I've just opened it.
Death is your art. You make it with your hands day after day. That final gasp, that look of peace. And part of you is desperate to know: What's it like? Where does it lead you? And now you see, that's the secret. Not the punch you didn't throw or the kicks you didn't land. She really wanted it. Every Slayer has a death wish. Even you.

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.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Ann, that's a ferret.
So when do we start planning? I have no objection to reopening the thread if we start planning now -- and it's never too early to start discussing where.
The F2F thread didn't even hit post 1000 until January, and 1500 until March.
(It's now at 7378.)

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
We started planning both previous F2Fs the previous October, hence it's time to reopen. (edit - and I'm wrong. We started planning the last F2F in September.)

Also, last year, we didn't have the hotel set in place until way late in the process. It'd be nice to avoid that this time around.

We started location scouting around this time last year, because location arrangements were made in early spring, IIRC.

Natter 17=4^2 - cos(p): Could this be mathier, Nilly?
I vote for this thread title.

Planning's underway now, that's the point -- people are asking about picking dates and places so they can put in for vacation time already.

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.
The discussion is opening because Deena, who I am certain is not alone in this, has been told by her husband's employers that they need to request vacation time something like eight months before they take it.
It's open? Cool. On my way.
But we are NOT discussing the Halloween F2F there. That's at PF F2F.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
Another yay for the "Natter 17 = [mumblesomething]: Could this be mathier, Nilly?"
Good on the national F2F. I was just thinking about that, and the need for advance planning.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Could this be mathier, Nilly?
The Buffy reference is good. But I was kind of leaning toward "Could you Nilly that for me?"

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 was all happy with
Natter 17 = 4^2 - cos(pi): Could this be mathier, Nilly?
or
Natter 17 = 4^2 - cos(pi): Nilly could make this mathier
and then
But I was kind of leaning toward "Could you Nilly that for me?"Hhrrrummpphhh!
