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.

What is even happening?

I like:

Bureaucracy 3: Talking Till We Can't Go On.

or

Bureaucracy 3: Like the Beatles, but with much more detail...

or how about

Like the Yoko Factor, Only Unscripted

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

I like Bureaucracy 3: The Lurkers Support Me in E-mail. but I figure that's only asking for trouble.

I think the "Dead Horses 'r' Us" is a good one.

Ann, that's a ferret.

If we have to do a "like" title, I vote for this one.

I want anopther "Like X, Only Y" for #3 as a continuity thing. But "Talking till we can't go on" could work.

"I keep to a strict diet of ill-advised enthusiasm and heartfelt regret." Leigh Bardugo

We Can Work It Out is blandly optimistic?! Have you listened to the lyrics? It's all about how if the listener would only agree than all would be well... that the singer could give in, but then tragedy would ensue.

It's not about working anything out... it's about caving in the end.

Personally I'd laugh if I saw, "Bureaucracy 3: Run by the Activist Cabal" but, you know, only because I think it's funny. It would undoubtedly ruffle too many feathers.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

I'd rather stick with a "Like X, only Y" title. It's tradition!

I kinda like this. But I also kind of like sticking with a Like X, Only Y title.

I can't even.

I think this has the ironic self-awareness that is the Buffista trademark. Plus, with the funny. Trouble? Bah, we laugh in the face of danger.
