This here's a recipe for unpleasantness.

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.

Come on, we *agreed we'd use* "Got Funding!" ages ago *on WX* for when we moved to the new board!

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

which is why I thought: Natter 5 Gold Rings to Rule them all and in the Darkness Bind Them was kind of snarky fun.

But we already used 9 for Mortal Men Doomed to Natter. (or whatever.)

Could someone tell me why 'We Got Funding'? Because I might like it, if I knew where it came from.

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

And maybe if the proposed title had been something "the bitch got funding" I might have liked it marginally better -- "We got funding" has always always struck me as far too obscure and not at all memorable or funny. And no, we didn't exactly agree to it on WX -- it was proposed, there was some support for it, and then there was a poll and it lost.

t /equally pissy and always hated the name

How about a different quote from the same line, then?

'Spike's Bitches 2: I knew this would happen'.

Or 'we', it's doesn't matter.

Plus 'got funding' makes me think "got milk?"

Somehow my memory actually thought we were going to use "The Bitches got funding" for the first thread when we got here then we stayed with Snarkness because it was so new.
