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.

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

Hey! Get yourself a room! Or a thread that's natter friendly!

Hec looked deeply into Angus' eyes. "You've got the most fabulous cheekbones. And I want you to endorse my voting methods for board changes."

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

Don't you turn 18 in a couple of months? Oh yeah, they raised the drinking age since I was reaching my majority. Have fun in college! With the Kool-Aid!

Psst. Go to university (not college) in Canada. ita and I recommend Montreal. IJS.

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.

Or Britain. Or Continental Europe. Heck, in Holland everything's legal. Almost.

an overblown libretto and a sumptuous score/ could never contain the contradictions I adore

If I get in at Dickinson, I will definitely spend at least a semester abroad. And most likely in England.

'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"

t reminds self to bump up "getting stoned in an Amsterdam hash shop" on the list of life goals

[edit: Apology for nattering here -- I actually thought I was in the UnAmericans topic, where it would have been a bit more appropriate]

Were I to get Nattery here, which obviously I'm not going to, I'd be tempted to sing the praises of Dutch Chocolate. Which is not only defuckinglicious in and of its own right, but has also rendered someone (who obviously isn't me no siree bob) absolutely totally and utterly stoneder than a stoned thing covered in stones. In Estonia. Why yes, that stoned. Infinitely more stoned than smoking the occasional spliff had ever rendered her. Er. Or him. 'Cause this hypothetical chocolate-eating person could have been a him. What with the whole not-being-me.

Ahem.

Up with the sun

Proposal from discussion at WX: I wonder if we might want to institute formal moderators or ombudsman. From comments the stompies have made, it sounds like they percieve themselves largely as techies who do the will of the people. Which is awesome, but it seems to me that as a growing community we may want/need some people whose job it is to welcome newbies, spell out the spoiler policy, warn people in heated discussions to Doblerize, etc. I was thinking a three-month volunteer commitment with everyone who's posted here for at least a month eligible.

I may be doing that "solving problems we don't have" thing again, tho.

(And I am So!Happy!To!Be!Back! Massive thanks to ita et al.)
