I fixed. I don't know yer fancy tags to make the chevrons.

eta - and to preserve my non-geek cred, I had to look up that they are called chevrons.

We don't call them chevrons, dearie.

I'd tell you what we call them, but then I'd have to kill you.

brackets or carets are what I was told, but carets are upward pointing.

dearie, my ass.

brackets or carets are what I was told, but carets are upward pointing.

Right. Whereas brackets hang down from the cave ceiling.

With ferns hanging from them.

Okay, that's it. I withdraw this proposal and propose that the text of all future votes be the following:

Do you want a burrito?

Yes

Hell yes

dammitall, wee P-C!

for posterity! mostly this conversation made me starved for food I have no access to, you heartless things.

We go wild with postability in Lightbulbs:

Corwood Industries: Then, to this:

There is nothing that pleases everyone equally.

I say: BURRITO.

ChiKat Watch out, Corwood. You may re-start the Great Cilantro Debates.

Corwood Industries Regardless of our affiliation with the particulars of its composition, the time is now for all Buffistas to put aside our differences and embrace our - and indeed all of humanity's - shared embrace of burrito-y goodness.

Polter-Cow: Burrito = win.

Cilantro = lose.

Laga: BUR RI TO!

brenda m: Okay, that's it. I withdraw this proposal and propose that the text of all future votes be the following:

Do you want a burrito?

Yes

Hell yes

Topic!Cindy: Also? I don't want a burrito. I want tacos.

Jesse: Are we talking like an enormous California-style burrito here?

Dana: And in the burrito, what's the proportion of beans and/or rice to other fillings?

Aimée: NO RICE IN BURRITOS.

So that would be all things NOT rice make up 100% of the burrito with beans making up 25% of that 100% and the rest is whitefonted. That way, burrito filling surprise.

Laga:Cilantro chopped with onions is a vital ingredient in the One True Burrito.

Corwood Industries: People, people, people. It's lunch time in America and we must build together a bridge to the future that will make the burrito higher. We must turn away from the details of cilantro, rice, onions, meat, cheese, or other available options, and turn to the hard choices we as a group have made together. And that choice is we like burritos. It has been said that some of us prefer tacos. This may be true, but even the most dedicated taco-eater out there will gladly eat a burrito if tacos are unavailable. I have it on good authority that the kitchen of the future just 86'd tacos. Maybe they'll come back; I don't know. But I do know that we can all agree on burritos. We do not all need to eat the same burritos, as only those who hate America will insist on enforcing a single burrito standard. What we must do, though, together, is take hold of that delicious tortilla wrapped around the fillings of our choice, and as a people, take a giant bite. Can we do that? Should we perhaps wipe our mouths? I think I have something on my chin...

brenda m: Now we vote on who has to go get us the burritos. I foresee an epic battle. Not to mention an epic ballot.

Zenkitty:I came in here with bated breath at all the posts, fearing a meltdown, and I find Mexican food. Dammit, peoples, now I want a burrito.

Daisy Jane: I went to a place that had burritos. I had quesadillas instead.

Clearly I hate freedom.
