Sure, as long as you include code for "'Shipping is a pox upon civilization itself" in there. ;D

I'll acquiesce to this as long as we include the caveat that recognizing the clear and present tension between Harry and Murphy doesn't REALLY count as shipping, exactly?  ;)

Good suggestion!  We could make shipping a multiple choice e.g:

SH Murphy
SH Molly
SH Morgan
SH Charity

!SH  :  "Shipping is a pox upon civilization"
?SH :   Where do babies come from?

---------------

If someone really cares about this, we could also include secondary options in parentheses and maybe also the last person you want to see Harry with:

SH [Murphy (Molly, Susan)  !Marva]

Alternatively we could make it on a per person basis:

SH [Tessa+, Marva+++, Bob--,  Ancient Mai+,  Thomas+++++]


SH+++++: <BLEEEEEEEEEEEEEP>
SH++++:  XXXX was meant for Harry.  I will personally hunt down anyone else who stands in their way.
SH+++:   XXXX is the only one I could really see Harry settling down with.
SH++:    Harry should explore a relationship with XXXX.  I think they would click.
SH+:     It would be interesting if Harry got together with XXXX, however briefly.
SH:      I have no strong opinion about this ship (Equivalent to not having the person in the list)
SH-:     XXXX would be wrong for Harry. 
SH-:     Harry should not be with XXXX.  It would lead to bad things.
SH--:    I can't stand the notion of Harry and XXXX.   Might as well turn him into a newt.
SH---:   AGGGGHHHHH!!! Brillo pads to my brain!!

So what do you think knnn, should we include some sort of code (or codes) for what 'ship you favor?

Might cut down on a few of the repetitive "Who should Harry end up with" arguments.  ;D

Nice idea, but with the multiple 'who shot Harry' and my personal bete noire, 'is Changes the last book' threads, I doubt it will.  :)

I haven't been in Uncle Hugo's for a few years, but I know where it is. Cool place.

I'm kinda wishy-washy on the whole Franken thing. (Don't really trust anybody who wants to get into politics  :-\)

I take it from the Steed-esque capitalization that you're a St. Paulian, yourself? (I'm not native to MN myself, transplanted here from the LA area many moons ago.)

Not a native, just lived there for a  while. It was a great place, I understand some things may have changed.

I'm actually more of a fan of Uncle Edgar's and Once Upon a Crime.

this at least cuts down on all the +++ ---- which gets a bit long depending on how paranoid you are :)
