Count me in for Ides. And liking Latin. But Natter 17, I believe, was going to be something on the 'this could be mathier' theme, in honour of Nilly.
Wesley: Illyria can be...difficult. Testing her might be hard without getting someone seriously hurt. Angel: We'll make Spike do it. Wesley: Good.

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 were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

I won't be around today when the topic turns over, but beg you all to remember the Ides when it does!

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.
I love the idea of "Beware the Ides of Natter."

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
I'll be around today to bludgeon anyone who dares suggest something different.

Here's a silly never-learned-Latin-and-the-other-languages-are-not-so-well-either question:
how does one pronounce "Ides"? Does it rhyme with "tides" or with "ids" or with something else entirely, as if it were written in French? I'd like the name of the new Natter thread to ring correctly in my head, after all.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!
It rhymes with "tides".

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
Reminder:
Natter 15: Beware the Ides of Natter
We likeses it. Musts haveses it. (I, of course, stated this preference last week but hey vote early and often - or, um, remind people that this has been an overwhelming favorite since it was mentioned.)

What about making out with Rio?
(Or should I put that in ASSCAPS!)

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
What about making out with Rio?
We don't need Natter to do that.
