Oh, wow. This place looks great. Oh, I feel like a witch in a magic shop.

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.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
I'll just look insane until then.
Are you sure that you'll stop?I'm pretty sure that I *won't* stop...
Also, board totally wonked out on me yesterday afternoon. So, this is what addiction feels like then...

Beware the Ides of Natter: 15

Ann, that's a ferret.
Let's make a blood oath now, and resolve to stab anyone in the back who disagrees with Ides?
Ummm -- Rio's Makeout Den was suggested earlier. Could we save that for 16?

This particularly rapid, unintelligible patter isn't generally heard and if it is it doesn't matter.

All is well that ends in pizza.
Since the ides are around the 17th of the month, perhaps we could have a recurrance of the theme when we reach 17:
Natter 15: Beware the Ides of Natter
Natter 16: RIO'S MAKEOUT DEN
Natter 17: Et Tu, Foamy?

The Ides are either the 15th or the 13th, depending on the month, so the ship will have sailed by Natter 17.
Specifically, The Ides are:
March 15, April 13, May 15, June 13, July 15, August 13, September 13, October 15, November 13, December 13, January 13, February 13
ETA:
There's a mnemonic:
Everything can be summarized in three simple rules, one of which has a poem associated with it.
- The Kalends always falls on the first of the month
- The Nones falls on the fifth, except as described by the following poem:
March, July, October, May
The Nones are on the seventh day
- The Ides falls 8 days after the Nones.

Holy crap.
/me bows to DX's advanced Ides knowledge.

Two years of high school Latin, unfortunately. Some stuff just sticks with you.
