"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
The traditionalist part of me likes the notion of using an actual quote for the title. Either a BtVS quote or an Elena quote.
Hey, unHelpful lady! Stop doing that.
Here's why I like: Softer Side of eating babies in Istanbul
Because it's a little tribute to all the quotes that got spazzed. It's a funny portmanteau of those quotes. It's got Oz in it. It's got old school Cordelia in it. It's got a bigass Troll. It's funny - I won't get tired of it. I'll consider all the possible iterations of meaning, including how soft the babies are, and what Sears looks like in the erstwhile Constantinople. Perhaps with Oz wandering through the tool section.

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.
I like the babies in Istanbul quote.

I like "me"
It must be all that self-esteem therapy starting to kick in.

What Hec said. Although, I guess I already expressed my preference. He just did it better, so I'm, like, upgrading.
What?

Nana korobi, ya oki. (Fall down seven times, stand up eight.) ~Yuzuru Hanyu/Japanese proverb
I'm all for the softer side. The deathmatches can get pretty hostile and we need something to remind us, TO NOT LET OUR FAVORITE QUOTES GET SPAZZED.
Ahem. That is all.

... and that's a Pantera's box you don't want to open. - Mister Furious
Yes. The spirits of retail chains, cities that are not constantinople, and of course, troll-gnawed babies will always steer us right.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Concur. If I can't have monkeys, then I want Istanbul.
Hear, hear. My comrade in simians!
Also, moved from BBaBB. Well, no not actually moved since now I clipped the damn monkeys quote. Now rewritten.
About Wonderfalls. My thought was that the last we'd consensed, we'd erred on the side of wait and see. I think we'd concluded that since Wonderfalls, though a Tim product, was not a ME product, and thus not necessarily a central focus of the boards. It was more along the lines of 'other things we love' like Lord of the Rings or the Three-In-One fandom thread. But I think we'd left it open to see how things went once it aired. But on the other hand, it was made by a Buffista, so...

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
I get the feeling that Wonderfalls has moved to being a core concern of the board.
