Patron saint is good. Even if he stops coming, like he did after "Billy" for several months, he can still be an iconic figure like Agnes Bertiz.
Riley: Oh, yeah. Sorry 'bout last time. Heard I missed out on some fun. Xander: Oh yeah, fun was had. Also frolic, merriment and near-death hijinks.

Bureaucracy 2: Like Sartre, Only Longer
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.

No other candidate is asking the hard questions, like "Did geophysicists assassinate Jim Henson?" or "Why is there hydrogen in America's water supply?" --defective yeti

All is well that ends in pizza.
Then, by all means, we have a suggestion of 'Minearvana," so..any others?

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
I think that Tim isn't just a Buffista, but our patron saint, as well.
See, I'm all for canonizing him as St. Tim of the Scythe too. I'd be fine with a Tim-dedicated thread that follows any of his work as long as he's bothering to put out product. It's just...even Mickey Mantle had to be voted into the Hall of Fame. Even the President has to turn in his taxes.

Is now the time to second? Cuz, if it is, I second.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear
Seconding or thirding or whatev.
Wondering if these stick-to-procedure types have heard of lifetime achievement awards :P <-- Please to be noting the dratted emoticon. These words are meant tongue in cheek.

Thanks for all the fish.
I'll second as well.
What good are rules and procedures if we don't bother to follow them? How can we know if they work if we don't try?

I'm against the idea at this time for reasons I will discuss during the discussion period.
I second the motion, bringing us to four. There we go.

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
I thought you were abstaining from discussion, Sean.

Thanks Deena.

um.. Allyson is proposing that Tim gets a thread.
The thread name isn't necessary yet, is it?
Do we still need seconders?
Edited, because name is not the same as title. See what happens when I post and talk on the phone at the same time?
Edited again because.. I guess if the name isn't specified in the vote, and it's not considered "maintenance" then maybe it is needed. But then, since it's Allyson's proposal, it'll be her thread to name.
Also, is thread the right word? Sartre is a thread. What is the collective noun for bureaucracy threads? (I'm gonna get a lot of sarcastic answers to that, aren't I? :) And is it one Phoenix board, or many Buffista boards? I'm thinking about this too hard, aren't I?

Welcome, Julie.
I'd guess, thread name would be something we'd come to by consensus assuming it passes? Like other thread names? Though I'd have no objection to it being included in the ballot -- unless the name turns someone off and they vote no because they don't like the name and not because they don't like the idea.
IOW, I have no idea.
