Pitch it as Survivor 6: Survivor of the Fittest. Now there's a reality show.
(The Survivor series is about the only thing as heavily edited as this post. Why is it spelled that way?)
And almost sixty-five percent of that was actual compliment. Is that a personal best?

A thread to discuss naming threads, board policy, new thread suggestions, and anything else that has to do with board administration and maintenance. Guaranteed to include lively debate and polls. Natter discouraged, but not deleted.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
So it's like Survivor of the fittest?
Hee. I shamefully admit I would watch a show where contestants had to choose what they want stuffed down their trousers, naked mole rats or mantis shrimp, and watch them make the wrong choice every. Single. Week.

Tim isn't merely ME, he's a Buffista.
Really, if any Buffista gets a TV show I'd think a thread would be a serious consideration. Hell, I'd even put it to a vote: Any Buffista with a TV show should get a thread, yes or no.
Yes
(and possibly 'I second that')

I now want to know which billytea considers to be the right choice.

I like that. I'd second the proposal.

okay, so I skimmed a little, and there was some skipping (but I blame that on the fact that I've been mixing pathwork squares all afternoon and my brain now refuses to recognise three quarters of the colour spectrum) but, has the conversation really become...
- A Buffista, a nekkid prawn and a pair of trousers in a treehouse get a talkshow, nobody hears them fall, how many forrest threads do we create?

It may depend on how many monkeys typing randomly it takes to agree on the slash in Shakespeare, and whether they're grammatically correct while they do it.
Edit: and all these trees bring a new, terrible, punning meaning to 'post Graduate'.

When a tree falls in the forest, and no one's around, do you think it was Tim who killed it?
Natter follows.

I Googled mantis shrimp when he said that and they have powerful, praying-mantis-type claws for spearing fish that can strike hard enough to break double-paned aquarium glass. They're pretty handy with the laceration. However, I also just looked up naked mole rats and I don't want anything that's a coprophage in my pants either.

Yes! We've reached Buffista Nirvana!

Ladies and Gentlemen, I do believe we have our first "I am Buffista, hear me talk show" thread title candidate :)

And this? Is clearly the slug for the all Tim, all the time thread!!

That is the PERFECT slug for a Tim thread.
(Now make with the lack of natter, funny bunnies.)
(Even if you did make me laugh like one of those drain things.)
(Because it was really funny.)
