'Day' is a vestigial mode of time measurement based on solar cycles. It's not applicable. I didn't get you anything.

Voting Discussion: We're Screwing In Light Bulbs AIFG!  

We open it up, we talks the talk, we votes, we shuts it down. This thread is to free up Bureaucracy for daily details as we hammer out the Big Issues towards a vote. Open only when a proposal has been made and seconded according to Buffista policy (Which we voted on!). If this thread is closed, hie thee to Bureaucracy instead!

I look more rad than Lutheranism

But we need the random quotes.

For what?

Okay, we are going to do away with them permanently?

That really kind of sucks.

I just like them.

Why not put the link above the "Message Center" title.

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

I admit, my CSS styling of the site has no quotes in it, so I'm more used to not seeing them, but I think the pointedness is quite apropos.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Okay, we are going to do away with them permanently?

The only thing I've seen suggested is Quotes Will Return When Writers Are Back To Work. Totally different vibe.

t facepalm

sumi, I'm a moron. I read your "We need them" as somehow meaning that the board doesn't function without them. Like, in a technical sense.

Sorry -- that was a total negative IQ moment.

(I like them, too.)

vanguard of the socialist Hollywood liberal homosexualist agenda

Okay, we are going to do away with them permanently?

I thought it was meant that it would be temporary, just for the strike?

"give the writers their money or the quotes get it."

Which is, strictly speaking, true.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

I hate the feeling of the writers getting this outpouring of support while so many of the other folks being hit by this situation are either a last paragraph mention or not mentioned at all.

FWIW, ND. When I emailed my Mom and told her of my intentions to bring fruit to striking writers, she wrote back, "you know it's the below-the-line employees who are really being hurt by this strike." So she must have heard that somewhere.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

That really kind of sucks.

I just like them.

So do I. But I like the symbolism that the board is giving up something that the writers created as a show of our support.
