Sooner or later, you're gonna want it. And the second — the second — that happens, you know I'll be there. I'll slip in, have myself a real good day.

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.

You sip / say it's your crazy / straw say it's you're crazy / as you bicycle your soul / with beauty in your basket

The late-night name-making cabal. I like that.

No other candidate is asking the hard questions, like "Did geophysicists assassinate Jim Henson?" or "Why is there hydrogen in America's water supply?" --defective yeti

I dub you Denominators in the Darkness, and thereby induct myself into the cabal.

Our wings are not tired.

Going back a long way, it was also mentioned that Firefly was going to be added to the top mix. This was actually discussed prior to the grand opening.

A community dedicated to discussions of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Angel and Firefly with humor...

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

While we're talking about tweaking slugs and the like, it strikes me that the Great Write Way is labeled as "discussion and workshopping of original fiction" when in fact people post nonfiction, poetry, and song lyrics there as well.

Does anyone object to making it "original writing" instead of "original fiction"? Or any other suggestions?

We'll decide in the middle of the night. But works for me.

They come at night... to rename your cities! Re-describe your towns! Put your children in different size clothing!

Fear them.

I like being in the same cabal as you, Lizard.

In two or three hours I'm going to rename us the Midnight Renamers What Rename At Midnight.
