Wesley: Perhaps the whole point of this experiment is hair. Gunn: I vote he's not in charge.

Bureaucracy 1: Like Kafka, Only Funnier  

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.

I agree with David.

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

But I'm just putting out a motion to table this - or rather let's wrap it up, and let it sink in.

Remember, table's one of those words that's just asking for trouble.

So... where were we on the music thread tally? (changing vote to, oh, heck, why not.)

Our wings are not tired.

I think the Yays have it for music. Now you musicistas need to pick a name.

Bored now. Can I play with the puppy?

I'm guessing "Once More With Feeling" is too obvious. "Give me something to sing about"?

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

"I keep to a strict diet of ill-advised enthusiasm and heartfelt regret." Leigh Bardugo

the way Natter works it doesn't work well for in depth discussions of stuff on a long term basis.

Askye, I totally know what you mean and agree. It doesn't work for long term discussions. But sometimes, I'd like less in depth discussions... particularly when I've just read 300 posts about everyone's personal snot monster or what everyone had for breakfast today or the day of posts about cats. So I giggled at Natter being characterized for NOT being in depth enough.

But flirting and silly sexy language still certainly belongs in Natter;

Well, I don't know and I won't speak for msbelle because she does a lovely job on her own, but I think the point was not so much the 10-year-old, but that we do have mature labels on threads and keeping the porn there seems logical.

and, for the rest of the week, Burrell is me because she posted what I think about thread proliferation. If we have a music and movie thread, can we also have a ready-made style craftiness thread? And West Coast Only Post and Watch Thread? And why I hated TTT thread?

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

"And you can sing along?"

"Give me something to sing about?"

"A breakaway hit or more of a boog number?"
