I couldn't believe it the first twenty times you told us, but it's starting to sink in now.

"I keep to a strict diet of ill-advised enthusiasm and heartfelt regret." Leigh Bardugo

I can't remember how this works. But I second Dana's motion.

Our wings are not tired.

Not really a Boxed Set regular, but here are the suggestions I found up thread for the next title.

Boxed Set Vol VI: Unstable nuclear fission was always a danger in the transmutation process. Plus, you all argue very loudly. (Martin, The Flash)

Boxed Set Vol VI: Things have gone way past complicated. (Joe, The Flash)

Boxed Set Vol VI: I love the way that you beat up criminals. (Cisco, The Flash)

Boxed Set Vol VI: You make it sound like using an advanced exoskeleton to fight crime and save the city is a Looney Tune idea. (Ray, Arrow)

Boxed Set Vol. VI: How weird is that?

Boxed Set VI: You are number 6. I am not a number, I am a free thread!

Boxed Set Number 6: I am not a number, I am a free thread!

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

I vote for beat up criminals.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I love the last one. I'm so far behind on all my shows, I may never catch up and actually post in Boxed Set, but I would enjoy seeing "I am not a number, I am a free thread" in my Message Center

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

Superhero wanted - Bad decision making skills a plus.

I like Boxed Set Number 6: I am not a number, I am a free thread!

"Cry havoc and let slip the boobs of war!" -- Miracleman

I feel like we've used a Prisoner reference for a 6 thread before.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

I like "how weird is that," but I'm not a boxed set regular.

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

I thought we'd done Prisoner already too, but I can't find any "not a number" threads in the archives. Let's do it!

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!

Would it be too jarring for everyone if I requested a name change? I've been extremely cautious with how my RL name is deployed on the net, and while I know the board isn't indexed, my name is completely unique on the web and off.

I was thinking "esse" for phonetics and from the latin.

Done.
