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.

Here's a wacky proposition: Let's not write the rules for a thread we don't have yet. Let's open Movies. And when we hit post 1000 or some other designated number or date, let's pull together our collected gribes and see where we stand.

In fact, I say we open the Movies thread soonish, and bureaucratize it after the Oscars.

I would be all for that, Jen. And don't you have the power to Make It So?

t steels self for lecture about how Stompies Are Not Moderators, just posters with extra toys.

<blinks, and wonders if the mention of extra toys as an invitation to tell everybody that BF bought self fur-lined handcuffs for Valentine's Day>

Our wings are not tired.

I agree on jumping in with the proposed white font for plot points for 2 weeks after general release and 2 weeks after video release on the huge plot points.

Let's do it!

Is Angus doing Foamies or Jess?

eta: Woo Hoo jengod!

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

I'm doing this year's Foamies, as Angus is allergic to hobbits.

It wasn't -- I was joking about a conversation we had a few days ago -- but, um, thanks for sharing. Have fun!

Only if he got them for all the Stompies.

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

And when we hit post 1000 or some other designated number or date, let's pull together our collected gribes and see where we stand.

Okay, but if there are going to be spoilers flying fast and furious until post 1000 or whatever, how many people are going to take the risk?

Shit's all sorts of different now.

What's a rist?

I think we're more self-policing than we look. I know I'd whitefont if I were going to mention that [Crying Game spoiler]that nice man was a woman or that [Cutting Edge spoiler]they successfully do the Pamchenko twist in competition!. Let's ask people to turn their courtesy knobs up to 11 and just see how things go.
