No studying? Damn! Next thing they'll tell me is I'll have to eat jelly doughnuts or sleep with a supermodel to get things done around here. I ask you, how much can one man give?

Mr. Scola’s wardrobe by Botany 500

I just got off the phone with Perkins. She posted her cell # in F2F, and now she can't get back online to delete it. Can a stompy edit her post for her?

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

Done.

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

Thanks!

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

When did thread descriptions start appearing on every page?

Perhaps we could use a smaller font for this description? I'm thinking class="smallertext", like the stuff in the left column.

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

I don't like it smaller, myself. Too easy to not read.

What's the goal of putting it on every page? To force people to read it, or to simply make it easier for people to find it? If it's the latter, I prefer it smaller, but let's see what others think.

More former than latter. I was thinking something of similar weight to the content would be more easily registered, especially among compulsive readers. My eyes skip right over the smalltext.

Me? I don't want to be forced to look at it every time I load a page. Seems unfriendly to me for some reason I can't quite articulate.

Why did we ever cut it off? I'm trying to think ... WX does cut it off, TT didn't, PF didn't.

I like it better there. I hope it would cut down on not only natter in un-nattery threads, but outraged objections to deletions in un-nattery threads. Also help with knowing where the to do list is (or that there is one -- once a header is modified, who ever sees the modifications if they're already into the thread) or the F2F info, or the Boxed Set rules, or whatever.

Our wings are not tired.

I like 'em. Small font is good.
