Buffy. When I saw you stop the world from, you know, ending, I just assumed that was a big week for you. Turns out I suddenly find myself needing to know the plural of 'apocalypse.'

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.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

I will fix all your wrongheaded posts. And all the posts where you disagree with me. Filter? I don't need no steenkin' filter!

No, just kidding. I rarely edit tags, but if it turns up necessary I don't have any problem doing it. I do try to leave a note though, just 'cause.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Ooooh. Can you make me funny? I wanna be funny.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Can you make me funny?

HA!!

Oh. You didn't mean like that, did you.

All is well that ends in pizza.

there's this whole freaky phenomenon where tons of people act as if google or yahoo or whatever *is* the internet, and type in whatever they want there whether they know the URL or not.

The. Bane. Of. Phone. Support.

I can't begin to tell you how many times I've had to talk people through the address to a site with a solution and have to explain to them what an address bar is.

Similar areas of clueless:
1. AOL users using AOL search.
2. people clicking "search" in Netscape/etc. rather then simply hitting Enter.

One workaround I ended up doing if the caller seemed too clueless early on? Tell them to click "start...run" and enter in the address and click "ok"

We're getting close to needing a Natter 24.

I want to make some sort of 24 suggestion (preferably one that evokes wibble-inducing-when-whispering Jack Bauer), but I don't know if we have all that many 24 watchers here, these days. I know Jessica and Sean watch.

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda

I'm a 24 watcher. How about "Natter 24: Die, Kim, Die"? Another approach would be: "Natter 24:Seven."

I suppose Natter 24: Whisper, Jack! Whisper! only works for me. But does it. Ever.

I predict Die, Kim, Die will be immensely popular.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

I don't get it.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I like Natter 24:Seven. Or perhaps Natter 24: WHO ARE YOU WORKING FOR!!!?!?! (but that's a bit S1) Or Natter 24: The longest conversation of your life.

Or something.
