Les - Grand High Keeper of the Manifestations of the One True Tigger

I would gabble you, 'cept we tend to shy away from "Keeper" titles because there is already a club for that and we don't want to appear to be stepping on anyone's toes. You could be holder, or some sort of thing like that - but keeper is a bit iffy.

Just let me know, and I'll gabble you.

Have you ever tried holding that many Tiggers at once ?

How about:

Les - Sole Representative of the Manifestations of the One True Tigger

[1]



[1] Such a useful smiley [2]
[2] Must keep my footnotes under control

sounds good!
Les - Sole Representative of the Manifestations of the One True Tigger , hereby pro-claim'ed!

*bangs gabble*

See? You can do it without a 3-week wait, to!

You won't be laughing if the footnotes ever do get out of control. I once created[1] a posting to a mailing list with well over 100 footnotes.[3] Many of them were cross references to other footnotes[6]. I also included a few infinite loops[7] to maximise the reading experience. Think of it as the literary[12] equivalent of a Nutri-matic machine...


[1] In the Frankensteinian[2][10] manner
[2] Is that a word?[4]
[3] It's a habit I picked up while loitering on alt.fan.pratchett a few millennia[5] ago
[4] It is now
[5] In Internet time[8]
[6] Often leading to much scrolling up and down...
[7] One footnote[9]
[8] Perhaps slightly exaggerated
[9] Leads to another[11]
[10] I am not suggesting that Frankenstein's first name was Ian
[11] Which probably leads back to where you started[7]
[12] For an arbitrarily low value of literary

I once created an ifinity loop in Pascal. It crashed my computer.

Computers by nature can't deal with infinities.

Neither can humans.

Computers can deal with them, they just won't stop once they've started them!

I have the same trouble with writing phenomenomenon and bananananana. I can spell them, I just don't know when to stop.[1]

[1] That might be the Pratchett influence again

Probably.
