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.

They're virtual parking spaces. Like portable holes. You just pull one out of your pocket whenever you need it.

Wouldn't it be easier if your car folded up into a palm pilot? (Jetson-like.) IJS.

No other candidate is asking the hard questions, like "Did geophysicists assassinate Jim Henson?" or "Why is there hydrogen in America's water supply?" --defective yeti

I know of Sartre, but I didn't know of "No Exit" or that he wrote it. "Like Sartre, Only Longer" is Googleable, making us look clever instead of random. It's a good play on the first thread title and just as short. I want it.

Sure looks like letting the proposer write the ballot will solve the problem of runoffs. Sweet.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

"Like Sartre, Only Longer" is Googleable, making us look clever instead of random.

(Sometimes, very rarely, on Odd Thursdays in Months With No R, I am clever.)

(Signed, came up with that one, but fine with No Exit, which was what I was thinking of in the first place, because really? Hell? It's so totally other people. I mean, duh.)

Part of why I like "Like Sartre, Only Longer" is it just seems the natural progression from "Like Kafka, Only Funnier."

Thanks for all the fish.

And the third thread could be "Like Minear, Only Bloodier".

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

But they never let us have blood!

Thanks for all the fish.

That's because no one asked Tim to be a Stompy. Imagine, someone gets out of line and all of a sudden their name is in the credits. MWAHAHAHAHA!

Ow. Hurts. Too much. Laughter.

Oh. My. Lord. Mashed Potatoes in New Places. Ouch. Painful.

And none of us deserving the cruelty or the grace -- Leonard Cohen

"Like Sartre, Only Longer"

Like.

And the third thread could be "Like Minear, Only Bloodier".

LOVE!
