I personally htink that doobry and thing need to be recognised in an official capacity because everyone will admit deep in their hearts that they have alternative names. Vive la revolution!!!

Hi Eris. This is odd way to start but have we met before? I've known quite a few Eris's in my time....

and Shea is quite correct we are always on the look out for new recruits for the cause. We like to go in for grandiose titalage here. I am a Warlord, we have a Grand Vizier, Shea is Captain of The Praetorian Guard, We have A High Priestess, A Director if Thingite Intelligence, A Minister for Defence (and occasional Offence) A Master-at-Arms (Please proceed to collect you regulation Uniform and Spork - it's halfway between a spoon and a fork - from Sir Loin's Uniform Thread...), A (Temporary) Commander of the Thingite Suicide Squad and one camp follower. There are more but I've lost count....

We are planning to storm the Towers sometime to bring of revolution to the front page! smiley - biggrin Vivé La Révolution

Clive.

I thought it was you! smiley - smiley But it always pays to check. How are you?

Would you like a title? Hiram Abif (official Thngite Architect and Patron Saint of the Church of the Eighth-Day Inventists )
is constructing for us a Thingite Temple at http://www.bbc.co.uk/h2g2/guide/A546699
We haven't had a diety frequent our humble little campaign before. How would you feel about about being Goddess-in-residence?

Cant stop, revison calls. (exam, Tuesday, panic. smiley - blue)

I must confess it was you who gave me the idea for this campaign, is it not nifty just how it has grown. we are consistantly on the front page nearly everyday (bettered only by Ask H2G2 and DNA R.I.P ).

See you around.

Clive smiley - smiley

I'm not sure what to do around a resident deity ... do I curtsey, bow, or just prostrate myself in homage?

Anyone have any inflatable animals they need protected? Well, being The Protector of Inflatable Animals I thought I'd volunteer my services....Especially animals that have some affiliation with Thing.

They're not so tough....you missed the Broken Glass and Nails convention of '98....the ole BGN '98....now those were the days....back when being the protector really meant something....now I mostly hang around the odd concert or service station opening....
