> [@kaylasdad99](#): > > ^^^ That. ^^^ > > I really think that this type of thread kinda goes down to a dead end. It was an interesting and potentially fun idea in ATMB, but ultimately it’s turned out to be primarily mean, in addition to being redundant and superfluous. Mean, redundant and superfluous. You got it. And those are my _good_ points. ---

Actually, mostly it’s turned into a collection of spoilers. :eek: Maybe we should retitle this thread? _Do not read unless you’ve already seen every movie, ever._ ---

> [@billfish678](#): > > We need a respectable CHAMBER people. Like with stars and stuff…and a big round oak desk. The kind where you press a button and a part rises with a nice glass of top notch vodka on ice in a fancy crystal glass. Really expensive plushy leather chairs. Lots of giant flat screens to review the evidence… Maybe a giant gong in the corner for dramatic purposes and to give the whole thing an asian flare. And a white persian cat that can be passed around during deliberations. Back when I had a career I worked on the automation for Michael Dell’s place in Hawaii. He had a lanai/conference room with typhoon-proof walls that could be brought out or tucked away with a touch of a tablet. I thought it would be great for one-on-one meetings, with the walls closing as he said, “I suppose you were wondering why I brought you here, Mr Gates.” Then he got cheap and made them manual. The man has no flair for the dramatic. ---

Some time back I posted the idea of an anti-social network. Something like Facebook, except the moment you join, you’re automatically put on everyone’s “Ignore” list. Maybe we could do that here. ---

On a slightly more serious note, if we shift this to a death watch type of thread, I’ve got two candidates. **Cardboard** is high on the list for next banning. See this gem of a thread: [thread=19149165]Cardboard insults mods in ATMB[/thread] I’m afraid that **HMS Irruncible** is cruising for a bruising with his recent habit of posting while wasted. And, of course, Bruce Willis is _actually_ a ghost himself. ---

You mean to tell me that someone named “Cruella Deville” is a bad person? ---

And… **Cardboard** got banned. I am _shocked_. Shocked I say. Somehow I missed **the\_diego** in my prediction list. Also gone. Luke and Leia are twins. ---
