I remember making a suggestion a few of months ago to have the Buffy quotes available like the BROQ, so that people can go sit at that generator and amuse themselves.
Michele has a quote generator at [link] Do you want to add it to the links page?
And boys -- let's watch the swearing.

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.

No other candidate is asking the hard questions, like "Did geophysicists assassinate Jim Henson?" or "Why is there hydrogen in America's water supply?" --defective yeti

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Sorry about my bad post in Beep me. I could have sworn I was in Natter.

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

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
I did the same thing, Perkins.

I can't even.
That happened to my Happy Birthday Fay post a couple of days ago. I was pretty sure I wasn't in Beep Me. Sorry about that, ita-who-mends.

Note to self: Read New is dangerous when you're on a conference call and not paying as much attention as you should.

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.
That's the only drawback I've found with "read new" instead of "read next" within a given thread: if you copy something to respond to and hit new, you're likely to find yourself in an entirely different subbed thread. I've managed two "D'OH!" moments, which is a pretty small percentage of Homers, all things considered.
Training myself to look. at. thread. title. before posting. Truly.

Hence the D'oh-- pay attention comment.

Indeed it is. Thing is, if I've got six windows open, am working on novel, pushing cat off keyboard, phone is ringing, etc yada onwards, all the script on the page except that which I am actively reading or typing at that precise moment becomes a splotch of grey against white. Other thing is, I'm on similar layout boards that don't have the thread name above the postbox, so the retraining thing is actually a project.
But slowly, I progress to remembering to check above the box and see where I am. Man, internet time is not like realtime. Nanoseconds seem like forever.
