Mal: Well, you were right about this being a bad idea. Zoe: Thanks for sayin', sir.

'Serenity'


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.

Ann, that's a ferret.

Fair point, brenda. I'd assumed that offenders would be asked to Doblerize or otherwise informally warned (preferably more than once) first.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

The Dead Horse title makes me sad. Even though I voted against the new thread, I want to believe that it's going to be useful and productive discussion.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

The Dead Horse title makes me sad.

It really was just a joke.

Yeah, but there are people who like it more than Whip Appeal, and that makes me sad.

I think it should be called "Imagery of Cranial Trauma" myself... NB: This was a joke.

The Dead Horse title makes me sad.

That's why I withdrew When Buffistas Attack. Gives the wrong image.

I still think When Buffistas Attack needs to be used as a thread title somewhere, where it's not implying divisiveness.

The image of Buffistas attacking en masse, or a Fox special about Buffistas getting medieval on people, just gives me giggle fits.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."

Whip Appeal makes me think Cool Whip. Er, actually, and has nothing that I can see to do with voting or voting discussion. Some joke about highschool debates or caucuses or those funny gigantic-voting machines with curtains that move via lever, and you might woo me.

Away from the One True Threadname: No Big Whoop. It's all about the discussion.

Well, there's the part where bitterchick is going to be the Whip, in the Congressional Sense, and the part where people will be appealing to posters to vote their way.

From "Enemies":

Wesley: We must contact Giles immediately.
Xander: Good thinking. Let's waste time with a lively debate. Leave Buffy alone. See how dead she gets.
