h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Pretty pretty please let me be a Thingite!!!! I could be the Chief Sublimator of the Concept Thing into General American Awareness!
Yankee-Shoes

I'd like to join the movement too, on one condition: that proper and definitive pronounciations of the new day-name terminology (i.e. is Sodit Sod-it or So-dit or something else altogether) are provided and that I have the support (or at least not the active opposition) of Thingism converts when I attempt to conquer the world (rest assured, I will make uttering the old day-names a capital punishment). Two conditions! *Two* conditions! That proper and definitive pronounciations of the new day-name terminology are provided and that I have the support of Thingism converts when I attempt to conquer the world and that someone recognizes this as a reference to Monty Python. Three conditions! Ooohhhh, I give up.

Anyway, I'd like to be the Minister of Dissemination of Righteous Nonsense and/or Propaganda (at least for local dissemination) unless that's already taken or I come up with something sillier.

Nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition!

Welcome! You'll both have to wait for our esteemed Warlord to come, bang his gabble, and make it all official, but I'm sure he'll welcome you in with open wings ... but you'll probably have to wait in line to take over the world, though ...

Insomnia works wonders... a better title is Chief Subliminator of Thingite Espionage (did I spell that right?). What do you think?

I'd also like to be the Grammar Paranoia Specialist (or maybe generalist), partly because there is already a Chief of Propaganda and I want to feel more important by being the only one in my field, and also because paranoid grammar is quite useful for righteous nonsense. (It makes things less understandable and more generally righteous-sounding). I mean, For righteous nonsense, paranoid grammar is quite useful. I mean, Quite useful for righteous nonsense, paranoid grammar is.
Also, I'd like to mention that the Warlord's banging of a gabble instead of a gabel is clearly a sign of an evil plot (although that's spelling paranoia, not grammar paranoia). I won't complain about it, though, because it's simply part of the grand tradition of Thingism.

Hey, Slarti! Looks like we're in, seeing how things are going in the evil barroom. I wonder how one gets the badge thingy on their site?

What badge thingy do you mean, Yankee-shoes?

I guess it's not a badge, but its the pic with the non-thingite days crossed out in red. I thought that was cool, and seems to be on all the members pages.

OFFICIAL NOTIFICATION

I just visited the main page for the Manifesto to Rename Thursday, "Thing", looked through the pop-up list of members (just out of curiousity, to see if I was already officially listed) and noticed that there was a "Mrs. Slartibartfast", who is apparently the Thingite Upper-Lower-Middle-Management Manager of Stray Brain Cells and All Things Spazzy. Therefore, to avoid confusion caused by this extraordinary coincidence, I have simply changed my name.

By the way, if and/or when I am entered in the pop-up list, I'd prefer my title to be "Keeper of Title-Related Indecisiveness and unofficial Changer of the Mind". This is probably more accurate as I am already considering adding to or modifying my title and post in the Thingite Revolution.

The picture of the days of the week that have already been crossed off is a regular h2g2 "blob", Yankee-shoes. If you want to put it on your Personal Space, just make sure when you're in "Edit" that you have "GuideML" checked as the style you want to use. Just put

And that should put it on your page for you! You can change the alignment from "CENTER" to "LEFT" or "RIGHT" depending on where you want it to be on the page.

Now that everyone's decided what they want to be, and *who* they want to be ... all we have to do is wait for Clive ... and wait ... and wait ...

Though dos't do me a slander Captain of the guard. brprthbrpth - sorry slight accident with a flux capcitor over breakfast the speech centres of my brain are currently living somehwere in the 15th century, verily and probably forsooth as well.

Oh bother.

Putting that to one side for the moment (and a hey-nonny-nonny)
I seemed to recall thinking June - July would be very busy months for me - I sometimes go for days without getting near an internet connection. ('The poor little tike' - yes I know, your sympathy and sarcasm are welcmomed in equal measure.) so apologies in advance for the continued state of absenteeism.

Now where was I? oh yes.

Sounds like a title to me Yankee shoes!
Yankee Shoes - Chief Subliminator of Thingite Espionage

Vroomfindel Thingite of Title-Related Indecisiveness and unofficial Changer of the Mind - I've had to drop the Keeper part of your title 'cos there is already an established group on h2g2 called the keepers and it all gets a mite confusing if I start giving out their titles. sorry aboutt that.
( I can do the phonetics of the week-days if you like. I need to do some work on the page a direct request is as good an excuse as any I suppose. )

and before Mrs Sarcasm over there bites me. I'll get it done. promise. Scouts honour. No really, I will.

I would never bite you, oh esteemed Warlord ... perhaps a gentle nibble, but never a full-fledged bite!

::: to update roster :::

Promise?

Just check the appropriate forum, oh esteemed Warlord!

Thanks, o Sarcastic One!
Y.S.

I second the motion to thank!
