I prefer Stunebringer or Stunehenge (that one IS growing on me... giving me Spinal Tap flashbacks) but StuneALot has some merit.

Does anyone else use Firefox and the FR pager? When I do, I get an alert in the pager window about needing a plug-in, but can't find out which one. Any clues?

I'm down with UTS Stunehenge. Either that, or see some of my other suggestions from post 893.

Probably Java.

Just read the latest Steyn piece on the Paris unrest. As usual, it's remarkable in it's clarity. Any thoughts on the end game there? Will an uneasy peace arrive by itself, or is there a glimmer of a Conservative revival in response?

Think I have JRE installed, but maybe I need a new version. Thanks, I'll try it...

the only tactic which shall work is brutal Roman Legion style urban riot control, followed by mass expulsions.

um... while some of those have some base appeal, I think "Stunehenge" would be the better option :)

I don't know about that... considering the circumstances, I rather fancied the UTS Are We There Yet?

Seems appropriate.

only if the pods are named "I Gotta Go Potty" and "He's TOUCHING me!"

Is there ANY stomach for that action in France at all? If not, I think we're looking at the existing copycats elsewhere gaining momentum.

I think the countrymen would do it, and gladly.
France has its version of a Blue/Red divide, same as ours.

Just like a GSV, any of the smaller Lifters, ROU's, Fast Pickets, and what not... each would have it's own name Unique to it's circumstances.

I'd probably name mine the ROU Still Collecting Data.

The "UTS Now, Are We There Yet?", abbreviated N.A.W.T.Y.

and the attending pods, the IGP and the HTM.

(if the pods are named "I Gotta Go Potty" and "He's TOUCHING me!")


Charming!


By the way, I'm having some trouble with my connection, so if I go dark, that will be the reason.

Right now, I'm tempted to hit something with a hammer. Fortunately, I have a project available that will permit that, so I might get involved with that for a while.

Here are the standings:

Stunebringer got one and a half votes.
Stunehenge got four and a half.
Astral Asylum has tallied four, coming up fast.
The UTS Are We There Yet has a possible two votes.

All other suggestions got only one vote each.

I don't want to be the tiebreaker yet, so we need to collect more votes, or hold a runoff.


Speaking of running off, I'm going to do that for a while.
