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.

People HATED Maris because of this. How could anyone be better than the Babe? He really did get death threats and stuff.
Also, wasn't it a case where if the record was going to be broken, the majority of NY fans wanted Mickey Mantle to be the one to break it?
I like the idea of Tommy's plus the asterisk. But not enough to supersede my love of "Revisited".
In general an asterisk means "stats set under different circumstances."
That much I got. I just didn't know the specific reference. Thanks for all the answers.
I am so in love with Natter 61 Revisited.
What does Revisited reference?
The Bob Dylan song (and album) Highway 61 Revisited.
Bound to be an x-post.
Ah, never heard of it, that would explain it.
Natter 61: What's an age-appropriate word for "wanker?"
Hee, love.
Well, then, Natter 61*.
This would be my choice.
Natter 61 Revisited
I vote for this one.
I like revisited. My freshman year of college, some guys on my floor found out I didn't much like Dylan, and they made me memorize "Highway 61," which I had to recite in order to use the bathroom. My dramatic recitiation earned me the right to ablutions. For the rest of the year, whenever I ran into one of them, our conversations would feature various lyrics.
"Abe said, where you want this killing done?"
"God said, out on Highway 61."
