Yeah, but you're an amateur fry cook and I come from a long line of fry cooks that don't live past 25.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

"If you're interested in the history of the community, you might want to take a look at the FAQ."?

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

The FAQ was originally useful for letting people decode our show-based lingo - at least half of it is explaining characters' nicknames. Now that we're a general-purpose internet community, I don't feel like that sort of thing comes up as often.

That said, I love the FAQ and read the whole thing last night and then got sucked into the BRQG for like an hour when I should have been sleeping. So I don't want it to go anywhere, but I'm not sure it's a necessary prereq for understanding any of the conversations happening now.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Perhaps it should say "Read our site etiquette" instead of FAQ.

Do we need to put this up for a vote? Or can the description be adjusted as described? What is the next step?

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

I just checked the code and that subheader is hard-coded into the index.php page. I'd rather not change it without ita's go-ahead.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Is ita ever coming back? Its so weird without her.

Yeah. I mean, I recognize her prerogative in this matter, but I do miss her a lot.

Me too.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

Me three. On both fronts -- she is the boss of her, but I miss her.
