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.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

Folks - We already decided that MARCIE should be done and it was given a fairly high priority on the to-do list. IIRC, Paul (the Spanish guy) did a lot of the basic coding and it is now on ita's desk.

(which is not to pressure ita in any way; just wanted to let folks know where we are).

(and I've been using the word "folks" way too often lately)

All is well that ends in pizza.

Well, you could use Ffolks, but then you'd be evoking memories of Roger Moore as a misogynist cat fancier/mercenary.

Whoa - talk about the obscure movie reference. The bad part is, I saw this movie (on TV, thank god - didn't pay for it). Wasn't Anthony Perkins the bad guy (doing yet another Norman Bates retread, sort of)?

Perkins was indeed the bad guy, but he was doing his interpretation of the deranged Evil Mastermind.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Hey!

Of course, if that said "she", I'd probably tag it.

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

Of course, if that said "she", I'd probably tag it.

Let me take care of that for you:

Um, thanks?

Bwaha ha. Obligatory tag forcing.

Hmmm, content, eh?

Very calm and professional stompy (and indeed community) response to the events over in Natter. Go Team.
