A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

I don't see what the rush is. Let's wait and see what shows are going to be in the fall first. Frankly, I think this can all wait until at least after the F2F.

Thrive to spite them

I know other people have said it but I'm going to throw my voice in---

Tim's show should have its own thread with no vote because he's TIM. It's his show, he's the showrunner/headwriter and he's a Buffista. He's come here during watch and posts and after shows, he's taunted, he's answered questions, he's said accepted both praise and criticism.

He's one of us, it seems only right that his show gets a thread.

I believe Allyson already proposed and it has at least two seconds.

on edit: No. Allyson said:

If I'm totally off base, please tell me so and I'll propose the thread dedicated to All Things Minear.

and Nutty said she'd write a multi-item proposal when she was available again (I believe on Tuesdayish).

There are still seconds, Am-Chau and Cindy, for a proposal that has not yet occurred. Several think it should just exist because it's Tim. FWIW, I second as well.

I'm wondering, and I'm not trying to be a PITA, but, would we vote on the creation of a new ME show thread?

edited to fix idiocy and to add my opinion not just a recap.

Thanks for all the fish.

So, if Firefly were coming out this Fall instead of last would it require a vote to get a thread? Interesting. It would seem like a no-brainer that it would get a thread, but I think that we would need to have a vote in order to follow our own rules.

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

Tim's show should have its own thread with no vote because he's TIM. It's his show, he's the showrunner/headwriter and he's a Buffista.

I'm all for giving Tim a thread. Happy to vote for it, feel like it's the right thing. Don't know why anybody would consider it insulting for us to use our regular procedures.

I'm wondering, and I'm not trying to be a PITA, but, would we vote on the creation of a new ME show thread?

I'd say so.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

Don't know why anybody would consider it insulting for us to use our regular procedures.

I can't explain it without sounding like an asshole, so I'm thinking on a better way to write it down.

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

I'm wondering, and I'm not trying to be a PITA, but, would we vote on the creation of a new ME show thread?

Yes, because that is now the procedure.

Frankly, I think this can all wait until at least after the F2F.

Can I just ask how the F2F impacts this discussion/decision?

I don't think it does, Julie. I think it's just an arbitrary "after we get back home and the season is over and we're settled back in again" sort of thing.
