Man, you just get darker and darker, and the weird thing is, your aura? Beige.

How are you me? You need to stop that. Only I can be me. ~Kara

Jon, you don't know how hard it was to wait that long. I wanted to give until 10 minutes after midnight in case my mail was slower than usual -- but I'd been counting as they came in, with a spreadsheet, so it wasn't hard to post as soon as it was over.

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

I'd like to note that once again, the AYES have it. Our record of voting in everything proposed still stands.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Our record of voting in everything proposed still stands.

Which speaks well to the process of crafting a proposal, or maybe we aren't as many different types of wrong-headed crackpots as we'd thought.

Well, Burrell, I kind of expected this one to be a shoe-in. I'm not sure something that everyone hates would have a chance to make it all the way to a vote. I mean, this actually derailed at least 1 or 2 things that were in the queue ahead of it (I'm assuming because everyone wanted it done now and/or were swept away by the glory that is msbelle).

This is what I think. See, the voting winds up being a kind of extension of what was the consensus process. It ratifies it and focuses it.

Bag the crypto. Say what is on your mind.

I'm number 10. That's not as bad as in bitches.

That doesn't exonerate you, though, Gus. You're an evil creature and should be punished.

Dude! Just two posts (excepting the last two)! I'm out of the Gang of 14! In your face Jasper Johns!

Hec, you know, you can be punished too. In fact, I'm putting you on my list. So there.

Pfft. You've got three kids. By the time you remember to put my name on the list you'll have forgotten why. I'll probably go on the "Send Cookies" list.
