Oz ,'Beneath You'
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.

But if well combined (which I think this one is, aside from my aforestated interrobang issues (how about ??!?!!?! ?)), wouldn't that rate as cleverer?
Clearly the judgement about what constitutes clever is subjective. In my book, longer and overly complexicated (not a word, but should be) is almost always less clever.

Also slap dash jumbles strike me as less clever, most of the time. I don't like combos to work two popular suggestions into one please-em-all title, either.
I like the unlikely pairing of referants along a funny hinge. But I prefer the layering of allusions, and I also like the sillier image of Jack demanding "Who are you baking for?!?" I don't know which of the earlier shorter would be deemed wittier, but none were even remotely as amusing.
How much of the data do you have?
Not enough, so go back to what you were doing, young lady. Only 5 weeks of logs.
(I can start keeping more, if you want)

Even though one of them was mine (you bastard!) I have to agree.
My issue is that people choose titles other than the one I'd have chosen, whether it be long, short, portmanteau or a Beatles ref.
It should stop.
Oh please, ita, like you have any pull here. You're female, and don't know spoilers. (cf. Minearverse.)
Remember how we were talking about how things become transparent in BBaBB? This is one of those things for me. After the first day or so, I couldn't tell you what the Natter thread title is.

So...democracy's a good idea in theory.

I guess this is for the best. I really can't let myeslf start playing with yet more numbers.
Um, how hard is it to save them? As numbers in a simple text file, that is? How big are such files? I shouldn't be asking these kinds of questions, shouldn't I?
what? ita gets all the men AND all the thread titles. is their no end to her madness? am I going to have to start an official keep ita in her place campaign?
