Bureaucracy 3: Oh, so now you want to be part of the SOLUTION?  

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.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Unrelatedly, I just noticed this in the FF thread header:

Discussion of the Mutant Enemy series, Firefly, and the ensuing movie Serenity. Like the other show threads, anything broadcast in the US is fine; spoilers are verboten and will be deleted if found.

Firefly ought to be italicized as well.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love

Shouldn't this list include actuaries?

Don't forget librarians!

I like both Teppy's and Allyson's dedications.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

If we're describing a big portion of us, we're missing programmers (or whatever the term should be). There's got to be like 30 computer experts on the board, at least. But too many descriptions, like warnings on pill bottles, gets unwieldy.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

ALso, from the secretaries day discussion, it seems a lot of us are "administrative professionals", too! Although this is getting very unweildy

Our wings are not tired

I like it just the way Allyson wrote it.

Of course we're not going to list all the possible things that we are. It gives a taste of the fact that we are varied.

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

I think that movies should be italicised and TV shows can stand upright on their own. Sure, I lost the battle (waged perhaps only in my own head) on the front page, but still.

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

Style manuals disagree.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Look at you with the rational!

(though it might be worth throwing in erinaceous' job too -- so freakin cool if I could remember the name)
