And Farscape, which is my new obsession, thanks to the Buffistas.
Yay! Another toaster for me!
I'm thinking about buying something very expensive. Maybe an antelope.

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.

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

All is well that ends in pizza.
Repeating myself from Natter...
Yep, back up.
Can anyone say "great service"?
HostageRacket would have ignored it until Tuesday and then wanted us to get a second server...

Unfortunately, I was in the car when we went down. I'm looking into why it went south.

Now tagless for your comfort.
Can anyone say "great service"?
GREAT FUCKING SERVICE!
I still had that HostageRocket moment of panic. It's gone now. All better.

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.

It was down?
Seriously. I missed it.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
YAY SERVICE.

As to lurkers' voting, I myself would never feel right in voting here because I am not an active participant. I wonder if other lurkers feel that way.
Well, I've voted since there was voting (I may have voted on voting, but I can't remember right now) and while I was still very much a lurker. I'd been reading Bureaucracy pretty consistently because I found the discussion really fascinating and I just saw voting as the logical extension of my interest in the debate and of my still-unspoken love for the community, plus it was nice, safe can't-possibly-make-a-fool-of-myself way of participating. Looking back it does seem a little presumptuous, but I'd been lurking on and off for so long (I found you guys on TT, but there was more consistent lurking at WX because I gave up being even mildly spoiler-phobic at that point) that it just seemed the natural thing to do because I saw myself as part of the community to the extent that I was affected by the issues brought to vote (obviously much less-so than an active participant--I found the past problem posters annoying and was glad when they was dealt with, but I was not emotionally involved like those who'd been directly offended). (Could this paragraph have more parentheses? I guess so.)
That said, I understand why the possibility of lurkers tipping the balance and affecting the outcome of a vote makes people uncomfortable, and I definitely don't see voting as something which was my right as a lurker, it was just a privilege I enjoyed exercising because I'm geeky like that.
