Huh. If you guess what the new thread id will be and try the resulting URL in a browser and that thread hasn't been created yet, you get a screen full of error message stuff....

This girl at school? She told me that gelatin is made from ground-up cow's feet and that every time you eat Jell-O there's some cow out there limping around without any feet. But I told her that I'm sure the cow is dead before they cut its feet off, right?

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

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Are we completely stompyless?
Sad now.

What is even happening?
The earworm would drive me INSANE, and not in a fun way. (I have Nirvana issues, I can't help it.) But I do like:
Thank you, Jilli. I've had the earworm all day long, just from the suggestion.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
Hey, have I ever been officially warned for anything?

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
Not that I recall. I tried to get a copy of your permanent record to ascertain this, but Files and Records said that copying the whole thing would wreck their photocopying budget.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
You were sternly spoken to about the Zoe thing, but I think that was individual posters speaking up. I could be misremembering.

Swouncing
Allyson, Robin remembers correctly, as far as my digging back could tell. Only it was a bit more complicated than that - there was an apology in the middle, time has passed between the original problem and the Bureau discussion, there seemed to be a proposal on the table in Light Bulb for some of the time, and the usual herding of time-traveling shape-shifting cats.
The discussion sort-of starts around Kat "Bureaucracy 1: Like Kafka, Only Funnier" Apr 11, 2003 3:05:10 pm PDT and continues well into the following Bureau thread: Allyson "Bureaucracy 2: Like Sartre, Only Longer" Apr 14, 2003 8:06:29 pm PDT
Would you like some more specific links to anything?
