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.
You turned evil a lot faster than I thought you would.

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.

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

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
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.

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

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Yup. Fwiw, my support of elevenses was more along the lines of 'do they know about...' but I wasn't specific, so I'm not too worried about it. Just for the record.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Well, either we go with a formalised selection methodology, or it's a last minute grab at a title.
I can easily say that if I'm the admin on charge when a new thread (especially Natter) is to be created, I take the word of the first remotely plausible Joe that wanders in. I'm just not tracking thread naming with enough cycles to do anything else.

I like this one too.
Hey, I gave up on my perfect trifecta natter title because...candy and drinking. Who can argue with that?
Besides diabetics at their AA meeting.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear
Yeah. I think, when it comes down to it, they're just thread names. The natter ones will be gone in a blink.
And whatever's closest, for practical reasons, gets it.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Ayup. Just needs to be done. I think it's fine.

I'm firmly anti-monkey. And I'm voting for: Like Sartre, Only Longer.
