As skippy as I have been of late I couldn't skip a single message in this thread over the last couple days. The way issues are discussed in Buffista Bureaucracy is a beautiful thing to behold. Thank you.
Bar maid! Bring me stronger ale! And some plump, succulent babies to eat!

A thread to discuss naming threads, board policy, new thread suggestions, and anything else that has to do with board administration and maintenance. Guaranteed to include lively debate and polls. Natter discouraged, but not deleted.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
So, monkey-grooming gestures all around.
Hee. Did you know that when bonobos (pygmy chimps) find a particularly large haul of food (eg a fully-laden fruiting tree), they indulge in an orgy of rampant sex before getting down to eat? Interestingly, eating is the time when social bonds are most strained, with a fair amount of squabbling and hierarchical positioning going on. It's kind of touching that they get all warm and fuzzy beforehand.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
In other words, they have the make-up sex before they fight, rather than after.

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.
Man, that's adorable.

Exactly. I mean, afterwards, they'd be too stuffed to move, right?

I bop to Wittgenstein. -- Nutty
That is rather cute. Oh dear.
Edit: I said that before billytea's second post, which renders it, um, different.

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

It was my booger-in-the-watercress analogy that sealed it for you, wasn't it?

We Buffistas do so love a good metaphor...

Personally I'm more than a little weird on the notion that a ten year old is reading our boards
I'm far less weirded out because her sister is here and is a member of this community than I would be if, say, a 14 year old were posting here unsupervised.

Yep, I like my discussion like I like my drama, with a healthy dash of humor. Now I'm getting all sniffly here.
edit to add that my 10 year old son reads the buff dive quotes that appear when I open my browser and giggles. We don't talk Yu-Gi-Oh enough to keep his attention longer than that.
