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.

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

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

Not having has never been the thing I've regretted most in my life. Not trying is.

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.

Not really current pop culture, but I was playing with the be part of the solution or you're part of the problem meme.

Hopefully a funny riff on it.

Solution, cause it's all in the emphasis.

Lori, who supports me in person and is reading over my shoulder, votes for the Happy Fun Cabal.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

Who knew that Bureau would bring the funny?

NOTICE: New Lurkers, do not be fooled. This is not the norm here in Bureauland. The rest of the Board brings the funny. Bureau brings the concerns and ideas and oftentimes solutions. It also brings the delusions of many that I am not right and that you all do not support me. I know, that in and of itself would be funny if not so tragically misguided. We can discuss it further in your emails of support to me.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

msbelle, I figured out a way to help you. It has something to do with revealing how you're delusional. Give me a call for more details.

Is the "you're having a 'sode" title still in the running? My vote (probably the only time I've ever voted in here) is on that one. Otherwise, I'm a "lurker supporting in e-mail."

I like the ones with the Philosophers names in them. "Emmanuel Kant was a real pissant ..."

Oh, wait. That's the wrong song.
