Have you checked out the No no no!! Forum yet? http://www.bbc.co.uk/h2g2/guide/F63252?thread=100492 That's where all the hilarity around here usually happens. It's a lot of backlog, but you can just pop on the end of the string if you're not into wading ...
cooooooooooooooooooooooooooool
Suz - *is gone* Posted Apr 17, 2001
wow...wading being the operative word....
cooooooooooooooooooooooooooool
Shea the Sarcastic Posted Apr 17, 2001
Well, maybe the operative word would be more like: struggling to keep from drowning in a sea of idiocy, but then that's much, much more than one word ...

then again, you could just dip your toes into the sea... then run away screaming when you feel it's so cold... I'm sorry... what was the question?
cooooooooooooooooooooooooooool
Shea the Sarcastic Posted Apr 18, 2001
That was the perfect answer! Well, that and 42 ...

::: bows ::: For an encore, I will juggle 3 flaming bowls of Jello. Wait... my insurance guy just told me they will only be regular bowls of jello. My publicity guy just told me they won't be bowls at all, just handfuls, as that in some twisted way brings in more people. I give up.

hmmm I just realized why we don't have an actual tea smiley.
It'd slow up the servers even more with its preparation (I mean, really, think what it did to the state of the art ship-- and what it could do to h2g2!!)
cooooooooooooooooooooooooooool
Shea the Sarcastic Posted Apr 18, 2001
I have a tea smiley on *my* Personal Space (she says smugly) ...

LO~O~O~O~O~k
L*U*U*U*U*KE - you must travel to the Dagoba system and there you will learn from the jedi master who instructed me...
*ahem*
sorry
What ever God commands these events or whichever celestial bodies have moved into alignment have granted me a rather nifty but probably temporary internet link (thinks bad thaoughts about the freesrve technical wing...
- I'm calm now 
)
A title for Suz? Will do. Any preferences for starters? ideas generally just get thrown around and agreed upon. however we already have on the roster A Walord (me ), A Grand Vizier, A Minister for Defence (and Occasional Offence), A High Priestess, A Master-at-Arms, The captain of the Thingite guard you've already met (*waves to Shea 
, darling ?) A (Temporary) Commander of the Thingite Suicide Squad and one Camp Follower 
(Did I miss anyone?) Our influences generally range between medievil 
and Gothic with the odd bit of occult 
to the frankly bizzare 
and a dash of the Orient thrown in for good measure 
((because we have a Vizier but don't have a smilie either...)
(Interesting aside - I originally accidentally typed "roaster" instead of "roster" further up this page - read into that what you will. 
)
erm....howsabout I dunno....Chief Archivist of the Thingite Tomes - (I anticipate having to write lots for this (specially if I get another ear-bashin' to update the manifesto again - alright, alright already! 
(but I can't stay mad at you guys for long... 
)
We don't have a Stratagist either, which could be quite useful? How's about it Shea would you want another disciple to add to the ranks?
In any event, welcome aboard Suz I'll see you in the No,no,no forum (the Gods of network servers permitting) please proseed to Sir Loin's Unifrom thread where you will be outfitted with an..um...outfit and your very own Titanium Spork (it's half-way between a spoon and a fork) to have and to cherish as your very own.
As-a-matter-o-fact - just before I went to post this message my connection was severed - did I say it was tempremental? I *really* meant it.
Oh well quickly over to the /info page to see who just notched up the longest posting in 24 hours....
