I believe in the Thingite cause, more in Sodit than Thingy, but still...
"Official Thingy Translater" is the title I request, seeing as most the other thingys are taken.
cheers

Glad to see you're avoiding study in a truly productive manner, Ismarah! We seem to be getting a lot of new recruits lately - all good news for us and bad news for the No-Things. But more work for the Keepers of the Roster...
I expect TTPTB (The Thingite Powers That Be) will be along to gabble you in and present the ceremonial 
in due course.
*gives a buff on sleeve*
Actually I though "Keeper of Volcanoes" was a pretty Thingite-y kind of name already!

No no no!
That has nothing to do with general thingyness and all to do with the special-thingness of being icelandic.
Honestly, you people, you really should be studying

Well y'know as Warlord I have to be seen to stick my oar in occasionally and give it a twiddle.

Oo er! I expected some grandiose stuff about the ever-growing pantheon of Thingites, not single entendres!

sorry sorry...
I didn´t mean to be this late, except in the meantime of posting here I´ve managed to do overseas travel, see Nick Cave live at the Apollo and visit the Towers...
All in all a busy week, and the computer got left behind...
Anyhow, thank you Clive for the invite and the topic drift
cheers ismarah

Thingites and topic drift are synonymous.

Narapoia Posted Jun 12, 2003
Oi! Llama! Who you calling synonymous?
What's topic drift?

ismarah - fuelled by M&Ms Posted Jun 12, 2003
topic drift = lateral thinking = cool&groovy = big bucks
My own, special theory of relativity
