Played with Kaylee. Sun came out, and I walked on my feet and heard with my ears. I ate the bits, the bits stayed down, and I work. I function like I'm a girl. I hate it because I know it'll go away. The sun goes dark and chaos has come again. Bits. Fluids. What am I?!

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

There's no reason not to proceed with that schedule anyway. We've had schedules before without voting on them. It's not like the proposal would have had any teeth that you now can't access.

We're all getting played with, babe. -Weird Barbie

Jon, I know. It's not that so much as wishing more people were invested enough in F2F in general. It makes me wonder if enough people are interested to continue the tradition.

I've also had a hellish couple of months between Drew's illness and then having to catch up at work, so I'm not in the best place emotionally right now. I'm taking it personally, which I know is ridiculous.

Our wings are not tired.

I feel I must warn that my cuts are radical. I find much of it completely irrelevant at this point.

Just like you do with clutter! And wardrobes!

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

Dudes, if we've established a voting period, we established a voting period. This is why we need a cheesebutt document posted.
There's no point having a quorum if you just leave the vote open until you get it.

I entirely agree. We have a quorum established for a reason. If this vote didn't get it, maybe it's not something we should establish. It certainly didn't get a lot of discussion either. Since we can talk anything to death, maybe this isn't a rule we should try to put in place forever.

I think doing that is a much better precedent than to start bending the rules all willy nilly.

Or, this.

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

Do I get bonus points for using precedent and willy nilly in the same sentence?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Yes.

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

Dude. Law people get no points for using precedent.

But they get bonus points for willy nilly, so it evens out.

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

I vote for President Willy Nilly.
