Spike: Ladies. Come on in. Plenty of blood in the fridge, don't be shy. Dawn: You mean like, real blood? Spike: What do you think? Dawn: Mostly I think, 'Eew!'

'Potential'


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.

I bop to Wittgenstein. -- Nutty

Returning abruptly to the Firefly thread naming: Like Vera. Want Vera.

Firefly 3: We call it Vera.
or even just
Firefly 3: Vera.

Also like "standabouters". I was wondering about different words for 'lurker' myself, but the best I'd got was 'listener', which sounds very team-building-training, somehow.

How are you me? You need to stop that. Only I can be me. ~Kara

If it's in honor of Nilly, the mathier one ought to be saved for Natter 17.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.

Deena beat me to what I wanted to say. Natter 17 should be something along the lines of "Natter (4^2)+1--This one's for you, Nilly"

How about: observers, watchers, auditers, lookers, constant readers, party people, the silent majority, non-posters, or the wordless ones?

Thanks for all the fish.

How about: observers, watchers,

We could just call them Giles' and Wesleys.

Hmm. Some variation on "The Council of Watchers," perhaps?

constant readers

"Constant Readers" is darling.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

I like Constant Readers. edit: or Faithful Readers.

I also like "What Number Are We On, Again?", or whatever the exact wording was.

17 is definitely Nilly's.

constant readers

I can't remember who this was from but I want to say Stephen King? Also I like:

Natter 14: What Number Are We On, Again? or Hormone bomb.

Ficht nicht mit Der Raketemensch!

constant reader is an 18th/19th century fictional cliche. A variation on (Jane Eyre Spoiler) Reader, I married him .

Up with the sun

It was also the title of a column Dorothy Parker wrote for --- ?The New Yorker? Vogue? It featured her famous review of The House on Pooh Corner: "Tonstant Weader fwowed up."
