You always think harder is better. Maybe next time I patrol, I should carry bricks and use a stake made out of butter.

Bureaucracy 2: Like Sartre, Only Longer  

A thread to discuss naming threads, board policy, new thread suggestions, and anything else that has to do with board administration and maintenance. Guaranteed to include lively debate and polls. Natter discouraged, but not deleted.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Is it too early to suggest the next Bureau thread title?

Bureaucracy 3: Like Artaud, With Whimsy

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

Like Wimsey, only more long winded

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

Like Dostoyevsky, but sillier.

Like Lewis Carroll, but even more sensible.

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

Like Duchamp, only spleen.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

I still propose something along the lines of:
"Bureaucracy 3: What is it with you people and gerunds monkeys pirates The O.C. kissing girls?"

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda

Like Derrida, but less constructed

Like Heisenberg, but more uncertain

Like Bronte, but less hang-wringing

There's torture in the Brontes?

Ummm. Yes. That would be me, sleepy and typing poorly.

So how about...

Like Hemingway, but more sentence variety

I had been waiting for "Like Minear, Only Bloodier" but, in light of recent events, it's probably unwise.
