The Bull will not be denied.

Oh is this where we're rabble-rousing now? It's been ages since we had a good rabble! Rabble rabble rabble!

I heard you guys had a huge one day jump.

So many people are going to die, between things like this, governors in Iowa and Texas and no doubt elsewhere saying if you DON'T return to work when they reopen that's a "voluntary quit" and you lose all unemployment benefits, and the attorney general threatening to sue states that don't reopen.

Can we just cancel this country and put California in charge? Just for a bit? They seem to have their heads on straight for this thing at least.

Clothes are staying on for this one.

There are no words to encapsulate my rage.

My boss and I got into it yesterday on the SAH issue, and I had to literally tell him "I'm done talking about this because I'm getting angry at you, and I don't want to be angry with you." He's one of those conservatives just itching to blithely sacrifice us all to the idol of feral capitalism -- he literally said "I don't care how many people die."

Must sacrifice to the Bull. Must sacrifice to the Line.

Must sacrifice to The Bull.

Nah, what we should get, at NO charge, is advanced education, up to a Doctorate if we so desire, completely free of charge (including the fees for staying at a dorm or whatnot). AT THE INSTITUTION OF OUR CHOICE.

If folks deem us so effin' necessary, then they need to put the money where the mouth is.

Which to be fair is plenty fun in its own right but probably not super fitting for your intended setting tone. ^^

entirely possible.

She was extremely unpopular in some circles.

Which time? Or both? He ran in 88 with the other 6 dwarves - sleepy, dopey, doc, sneezy and I forget the rest.

I was thinking vs. Dubya, but, yeah, it would have been just as, or more, applicable back then. But no one really took him seriously in 88. Just another privileged white boy who thought rolling up his shirt sleeves for stump speeches made him look like a populist.

You know, the proto-Beto.

INCOMING!

By Jove, this sounds familiar.... *gazes off into the political distance*

<muted mutterings of consideration>

Now I'm just somebody that you used to know...

Your time may be up again soon, my good fellow. Pip pip!

Come one, come all, old aliases no longer seeing use due to lost PbPs, abandoned concepts, outdated jokes, vanished forumites, and changing community policies. Come and kick up your feet, lean back in a squeaky old rocking chair, and sip some old fashioned lemonade, and let's reminisce in a completely forum-legal and appropriate manner about the Old Days, how's that sound old chaps?

Fight! Fight! Fight! Fight! Fight!

Oh dear old chap, you seem to be having a bit of a smolder there.

Wait why are we bunkering down? Did we miss something?

I say, if you want to talk edges old chap, we're the experts on that sort of thing, not to brag.

Ah, I'm really enjoying my colleague's Lawful nature, but I'm going to pay for it tomorrow.

So, I work for a Global Megacorporation. Due to their refusal to fire anyone, no matter how incompetent, we have to deal with staggeringly-stupid people on a daily basis. In particular, before a course is released, it goes through final testing. If it doesn't work in final testing, its release has to be delayed.

So people in other departments took to just putting in comments like, "Well, this section doesn't work, but we need to get the course out on time so I'm going to pass it anyway."
Needless to say, this led to disasters and student satisfaction issues.

So upper management, in its infinite wisdom, mandated that during this testing, if a lab receives any comments at all it must automatically fail. I'm really enjoying watching my colleague fail my practices with comments such as, "As of this release, they changed the name from xxx to yyy", or my favorite, "Change 'for' to 'nor'."

So tomorrow morning, my manager is going to hear that 22 of my 28 labs failed. She will explode. When she hears why, she will be furious. But he's following instructions to the letter, and I figure who am I to stop him?

for the love of god, GIVE CHAOS A CHANCE!

No! Domecracy for all!

I am appalled that you can't get your kids flu shots for free if you want them.

Pffft. Free medical anything? In America? What do we look like to you, European barbarians?

(( The downside? to the politics ban is that I will have almost no reason to ever use this alias again. I think I can live with that. ))

Nope, not even then....

the classic fantasy setting may or may not be dead, but circular arguments about semantics are alive and well.

People.... People never change.

Where's that confounded argument salesman?

Even I can't argue with that

Remember kids! If you read a dictionary you can recycle your same tired argument over and over again.

Oh, are we up for a scrap, old bean?

I say, are we about to have a bit of a scuffle?

Thought you might have been talking about the partisan, given your handle.

Well that too.

Indeed my good man! Good show!

I seem to note you're missing one on your fine collection there, old chap.

Where are those partisans when you need them?

I say old bean, are our presences required?

Now I believe we can all sit down and have a nice time together and get along just fine.

There's always someone who needs to go!

The next poster is tired of all the fighting, by jove.

Politrolling

Is it time to say "OFF WITH THEIR HEADS" yet?

By Jove, it's been a dog's age since we've been let out. I don't suppose you've any trolls we can poke at a bit, cheerio?

Or Bohemian ear-spoons.

Points mean Bohemian ear-spoons.

You rang, old bean?

Quite so, old bean, quite so.

We approve of this display of courteous rejection. Tally-ho!

Pffft, so this is only about 3.X... so sad... I think a discussion about the Bohemian ear-spoon from AD&D 1 and the Fauchard-fork from AD&D 2 is well overdue...

What-ho, did we hear our name invoked all the way over here?

I say.

I say, old bean, it's been a bloody long time since we've had a good scrap, ho ho. Cheerio!

Let me go! Will not let you go!
Let me go!! Will not let you go!!
Let me go!!!

Can you put staff enchants on polearms? Could there be a bohemian ear-spoon of the magi? :D

I say, old bean! Good show!

Oh a debate, jolly good! We've missed so many of those since our wielder just started hiding all the delightful argument threads.

It's interesting to watch armies of straw men lined up on either side, ready for battle.

To arms, to arms!

Apparently if you want a decent political flame war you have to do it yourself instead of counting on others.

Good show!

Scandalous!

Feel the hatred! Feel the strife! By Jove, feel the anger! Wot, wot!

Denial only fuels the fires of conspiracy, old bean. The idea's been planted, they'll naught to turn loose of it now.

I say dear fellow. None of that conspiracy rabble in here, confound it. You'll stir up the tabloids and then by Jove we'll never be free of the paparazzi.

At last! We've found our true home, chaps!

And since we're mere animated weapons, we don't need to make a fuss about that pesky soul business, wot wot!

I say! Not in public young man!

Well I never!
