You know, I just... I woke up, and I looked in the mirror, and I thought, hey, what's with all the sin? I need to change. I'm... I'm dirty. I'm, I'm bad with the... sex and the envy and that, that loud music us kids listen to nowadays.

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.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

I like The Minearverse, followed by thread title.

I like The Minearverse too, as well as Minearvana. The other thread names seem a bit too Tim the person, not Tim the writer. And I don't think that changing the thread name is a good idea. It might lead to unintended crazy-making.

Thanks for all the fish.

And I don't think that changing the thread name is a good idea. It might lead to unintended crazy-making.

But we do it all the times with Natter. Well, it's always Natter, of course, but the set up isn't always Natter #: Blah blah blah. Sometimes it's mixed up to facilitate cleverness.

We are Buffistas. This isn't our first apocalypse. -- Pix

I know an awful lot of Buffistas are Tim's bitch.

I am totally and utterly Tim's Bitch. I'd start a Tim's Bitch thread to talk about narrative structure if I could get away with it. I believe Out of Gas was one of the finest hours of television I saw all last year.

But Joss came first and and and and...

Anyway.

I llike The Minearverse.

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

Hmmm. I like The Minearverse because it's the proper extension of the understood Jossverse. I prefer references to Tim's bloodthirsty nature to his puddin' persona.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

And I don't think that changing the thread name is a good idea. It might lead to unintended crazy-making.

But we do it all the times with Natter.

I don't even read the clever, much-argued-about titles any more. I just scan for the key word ("Natter," "Bitches," "Angel") and click.

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

I'm with David. I like Minearverse for the thread name base, and then something bloody.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Pudding pops of blood, then?

Just you, for that one I think.

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

Pudding pops of blood, then?

Like a frozen tampon?

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Ewwwwwwwwww.

I like "Joss was a gateway drug" and "Death in the afternoon."
