You do well to flee, townspeople! I will pillage your lands and dwellings! I will burn your crops and make merry sport with your more attractive daughters! Ha ha ha! Mark my words! Ooh! Ale! I smell delicious ale!

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.

Kristen, get out of my brain.

I'm leaving now. But I'm glad to hear it wasn't just me.

Ooooh...pink!

What is even happening?

1) Lurkers; 2) Dead Horses; 3) Cabal; 4) Monkey

You know Bureaucracy 3: Lurkers, Dead Horses, Cabal, Monkey

has a nice ring to it, and I hate all the monkey threads.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Kristen, I'd mentioned it in thread before, but Tim obliquely encouraged it, so they stopped discussing profit, but the rest went on.

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

It did seem to stop after Kat mentioned it in thread, so that's good.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

I was going to email No. 6 about it, but I think he got the message.

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

Hec, I'd be happy to set up a poll, but I'm too lazy to scroll back and see what should be on it. I don't even remember what the abbreviated titles ("lurkers, solution, sode") stand for anymore.

But tell me what the options are, and I'll be Poll Girl.

Woe to the fucking wicked.

Of the top ones, I like solution best, but I think Bullshit is good fun, too.
