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.

Steph made me want French Toast. Now I feel all UnAmerican.

Teppy - I thought your surgery was Thursday, not today. I'm vibing at you - for an easy and successful procedure and a quick recovery!

I'm getting the pig!

Due to the e-mail I received this morning:

NO. I was NOT defending Zoe by any means with my one single post in this thread last night. I'm unsure how you could have read what I said in that way.

That is all. (Answered here in case anyone else read it that way also.)

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

in case anyone else read it that way also

FWIW, Nicole, I did not.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

I know I hurt Kat's feelings.

If I hurt anybody elses please let me know. It has never been my intent in this conversation (or any other)to do so. Or to call anybody names for that matter.

And in the new spirit of things:

My favorite cus is Fuck, call me a traditionalist. Or don't since one of my achievements of which I am most proud is teaching my Mother to swear. (Alas, there was no way to put that on my resume).

My new favorite curse is "buggering hell." Hubby twitches when I say "fuck" because he feels it's unladylike (which caused me to stare at him in concern that, after 18 years together, he still has fantasies of me being ladylike), but "bugger" doesn't bother him as much.

Put me down as a buggerer. And a shitter. And a fucker.

erm.. so to speak.

Under great pressure nothing beats the eloquence of a nice long string of fuckity fucking fucks.

Also, awfully fond of "sodding" in front of anything that does not please me.

Oh, look! It's just like Sartre.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."

Will no one speak up for the silly and harmless -- and thus more startling -- "Oh my sainted Aunt Marie!" or "For the love of Mike!"?

Am I the only one, she asks tremulously??

Sometimes, a well-placed "Jesus wept" can be very effective. Okay, maybe it only works when you can hear the "I'm about to beat your brains in" tone.

aka "The artist formerly known as Corwood Industries."

I cuss quite a bit. It's just considered polite here in Texas. Apologies to anyone I've offended with a stray epithet. It's just my way of trying to talk around the bullshit.

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

Am I the only one, she asks tremulously??

Oh, for crying out loud. No, for Pete's sake...
