pokes head into Bureau, cries at hairless cat hatred, and runs away.
Now, I can hold a note for a long time...actually I can hold a note forever. But eventually that's just noise. It's the change we're listening for. The note coming after, and the one after that. That's what makes it music.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I support Sean's attempts to feed himself (after asking a coworker what he had for breakfast, and having him say he'd have to ask his mother), msbelle isn't actually all that nice, and I AM NOT A COWGIRL.
Not sure about the Empress.
Social capital is useful as a descriptor, but it loses efficiency because there can't be a set value on it.
No, there isn't. But that's fine.
Please, no one shave my cat.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

This makes 2 of us.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
if the original can't be found, I can poke around for it.
It's in Press, from the original vote, if nowhere else.

Thanks, Sophia. I agreed with what Jesse said upthread,
This actually points up the fact that we need this information to be accessible.
and I thought there was discussion yesterday about updating and posting the Cheesebutt thing. But then I realized that I didn't really know what was in it, exactly.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

That's true. i think what I did was write it up in an easy instructional format, rather than in the proposal language.
Are Voting and the Warning Procedure (any menton of either) in the FAQ? Because it seems to me there could be mention of both, along with maybe some history about the yearly kerfluffles.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Losing internet access for two days? Annoying
Paying my Comcast bill? Expensive
Working my ass off for days on end? Exausting
Missing out on three endless days of debate in Bureaucracy? Priceless

> I agreed with what Jesse said upthread,
Did I skip something important from partner in Bureacracy agreement?
My eyes were really glazing as I just read about 250 posts at once!

Okay, after further reflection, I think what I'm trying to say about social capital is this --
It's not just that there is no fixed value on it, but more importantly that if we tried to put a fixed value on it, by averaging together the relative values of each particular post among all Buffistas, that the actual value of a single unit of social capital would average out to zero, or as close to it as makes no nevermind.
That is just speculation on my part, but there it is.

I'm bugged by the cat-shaving. Because shaved cats can be some fugly animals.
Now I am sad because our very furry cat, Burrell, will quite likely need a haircut this summer in order to avoid killer hairballs, and then I will lose all my social capital with Robin.
