To commemorate a past event, you kill and eat an animal. It's a ritual sacrifice, with pie.

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 is even happening?

(This is how we came to call a thread Four and 20 Natters: WHO ARE YOU BAKING FOR???)

Best thread name ever, except for the WXing Natter 17: Looking at linoleum makes us want to Natter and Buffista Music 1: The Music (And Who Can Blame It) Swells, and Literary Buffistas: Don't Speak Latin in Front of the Books, and all the other ones, too.

I like Don't Speak Latin best, though I admire the minds that went into developing the really mathy one for Nilly.

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

Ha. I was going to bring this up, but it felt self-important. I am still proud of it, especially cause I didn't think anyone would like it.

Our wings are not tired.

I'm rather fond of the name of this thread.

That's funny, Laura -- I've always hated it. People already really dislike bureau, and I think the name encourages that and discourages involvement.

Maybe we should call Bureau 4 "Chocolate, Fluffy Puppies and Warm Raindrops."

Well, except for the vulgarity factor, it really SHOULD be "How many bulls does it take to shit a consensus." Though you may not agree if the current title seems to off-putting.

You're right -- I really don't agree.

No other candidate is asking the hard questions, like "Did geophysicists assassinate Jim Henson?" or "Why is there hydrogen in America's water supply?" --defective yeti

Is "WHO ARE YOU BAKING FOR?" supposed to be the nursery rhyme crossed with "CAN YOU SMELL WHAT THE ROCK IS COOKING?"

I liked "The Two Towers: Dude, Where's My Precious?"

If I remember correctly, it's a riff on 24 and Jack Bauer's "WHO ARE YOU WORKING FOR?"

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.

I liked "The Two Towers: Dude, Where's My Precious?"

That's definitely one of my favourites.
