I confess to liking this too much to recommend the removal of the thread, though I know that it has been discussed elsewhere. I might even vote for it when the time is right, because it appeals to my sense of the pointless.
If it IS moved, would the Flea Market be the place for this.
Anyway - I am humbly bringing it to the attention of the Popeye Chucklers.

A somewhat pointless exercise in repetition... but then again, it worked for Monty Python
I suggest a move, though.

I oppose a move, and I've debated this with Ben before! This is as good as anything in the AWW!
And might I remind you I request the moves from Ashley?

Fatty and I have debated whether this one should be here. She's not fussed but it quite tickled me. I say leave it where it is.

This does appeal to me. But I think its time has come. Or at least I think it's time to squabble over wether it should be here.
It seems to have been featured everywhere bar the UG. I wouldn't like to see this go into the UG, though obviously I have no control over that. I don't think it meets the quality standard that we currently have and to start putting novelties in would cheapen the UG.
The Ug is about great writing. This isn't great writing, it's fluff. Amusing fluff, but still...
So how much exposure does this deserve? I don't think we should be leaving it here just for people to find and read. That assumes that the AWW is an end in itself and it isn't. It is a review forum. This piece has been through all of those outlets except the UG. So the real question is do we want it?
I vote for a move. Though obviously while Jodan is opposed our opinions are but chaff on the breeze. So boss, convinced?

It has been picked up by yours truly for AGG/GAG/CAC, and I agee, it has had a lot of exposure. The AWW is about more than the UnderGuide, but it does need to function.
Move seconded.

Damnation. Well, as much as I like the entry, and I do, I guess I have to agree with your argument. It'll get moved, In suppose
(by the way, don't forget to send the email, Ben)

Damn! I knew there was a reason for not seconding moves!
Your wish is my command, master.
