good point - I'm not sure.
Yes. Men like sports. Men watch the action movie, they eat of the beef, and enjoy to look at the bosoms. A thousand years of avenging our wrongs and that's all you've learned?

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.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
The music board is up (with parentheses).
We can use "Give Me Something To Sing About" for the second edition.

But the parentheses are in the wrong place, Hec.

I think newbies may genuinely be confused when we talk about Buffista courtesy and then snark on Julia Roberts. We do have different rules about courtesy to people on the board and people off. I think Allyson's quote of the old chesnut "Don't shit where you eat" summarizes it nicely.
And the thing is, I don't think we are going to stop snarking at Julia Roberts or George Bush or Carrot Top; and it will include things we would never say about someone registered on the board.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
Okay, fixed the quote in the title, because if we're going to quote, we might as well be accurate.

DXM or Jon can fix it when they see your request.
edit: See?

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
So, no interest in a 2003 Foamy Awards, then?

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
I'm interested. I'm just moving very slowly today.

Good Trouble and Righteous Fights
I hate to see endless thread proliferation, but I'm starting to wonder if we really do need a Politics/Current Events thread. Given how vociferous some of our political discussions have been the past few months, I can understand why some folk immediately say "Can we please not talk about this?" whenever it comes up in Natter. OTOH, I really, really want to talk politics, and it's hard to find political discussion anywhere else online that isn't completely overrun by trolls, so it's kinda frustrating to feel like it's a forbidden topic.
