I am not...I am not the damsel in distress. I am not some case. I have to work this. I've lived in a cave for 5 years in a world where they killed my kind like cattle. I am not going to be cut down by some monster flu. I am better than that. What a wonder...how very scared I am.

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.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

Is there a pop-cultural or buffista-specific reference in the "Solution" title that I'm missing? I mean, it's kinda funny in and of itself, but I'm not feeling the love.

Solution or Bullshit or Dead Horses.

I don't know whether I was shocked or not to see 150 posts in the space of a day being exclusively about the thread title.

Nice to see the Board hasn't changed much while I was away.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Hey Susan!

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

In order of preference: Lurkers, Job, 'Sode.

Hey! Jon's trying to sneak in some preferential voting.

At the rate things are going, I hope we decide soon, as I may die of laughter if any more suggestions are made.

Solution.

Now tagless for your comfort.

I like Solution or Bullshit.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love

I don't get the solution title either.

I like Consensus/Bullshit, and I don't like Lurkers (the title, not the people--I like them just fine) because I think that joke's getting a little old.

Jessica of the Moon, perhaps you could whip together a poll. I'm not seeing a consensus.
