John! MWAH! A shiny kiss for you (don't tell Thuy) because your syllogism is right on.
I'm blushing. Also someone will point out soon that it wasn't a syllogism, it was something else, but who cares.
when does a few people agreeing on something become a consensus, and when does that become a decision.
All the time. In the old days. Which are over. Hence the term "old days".

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

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
Look, everyone! Rebecca and I disagree about something! See?
Yeah, you put her up to it...
(PS: John, email me sometime, yes? Profile addy's good.)
I'm good with COMM staying in Sidebar, but I like Jengod's rearrangement of said sidebar. It was indeed brilliant, and hot. Not that I'm greatly affected, because I don't have to scroll for COMM anyway.
I know I have a list of "shit I didn't win on"...
t imagining ita's second list entitled "...and the people responsible..."

"...and the people responsible..."
I'm imagining the files they had in the movie version of M*A*S*H where they could see where the opponents in the football game had previously broken bones.

See, this just reminds me of an old joke:
Q: What's the difference between a normal actuary and a mafia actuary?
A: The normal actuary can tell you how many people are going to die next year. The Mafia actuary can give names.
PS: I note since I was last here that we have a shiny new Voting thread. It's good, except I'm pretty sure I'll constantly be reading the title as "We're Screwing In Light Bulbs, And It's F**king Cramped!"

Michelle T., these are my proposed short (and therefore not floridly witty) slugs. Were they so short as to be blinvisible and therefore non-impactful?

okay, I hate the third one, but the first two I think don't suck.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!
I changed the first two. I go to bed now.
