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.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

Me too. And I'm grumpy about being left, dammit. Mollify me with flaming otters.

All is well that ends in pizza.

Not flaming, but here's a big damn otter:

Yes, this was/is my home town. Sigh.

I was warped at an early age by Ring of Bright Water. I love otters and their, "Whatwhatwhatwhat?" noises. And I like their sense of play. Otters are happy making. As long as they're not being swung around the head, or you know, actually on fire.

Well, was it ever clearly delineated which meaning of the word "flaming" Cindy the otter was supposed to be?

Voting for Oh...Dear. I think we may have had a similar thread title before, but I just don't understand the other one. Is it some kind of in joke?

A discussion about an "Angel" thread that first presented otter in DXMachina "Bureaucracy 2: Like Sartre, Only Longer" Nov 19, 2003 7:25:12 pm PST resulted in the thread title suggestion in Wolfram "Bureaucracy 2: Like Sartre, Only Longer" Nov 20, 2003 1:16:38 pm PST

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

I favor oh dear.

Oh, as usual, dear...

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

Oh dear.

And I'm uncomfortable with a growing trend of naming threads after people. It's like a popularity contest.
