The Meltdown Thread was my favorite thread. I though titling it "Meltdown pt.3" would just be immediatley deleted. Maybe this way it can exist for an hour or two.
When did the Bush Administration take control of BWW???

Additions from the updated list, which was deleted:
PEA SOUP GREEN: when simultaneous meltdowns are occurring, causing the spectator's head to spin from the inability to keep up with them all
FULL OF SH*T BROWN: when someone starts/spreads rumors that are untrue or unfounded
RED STATE RED: When the questioning of a ruling administration's motives and actions are suppressed, vilified and/or prohibited
GREEN WITH ENVY URINE/GATORADE GREEN: bwaysinger-specific meltdown (combination of envy over existence of unlocked Appreciation threads, multiple deleted threads and posts, provocation of moderators, etc.)

Funny you should say that, wonderwaiter. Tiff added a new colour just before the previous thread was locked:
RED STATE RED: When the questioning of a ruling administration's motives and actions are suppressed, vilified and/or prohibited
Oops, too slow. Tiffy beat me.

I'd say we're amid a red state red right now.

I miss it, too. It was basically a vent thread. It was a place to go when someone was making you NUTS and find out that you weren't the only one.
The loss of that thread leaves me feeling very lonely. 
(Not really, but I like being dramatic.)
