"...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.
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 were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

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.

I changed the first two. I go to bed now.

Aha! I've got it!
Debate Club:
Legislative discussion

May I interrupt these debates with a question?
It's occurred to me that it would be cool to do Buffista charity-gifty things in honor of CC's sprog and the finale of BtVS, and I have some ideas for both. I would be happy to use my logistical skills toward coordinating them.
Is this something we should discuss in Bureaucracy, or should it go somewhere else?

The generation that could change the world is still looking for its car keys.
Probably elsewhere, so that it doesn't get interrupted by a fight over font size. But I'm darned if I know where. Maybe in each shows' respective thread?

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
I'd think that would go in Natter or the show threads, with announcements in Press. It seems like that's where those things have usually been.
