Wash: Little River just gets more colorful by the moment. What'll she do next? Zoe: Either blow us all up or rub soup in our hair. It's a toss-up. Wash: I hope she does the soup thing. It's always a hoot, and we don't all die from it.

'Objects In Space'


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.

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.

Are we going to close Natter 1 after it passes 10,000 posts, which it probably will sometime on Friday? If so, we're going to need a new thread title.

We probably should, if only to keep it from getting unwieldy. As to name's, I got nothing.

'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"

I vote yes -- it makes the archive files a handleable/downloadable size.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.

I also vote yes, if only because thread rollovers and the consequent number-slutting are much fun.

No suggestions as to a name.

Ann, that's a ferret.

I'd also say yes.

And may I suggest a title that fits the posting rate: Faster Than the Speed of Write.

If I only had a brain...

Can we recreate Anyalicious now that she's posting through a proxy?

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

Oooh, yes, please!

'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"

I think the idea was just for Nilly to put a Nilly link up to the post it appears in.

Natter 2: Hey! We didn't break it yet!

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Natter 2: Still the prettiest

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Natter 2: Hey! We didn't break it yet!

That's pretty much where my head is.
