Reavers ain't men. Or they forgot how to be. Now they're just nothing. They got out to the edge of the galaxy, to that place of nothing, and that's what they became.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

When you're having a shitty time, board friction is highlighted and can add to your stress.

Or sometimes just the opposite. When things are bad, it might put perspective on getting into a kerfuffle on line, whereas when things are good I don't want anyone raining on my parade. I've seen it go both ways for me.

Hah. On Echo, it's axiomatic that some huge fight will erupt in February. I think it's got to be a change of seasons thing.

Or for some of us, the fact that winter. Just. Won't. End. And I generally like Winter (though Fall is my favorite).

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

It needs updating now, but once updated, what would you all like to do with it? I think it would be useful to have a formalized history of what we've decided on some of the major rules, not least to short-circuit the tendency towards confused summary in the middle of a het-up debate.

I want to read it and have it handy.

Send your winter down to Arkansas. The AC on my side of the building is broken, and Monday night I was considering moving rocks into my office and pouring water over them.

Ann, that's a ferret.

We'll take 10 degrees in DC!

15, if you can spare them.

I've been working on a song about the difference between analogy and metaphor.

I was thinking tax season more than weather. For USans, anyway.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

Mentions Pruittgate.

Oh god. Pruittgate.

It's really nice that this isn't the "official" board for a show, you know?

There's that too, although as a single person/single income my taxes are pretty simple. I realize this is not true for most people though.

Let me just say that popularity with people on public transportation does not equal literary respect. --Jesse

When life is carefree and gay, it's all a big party

I first read this as "when life has caffiene and gay," which could be another board motto.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

what would you all like to do with it?

Once it's "final" my intention was to prettify it and have it in the board's FAQ section, on it's own page.
