Is it time to resubmit Number 5 is Alive?
I'd have done it if you hadn't.

I can't even.

Development Hell is an excellent title. In fact, it even edges out my second favourite, "Holy fuck, can we name this thread before I kill myself with a cheese grater?", but maybe I need to go for decaf for a week or so.

Pudding works too, IJS, just to torment DX.

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

Development Hell works for me. I like the thematic continuity with the past threads.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

Pudding was fine by me, even if I didn't get the joke. It's just that it was used in eleventy bazillion different combinations, and now the joke (that I didn't get in the first place) has worn so thin that I really don't want to be looking at it as a thread title every day for the next year or so. The whole cranky "Holy fuck, can we name this thread before I kill myself with a cheese grater?" thing applies.

Just logging another vote for "Development Hell".

Or maybe "Development Hellmouth" to make a Buffy connection?

Ann, that's a ferret.

"Holy fuck, can we name this thread before I kill myself with a cheese grater?"

Folks, we have a title for Natter 43.

I've been getting Spam messages on the buffistas yahoo list. I don't know that anything can be done about that other than to restrict membership.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

What is the Buffistas yahoo list? Do you mean one of our regional mailing lists?
