Co-options...

[lexicon]

When will the results be announced?

[Stuart]

The result is public knowledge.

[Eliot Wilson]

It is? Spill!

Bill and Ted beat the Grim Reaper at Twister

Bill: "You played very well, Death, especially with your totally heavy Death robes."

Death: "Don't patronise me."

[lexicon]

Well, rather than leaving it to word of mouth...tell!

[Al]

Who left?

[Dave the Explosive Newt]

Bess Rhodes left, although I've not a clue who her replacement is either. If you're desparate to find out, I suggest phoning one of the BoT members (many foolishly leave their phone numbers on facebook).


[hr]

I'm Will Watson.

Qui est le secrétaire d'écoles ?

Aaron Laycook was successfully co-opted last night.

Can someone be unsuccessfully co-opted?

[Eliot Wilson]

Tricky, certainly.

Death: "Don't patronise me."

[Al]

Perhaps if someone was co-opted against their will?

[exnihilo]

Or, as has happened, without their knowledge.

[Dave the Explosive Newt]

I imagine it would be if the wrong person was inadvertantly co-opted, via administrative error or gross idiocy.

[hr]

I'm Will Watson.

[exnihilo]

Surely that would be an unsuccessful co-option?

[exnihilo]

Aaron's no relation to Nigel is he?

[Eliot Wilson]

Wasn't he Nigel Laycock?

Death: "Don't patronise me."

[exnihilo]

Yes, he was. I misread Aaron's name. Ignore me.

Tricky, certainly.

I suppose, if it was discovered that they were fatally allegeric to the act of cooption, the cooption could be described as unsuccessful

The co-option could be a success, even if the candidate died; you would just need another co-option. it would also depend on what you defined as a successful co-option.

it's like the old saying "The operation was a success but the patient died." if you define removing an aneurysm from somebody's brain as the success criteria, and you do this then you have a successful operation. if you want to remove an aneurysm to restore quality of life to a patient, and he dies, then your operation has not met its success criteria.

Who will be the first convenor to kill one of the BoT by Co-option?
