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

I'm disinclined to vote for a new thread until I have a sense of the poll results.

connie has, of course, already graciously held off the voting for a while. It is her prerogative to move forward.

But as for myself, I don't want to keep adding on until we have more of a building plan. Just a few commonly agreed upon guiding principles which can help us determine these choices as something other than ad hoc decisions which contribute to sprawl.

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

Come on, Hec. I know you like the Sprawl.

When Molly's running around with inset mirrorshades then I love it.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

Come on, Hec. I know you like the Sprawl.

I prefer Chiba City, myself.

Well, I'm proposing reopening it tomorrow, so I hope someone is around to deal with it. Feel free not to vote, Hec.

What's the rush, connie? The fall season doesn't start for a month.

Trust my rage

not connie, but it seemed like she was already making a fairly large concession to put off the vote on her proposal until now. i'm not sure which way I'll vote but I can see why she might not want to put off her proposal any longer.

And speculation will be starting, and it just seemed a unique change of pace to have something ready to go when the need for it (for several of us) arises.

I'd rather not be on the mid-season break before the poll information is analyzed and re-analzyed and mulled and kerfuffled to the point where various people decide it's not a stake to the heart of the community to consider a TV thread.

If this loses, so be it. But something will be decided.

Our wings are not tired.

The ads are starting, and the time agreed to take a break ends tomorrow. We can have the "where do we go from here" (with music!) discussion overlap. The more general conversations that will take place when the poll is over will likely extend for some time.
