I know, world in peril and we have to work together. This is my last office romance, I'll tell you that.

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.

Okay, I will admit to being annoyed at the last minute changes to the thread title for Natter 11. If it were an improvement over what came before, it'd be one thing, but oh well.

So I guess it's not worthwhile having an opinion on the name of the next Bureaucracy thread seeing as it'll be changed at the last minute too.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

It's the quote you didn't like, Burrell? Because Elevenses itself certainly seemed dominant in the last day or so.

Our wings are not tired.

Missed the whole Natter 11 start completely. (Didn't even know 10 was closed) I don't understand the title, but I can search back for an explanation.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

I may be the only person this bothers, but why do we have quotation marks in the title when we generally don't?

Bureaucracy 2: The Student Government Meeting From Hell

Heh. That was Jim, right?

Bureaurcracy 2: There should be more math. This could be mathier

Also good.

Bureaucracy II: No Exit.

To the point. Brevity being the soul of wit etcetera.

Let's wait until Burrell picks one and then change it at the last minute, though.

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

I may be the only person this bothers, but why do we have quotation marks in the title when we generally don't?

Changed. Because it bugged me too.

It's the quote you didn't like, Burrell?

Yep, because the reference is too eliptical to actually make any sense. I liked both the original "It's time for elevenses" and Trudy's "Don't they know about elevenses" better.

Good Trouble and Righteous Fights

I'm with you, Burrell. (Though, not in a choose sides and start another Bureaucracy war kind of way. I just liked "Don't they know about elevenses" but wasn't around this weekend and therefore didn't say anything.)

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Well how could you not, Burrell? ;-)

I'm partial to Screw Kafka, We're Talkin Beckett because a) I made it up and b) the "talkin" double entendre
