Like Heisenberg, but more uncertain
Like Bronte, but less hang-wringing
There's torture in the Brontes?

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.

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

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

I was hoping for something more along the lines of a chunk of lyrics from "We Can Work It Out" (which should be the theme song for Bureau)
"Try to see it my way
Do I have to keep on talking till I can't go on."
Maybe, Bureaucracy 3: Talking Till We Can't Go On.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
but we can't cater to the most neurotic
But victor, that would be meeee!
Man do I ever not like the idea of a user list, in or out of the boards, and certainly not hosted off the boards themselves. As your local neurotic, one reason is that even my not-real-sounding name is highly identifiable. In fact, I appear to be the Only Person On The Internet using it. It would really upset me to have it displayed on a list, lurker or not. However, this is, yes, hypothetical, because I only use Liese here. So. I'll go ahead and stand (I typo'd "stank") here in my privacy freak corner.
But a) I don't think we need to mention our real-sounding names tendency because I think it will shake out naturally, b) I don't think we need to make policy of our not-similar names any more than we already have, except maybe to mention that a stompy may ask you to change if necessary if that's not already out there, c) I don't think we need a list 'cause of b, and d) if we get our search function back one day in the future, would that eliminate the problem in finding a specific poster for everyone?
Also?
Like Dostoyevsky, but sillier.
I lurve this.
Edited to add that please do not take the above in the wrong way, as I deeply appreciate the work and wording by, respectively, Gus and Ginger, and do not mean at all to denigrate what's being done. It's an important part of the process, and helping me to work through what I think about it all.

I was charmed (albeit somewhat perplexed) by the fannish sensibility of many of the music choices -- it's like the director was trying to vid Canada. --loligo on the Olympic Opening Ceremonies

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

I prefer this to the "Like X, only Y" structures. I'm pretty much over that.
