Jonathan Will Always Be My Hero

You know, at least this whole drawn out whatever it is that we have been doing here the last couple of weeks is working to some effect. My wife is the only person I know who can have a hi-larious good time reading Bureau. She's sitting here next to me laughing her ass off at all of us, myself included.

Guy #1: Man, there are so many hipsters around. I hate hipsters! Guy #2: You're at the wrong place. That's like going to Vegas only to say "I hate titties!" --The Warsaw, Williamsburg (OINY)

Um, is this still where I go to ask for an addition to the FAQ?

looks around, clears throat

What does PWP mean again?

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

What does PWP mean again?

I think that's a fanfic abbreviation for Plot What Plot. In other words, a fic that's all sex.

edit: Oh - were you suggesting and not asking?

Both - asking because I've seen it enough to be bothered by not knowing what it meant, and suggesting because I know I'll forget eventually and want it to be handy a la the FAQ. Plus I think it's common enough to be one. (a faq)

(Thanks Hec)

Our wings are not tired.

They say you should seek to learn something new every day. Only 8 minutes into the day and I got it covered.

Swouncing

The option that got the highest number of votes (57 votes, which were also 57% of the total 100 votes) was that more than 50% of the votes are needed in order to win.

From the ballot:

in the rare cases where a ballot question has more than two choices, there may need to be runoff ballots, or you will have to vote preferentially, or we will decide that the vote fails if no choice initially gets 50%. We will decide this either vote by vote, or else there will be another vote where this gets decided for all future ballots.

Up with the sun

Huh. That's not what I would have expected, but if it's the will of the people...

Does this mean we have to resume our discussion on how prefferential voting should work?
