Trust my rage

Meara, how far down was that? I just googled your name and got mostly facebook and friendster stuff. There were no DCistas on the front page at least.

I have zerooooo idea what the admin password is, sadly (edit, never mind, found it in my mail, buried far far down)

Oddly, if you google my name sans quote marks, you find things like my Journal of the American Chemical Society paper and my "rookie of the year" winning (OK, in the GAY MARCHING BAND but still). If you google me WITH quote marks you find Evite invitations from mailing lists to the DC Kings list and DCista list. Since I'm applying for a job at the moment, I just discovered the latter idea, and was rather dismayed.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Oddly, if you google my name sans quote marks

You appear to be pretty popular! Google even has a popular search for you. With over three thousand results.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Yeah, I too would prefer COMM to just be COMM 2. I dislike the sequential threads that don't have sequential numbers, for archiving reasons. And I also think right hand titles should be short, and we've established a trend of not really renaming most of them. I think.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

Well, to be fair, it hardly comes up. Except for Bureaucracy which we do rename.

Swouncing

In vote counting news, there are already over than 50 votes in.

However, due to timezones and religion issues, the results of the vote will only be posted on Saturday morning, board time (so if the proposal passes, the thread will be a little late for the coming episode of "Dollhouse", but not by much). Sorry about that.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

I'm partial to COMMA, but it is not a strong preference. And it has reached 10000 posts. So Stompies, do your magic, if you please.

You know, just in case someone says something amusing in the near future.

Yeah, I know, what are the chances?
