Zoe: What's that, sir? Mal: Freedom, is what. Zoe: No, I meant what's that? Mal: Oh. Yeah. Just step around it. I think something must've been living in here.

You sip / say it's your crazy / straw say it's you're crazy / as you bicycle your soul / with beauty in your basket

Oh, pshaw. FayJay will be very happy if I happen to be carting Aimee with me as we arrive on her doorstep in Yorkshire.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

Cart us both.

Hmph.

Wrenching us back on-track as I catch up in Bitches:

connie:

I've seen people get freaked by Ouija boards, but 99.9 percent of the time it was subconscious expression of their own weird issues. I don't like them because people let the things have too much power over them.

Emily:

I do that with online personality quizzes.

Aimee:

I don't like them because I've heard too many stories about furniture turning upside down, stoves rising an inch off the floor and them showing back up after they have been thrown away.

Emily:

I read that first as that the stoves show back up after they've been thrown away. Which was an extremely interesting image. Sort of like The Amazing Journey, but with appliances instead of a dog, a cat, and a hamster. No. Wait. What was it again?

[Emily's post slightly cropped for archiving smoothness. Hit me if you wanted it full in there.]

Aimee:

Bitches is like Vegas. What happens here, stays here. Unless it's really funny and then it goes to COMM. And then Bitches is like Vegas and COMM is like LA. What happens in one can go to the other in like, 4 hours.

In Natter:

Kristen: So on the radio this morning, they mentioned that FBC announced there will be a J$M2. How are they going to pull this off? Will the pool of females be comprised only of women that were, until recently, stranded on a deserted island?

scrappy: From what I gather, it will be based on the same delightful ly uplifting combination of prurience, avarice, and humiliation as the first, but have completely different circumstances.

Betsy Hanes Perry: Joe 10 Inches.

moonlit in Kafka: Well after reading the couple of hundred messages attempting to formulate the perfect polling process all I can say is, "Don't you wish you'd given them a politics thread?"

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

Bureaucracy discussion starts to go all meta:

billytea:

Vote early; vote often. Vote monkey.

ita:

Tangentially, but on the topic of poor ballot design, I discovered that my company gave out a culture satisfaction test (easy on the yoghurt jokes, folks) where you could rate statements about the company from 1 to 5. 5 was "strongly agree" and 1 was "slightly agree".

There's representation for you.

Kristen:

if I were coming in to vote now, I'd be more tempted to vote against further voting than I would have been yesterday.

You read my mind. Plus it would kind of make me want to go back and change my vote.

Laura :

So you managed to put another 150 posts here while I did away from computer stuff! Do I need to threadsuck the whole thing, or can someone summarize what we are deciding.

As the Palm Beach County Florida Buffista I declare myself resident expert on poor ballot design.

Wolfram:

Maybe we should discuss voting on the moratorium. Shutting up now.

Sue :

I was thinking Bureaucracy 2: Kafka's Nightmare

Typo Boy:

Bureaucracy 2: Kafka had it easy

Kristen:

Bureaucracy 2: Kafka's Glad He's Dead

Cindy:

We killed Kafka - and We'd Do It Again!

DavidS:

Bureaucracy 2: Other People Are Hell. Come talk to them about deciding how to decide.
