CT POLL: How Would You Describe Chez Tremblay?

[Meryl]

Hey, Tremblayans!  When a new member peruses the forums here at BetterMost, what description of Chez Tremblay would you like them to see?  Vote and comment here.

Thanks for doing this, Meryl.  I'll be interested to see what ideas people have. 

I know not everyone will agree with this, but I don't like the words "cyber" or "virtual."  For one, it's unnecessary - it's obvious that no one is really going to come through someone's computer screen with a piece of cake (at least not this year), for another they both seem very "last week" to me, behind the times.

I totally agree with Clarissa with the dislike of the words cyber and virtual. For the same reason: they're unnecessary and somehow I don't like the sound of them.

Yet I voted for the campfire option, but I would prefer it without the word "cyber" in it.
I prefer campfire over cafe or diner, and I love the descirption " Pull up a log and stick a boot in the fire!"
I think campfire fits more because it's more a reminiscence of our boys than cafe, diner or whatever.

Just my 2 cents.

Agreed.  "Cyber" and "virtual" are really redundant here. 

IMHO, the coffee/cherry cake thingie is overused.

Stick a boot in the fire.  Woowee!

I am with the others. I like boot in the fire, but drop cyber from before campfire.

Maybe something like:

Our BetterMost Campfire: Pull up a log and stick a boot in the fire!

I know the double use of "fire" is redundant, but I like Campfire better than Campsite.

Or

Our BetterMost Campfire: Pull up a log and stick a boot in the flames!

I think "flames" may give the wrong impression in an internet context... CT is generally friendlier than that.

Good point. Like Meryl, though, I didn't like "fire" twice in the same sentence.

Let me ponder a bit more....

like the campfire concept but delete the cyber bit! and like you and Meryl I don't like having two similar words so close together!
