What an entirely fantastic cause! It has to be the best thing since mathematics, rock music, Shakespeare and chocolate and the best thing until an equation comprising of the sum of a certain sparky chap and a pair of lead boots! I have gone through life believing that I am the only person crazy enough to believe in the surreal quality of Thursday, and now I know I am indeed not the only one!

Hmm... you're not into this, are you?
If you'll just think up a title for yourself (the more grandiose and silly the better), and Clive the Warlord will be by eventually to gabble you in.

hmm... a title. Methinks I have an idea, although now I have to overcome the problem of being completely ignorant as to which little white box to type it into!
If anyone can enlighten me I'd be most incredibily grateful!
So Happy Thursday people! (a sentiment which will hopefully soon be better expressed by the phrase "happy thing")!

Lol damit! The Th... word should only be acceptable when ending in ...ing! (a brief moment of extreme confuzzlement!)

Looks at Ub's tag name - we've not had a preacher yet.
(Has images - and ye shall all be struck down by the almighty!! - confess your sins brothers and sisters! Renounce the heresy and be welcomed into the church of the true days of the week!!)
Shall we put that down as your offical title or do you want to be known as something else?

That's fine, you can put me down as the preacher!
So anyway, thou shalt joyously raise thy gleaming spork in infinite, humble honour of all that Thingism represents and thou must bestow thy pity on those imposters who in their unenlighted confuzzlement insist on grasping with grimly clenched claws to referring traditionally to the days of the week!

Ah! A preacher! We have a lot of propaganda experts (myself included) but no preachers yet... I'll try to help write some sermons. By the way, everyone seems to know what you mean if you say "Thurs".
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm pretty sure the titanium sporks and regulation uniforms (if there are any - I'm not sure) are available in the "Uniforms" thread, which I think there are two of now: one on the primary Thingite Campaign page, which has a bit of a backlog problem (quite minor by comparison to "No, no, no" - but then, everything is) and one in the home page of Sir Loin of Beef (the master of arms), which I believe is more current.

Due to a filing error long since confided to the annals of history - Sir Loins personal Space *is* the Thingite Armoury.
We did look into trying to get the thread moved at one point for simplicities sake -but then why bother. if it ain't broke - don't fix it.
