two buffistas who actually, consciously and deliberately voted for the current administration, and putting a statement of opinion in a thread title that inherently criticizes that choice may be the wrong way to go.
I'm good with "wasn't expecting that" too.
I don't have any major objection to "wasn't expecting that," but is it a reference or something? Because it seems a little bland to me.
I liked "Auld Fang Syne."
Actually, Wolfram, it referred to the investigation into massive voter fraud in four states, including Oklahoma, where the machines started counting backward after they hit a certain point. Either side can hijack an election. On my mind because I've been involved in the correspondence back and forth with the GAO.
But really, not worth the aggro of arguing over it.
edit: Frank, Tom and I have started househunting in Salem!
Woohoo! Yes, get in before the prices here get beyond the reach of sanity. I'm about to start apartment hunting, and part of me thinks I'll end up staying out here just to keep prices down a little.

Fair enough, Deb. Fair enough.
2004: Well, I wasn't expecting that.
Seems to have the largest support, so far, with "Oy, Humuag" only a little behind.

Excellent, those are my two favorites. It wasn't a bad year for me at all
[knocks wood]
what with the getting married, honeymoon in New Orleans, book being published, being on the radio and going to Chicago to name just the obvious highlights.
-coughs discreetly-
And meeting JohnSweden, of course! And the DC F2F. See? Good year.
I think we all like whiskers on kittens. What's not to like?
Gah! What are you, a freak?!
Whiskers? On kittens?!
Why don't you just say you enjoy schnitzel with noodles, you damn Communist!
