Yes, it's terribly simple. The good guys are always stalwart and true, the bad guys are easily distinguished by their pointy horns or black hats, and, uh, we always defeat them and save the day. No one ever dies, and everybody lives happily ever after.

You can't leave me to my own devices; my devices are Nap and Eat. -Zenkitty

I would just like to say that I am very uncomfortable at the thought of taking our wonderfully multicultural board and suddenly declaring it specifically USian, and non-USians who might attach a different meaning to some USian phrase should just suck it up if they find that phrase offensive.

Yes, the majority of our posters are USian, and the Joss shows are distinctly USian, but declaring the board as primarily USian flies in the face of our behavior as a whole to date.

I kinda like Nilly's "Softer Side of eating babies in Istanbul" idea, but I also like the ME idea.

Color me indecisive.

Oh, the dilemma!

We could deathmatch the several thread title proposals until Elena returned. You know, just so that we wouldn't miss her deathmatches too much. [Edited to note that I was kidding, just in case]
