There's something about a food that moves all by itself that gives me the heebie-jeebies.

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.

"I keep to a strict diet of ill-advised enthusiasm and heartfelt regret." Leigh Bardugo

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

I have to agree with Shawn here.

So, a vote for Oh, Dear.

Thanks for all the fish.

And, though I'm not in Natter, I have to agree with Shawn and Kat and others who are uncomfortable with the naming threads for poster. Besides, I love oh, as usual, dear.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Oh, as usual, Dear...

I always love a good Giles quote. Plus, a DX quote refering to Cindy, so... win/win.

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

it's a trend that bugs here too, fwiw

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Another vote for Oh, as Usual, Dear

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

I have no feelings about naming threads after people and heven't been around enough to even begin to object about a trend, but I like Oh as usual, dear...

I look more rad than Lutheranism

I don't feel comfortable naming a thread after someone who left, frankly. And I love Cindy. But still.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Cindy has asked me to pass on her wishes that the new thread NOT be named after her. Just FYI.

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.

Well, that should settle that.
