Shouldn't this list include actuaries?
Don't forget librarians!
I like both Teppy's and Allyson's dedications.
Ben: I didn't ask for any of this. I just want to be normal. Gronx: I wanted to be an underwear model. We play the hand we're dealt.
'Touched'
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.

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.

Bag the crypto. Say what is on your mind.

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?

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!

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
The odd thing is that I was just in the middle of a watch and post, and we started debating serial commas and quotation marks. I was this close to saying something about "conversation #67" when I remembered I was over at the Dodgers blog I post on, not here.
