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?"
Look, Angel, I know you've been out of the loop for a while, but I'm still evil. I don't do errands...unless they're evil errands.

This is also Shrift's source for the BRQG, so be aware that if your words end up here, they'll also end up there. Finally, please note which thread spawned the quotage and please white-out anything that might be spoilery to Un-Americans.

'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.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
Hec in Natter, on tagging:
Is it really necessary to ask somebody's permission to tag them?
Let me use two scenarios to illustrate my point. Imagine both of these within the context of our virtual cocktail party.
Scenario #1
Jesse: Betsy, said the amusing jape the other day. She said, "blah blah blah blah Jane Austen with a bullwhip."
Assembled Buffistadom: BWAH! Ha ha heee! Hooo ha! heh.
msbelle: Truly Betsy's wit is beyond compare. Let us praise and extoll her virtues.
Rio: THAT'S RIGHT, FUCKOS! PRAISE HER!
Scenario #2
Kat: Betsy's ribaldry is without peer. Why only yesterday... Wait. I'd better check first. Betsy! May I share your bon mot with the Buffistas?
Betsy: I beg of you, no, dear Kat. Though I posted those words on a public board, it would damage them irreparably to have them repeated. Besides, it may lead to the praising and extolling of my virtues.
Sean: You know she really does have a very nice rump.
Betsy: See?!? [runs from the room tearfully]
Rio: YOU FUCKOS!

If I only had a brain...
Now I'm trying to figure out which of those scenarios is supposed to be preferable.

"We have trust issues." Mylar
Spoilery of the most spoilery kind for S7 Buffy from Spoilers, so don't read it unless you are a complete spoiler ho. Do come back and read it after the season is over because I haven't laughed so loud in years.
Le Nubian : According to TV Tome, Sisqo is cast to play Caleb in several eps of 'Buffy.'" Will I be able to cease screaming?
DavidS: He's going to put out Xander's eye with a thong.
Rio - Feb 28, 2003 9:44:28 am PST #2718 of 10000
Are you ready to be strong?
It's amazing how well Hec has rendered my voice. It's like Plei's Wesley. Or Herself's Spike.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Erica in Bitches:
I'm frequently stunned by what some people tell (relative) strangers, she said, ironically to a group of people she'd never met.

Nobody

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
Gleebo in Firefly 2:
Thats true, everything is money, money, money. Im sick of it. Excuse me while i light all my money on fire in a display of how sick I am of it.
Dammit, pennies dont burn all that well.

Natter 9:
Sophia: I am trying to get a Hello Kitty address right now and it won't let me! This is what it says: Consistent with our Terms of Use and Privacy Policy, you are not permitted to register with Sanriotown.com at this time.
I feel like I am doing something horribly wrong! I can't figure it out.
Theodosia: Face up to it, Sophia. You're just not good enough for Hello Kitty. Maybe you should start with mylittlepony.com and work your way up.
Sophia: Well, I feel very unworthy! Cashmere got one!
I gave them all my real info, too. Then I tried lying and saying I was younger, because I thought maybe I was too old. But they had "retiree" as an occupation choice!
