10:38 AM EST 		Recently, Tuxchick made a remark about how the number of 'Untitled' posts was getting out of hand. I've got to agree that this can be anoying.

Is there some way (I know there is) to require the field to be filled with something other than 'Untitled' :) ? That would seem the logical fix.

11:48 AM EST 		I think we should use an automated title generator that will discourage untitled comments.

I'm thinking things like "bstadil rolls in his rabbit droppings"

or "tuxchick is a snake-handling, hallelujah shouting, Bush-voting, redneck"

or "dinotrac is great" (Well, come on -- it has to be credible, right?)

I really like the random generator thing, but to be credible the last one should read more like "dinotrac's every oriface expells BS" :D

Actually, I believe I have an IRC perl script that pretty much does that :)

What the snake part? Tallahassee area has every poisonous snake species locally that exist in the U.S. The worse ones, however, are those that arrive when the legislature is in session. They walk in.

Just to separate the facts from the fiction:

Note the proper term should be venomous - then the clarification that every snake has venom, just not as effective as the four usually thought of in the text abover.

You from Tallahassee, or have I mentioned that I was born there?

What about Tallahassee sticks out in your mind? Hint: pickup trucks in the parking lots with more weapons on racks in the back window of one truck than the total number I ever owned!

Very little, if anything.

My mother pointing out the hospital I was born in on a trip back, that may be about it.

I was a military brat. By the time I was remembering things, we had moved on.
