"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.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

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!

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

Old school Bronze article

Mentions Pruittgate.

Oh god. Pruittgate.

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

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

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

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.

God, yes.
