Re: The Index of the Giant's Comments V―On a Saner Forum, We Wouldn't Need this Index
Sadly, "Apprehensively Assessing Analytical Assertions" is still too long at 46 characters.
EDIT: ...all these years later and I still end up posting across page boundaries? Eesh.
Okay, we're talking thread titles for the next thread (so I don't have to rush to squeeze it in if we end up voting on quotes later on). Proposals so far:
- The Index of the Giant's Comments VI - All Inclusive Memories
- The Index of the Giant's Comments VI - Bimonthly Banana Bread at Best
- The Index of the Giant's Comments VI - Er, What Were We Discussing, Anyway?
- The Index of the Giant's Comments VI - Now Up to 50% On Topic
- The Index of the Giant's Comments VI - Quicker than Laser-Snail(?)
- The Index of the Giant's Comments VI - Sanity is an Allusion
- The Index of the Giant's Comments VI - Yes, ALL of His Comments

An explanation of why MitD being any larger than Huge is implausible.
See my extended signature here! May contain wit, candor, and somewhere from 52 to 8127 walruses.
Purple is humorous descriptions made up on the fly
Green is serious talk about hypothetical
Blue is irony and sarcasm

Re: The Index of the Giant's Comments V―On a Saner Forum, We Wouldn't Need this Index
Each one of us, alone, is but a drop in the sea
Our powers pale compared with the great heroes
Our battles don’t hit theheadlines or shake the earth
But they are few, can’t be everywhere, and we, many
So, when the world or universe needs saving, they come
But when people needs saving, we are the ones to appear
We're underdogs, but we rise up to the challenge to be heroes.
(Wishing Joe, a low-powered superhero)

Re: The Index of the Giant's Comments V―On a Saner Forum, We Wouldn't Need this Index
Okay....The still-alive proposals are:
- The Index of the Giant's Comments VI - All Inclusive Memories
- The Index of the Giant's Comments VI - Bimonthly Banana Bread at Best
- The Index of the Giant's Comments VI - Dwarfed, Utterly
- The Index of the Giant's Comments VI - Making Dogma from a Few Zapped Pines
- The Index of the Giant's Comments VI - Making Dogma from Zapped Bananas
- The Index of the Giant's Comments VI - Now Up to 50% On Topic
- The Index of the Giant's Comments VI - That's what HE said
- The Index of the Giant's Comments VI - The Undiscovered Comment
- The Index of the Giant's Comments VI - Utterly Banana-ed
- The Index of the Giant's Comments VI - Yes, ALL of His Comments
I'll start tracking and counting of the votes later....Still taking new suggestions in the meantime! I mean, so far the lead contenders are one I threw together in a couple minutes, and one DataNinja proposed three-and-a-half years ago; plenty of opportunity for surprises.
In more serious matters, we have three quotes (in two entries) from the current comic discussion thread (1177) up for inclusion in...late October, unless we get another three quotes before then:
On Loki and (Dis)honesty
"...because his followers believe he is incapable of honesty, he actually is incapable of honesty (except to Thor)". Also, "honesty" is distinct from "not lying": "If Loki tells the truth in the cause of trickery, he is still not being honest.".#1177 2019/08/26 The Mutable Nature of the Gods
"...the fact that the gods are the way they are now does not preclude them having existed in some other form in the past—one that we might not have thought of as 'gods' ".#1177 2019/08/26 FeytouchedBanana eldritch disciple avatar by...me!

My only issue with Now Up to 50% On Topic is that the number seems unreasonably high.

I rather like:
The Index of the Giant's Comments VI - Yes, ALL of His Comments
Can we put smilies in thread titles? If we can, I vote:

Re: The Index of the Giant's Comments V―On a Saner Forum, We Wouldn't Need this Index
I don't know. We specifically DONT include all of his comments, so having that as a thread title seems, at best, deceptive.
“Evil is evil. Lesser, greater, middling, it's all the same. Proportions are negotiated, boundaries blurred. I'm not a pious hermit, I haven't done only good in my life. But if I'm to choose between one evil and another, then I prefer not to choose at all.”

Re: The Index of the Giant's Comments V―On a Saner Forum, We Wouldn't Need this Index
...well I'll be darned. I'd not even realized that.
I still feel like 50% is a good reasonable upper bound. There's still generally mostly tangentially related topics being discussed. It's not that often that it gets off topic from comment discussion/meta-thread topics. Honest.

Re: The Index of the Giant's Comments V―On a Saner Forum, We Wouldn't Need this Index
I like
“The Index of the Giant's Comments VI - Rich in comments”
the best thus far, I think.
I don’t want to name the index “The Index of the Giant's Comments VI - That's what HE said,” but I will admit that it got a chuckle out of me when I read it.Sincerely,

Re: The Index of the Giant's Comments V―On a Saner Forum, We Wouldn't Need this Index
My vote goes for

or
The Index of the Giant's Comments VI - That's what HE said
I liked "Rich in Comments", but last iteration was already a "Rich" joke.Each one of us, alone, is but a drop in the sea
