Oh wow! You look really ominous and mystical! You'll fit in well with all the other weirdoes round here!

Sorry about the lack of response to your membership application. The normal chain of events involves our Beloved Leader Clive, or one of his appointed acolytes, gabbling you in and doffing you with you own titamium plated smiley - spork, but he's been a little bit otherwise engaged lately. Not sure whether it's computer problems, zams or other skool related stuff or staring starry eyed into the visage of his Beloved. And as I'm just a hanger on rather than an acolyte I don't get to do gabbling.
So you may have to be patient for the official stuff, but do join in the fun on the various Thingite threads.
Enjoy!

Oooo... I want to say hi to the Beloved, too... "Hi Beloved"... and hello to Clive the Flying Ostrich, Narapoia with an "a", and Shea the Sarcastic... It is lovely to meet all of you.

Have some smiley - coffee... I brought enough for everybody.

Thursday Sucks!!! Woo Hoo!! and I absolutely love the smiley - spork... its beautiful. I shall display it with pride. Many shall come to gaze at the smiley - spork of the Oracle and be inspired by its beauty and magnitude... And I shall spread the word of the suppression of that abominable day 'Thursday,' and the uprise of the enlightened and powerful 'THING.'

I will definately keep that bit of advice in mind and use it for future reference... However, I will not fear the cursed day... I will stand in the face of the cursed day and laugh WHaHaHaHaHa smiley - evilgrin... Like they say in Harry Potter... "Fear of a name creates fear of the thing itself."... but, out of respect for my fellow Thingites, I will refrain from using the name of the cursed day, until such time that I am face to face with its cursedness, and I can properly call it out by its name (in a very derogatory and condescending manner of course) and laugh at it WHaHaHaHaHa smiley - evilgrin until it cries in defeat smiley - wah and forfeits it's rights to the All-Might Thing!!!

Long Live the Thing smiley - spork!!! Long Live the Thing smiley - spork!!! Long Live the Thing smiley - spork!!! Long Live the Thing smiley - spork!!! Long Live the Thing smiley - spork!!!

Chant with me now...

Long Live the Thing smiley - spork!!! Long Live the Thing smiley - spork!!! Long Live the Thing smiley - spork!!! Long Live the Thing smiley - spork!!! Long Live the Thing smiley - spork!!!

Ok, 'nuff chanting for today... we shall resume chanting again at a later time. smiley - biggrin -- the Oracle has spoken (and all that silliness smiley - silly)

Hey Madman,smiley - biggrin

Funny bumping into you over here in the Thingite thread... Welcome...smiley - hug... pull up a chair, make yourself comfortable, have some smiley - coffee...

Here, you can borrow my titanium-plated smiley - spork until Clive can get you one of your very own... they come in handy for lots of stuff.

Yep... met over at the P.U.D.D.I.N.G. thread actually....

Hey smiley - bigeyes... I just got a good idea for a joke:

"An Oracle, a Madman, and a Flying Ostrich walk into a bar"....

Ok, so thats all I've got so far (my creativity only works at random intervals) smiley - winkeye... Any good ideas for a punchline?

Sometime around christmas an oracle and a madman walk into a bar.
Said the madman to oracle: "so what you can see the future then?"

O: "No."

M: "But I thought you were a wizard?

O: Reality is an illusion

M: That's insane.

O: Mines a pint.

M: I'll get the rounds in...

Madman walks up to the bar. Where he stands next to large, bipedal ostrich vying for the barmans attention.

The Oracle shouted of the din of the bar: "It's not a turkey!"

The madman, sunk his teeth into the arm of the ostrich and murmered something about craving some cranberry sauce.

"Ouch" said the oracle.

A few moments later the madman landed next to him and burbled soemthign incoherent.

smiley - rofl I have no clue what all thats about... but its hillarious... ha ha ha ha ha... I seriously can't stop laughing... thats the funniest thing I've heard in days... smiley - rofl

How 'bout this one:

An Oracle, a Madman, and a Flying Ostrich walk into a bar. The Oracle sits on a barstool looking ominous and mystical. The ostrich haphazardly flaps in beside her and starts pecking at the peanuts. The bartender asks the Madman, "So, whats up with your freaky friends?" The Madman replies, "Oh, them? My shrink says they're merely manifestations of my protective concience and my inner child, and they're having what I'm having." smiley - stiffdrink

Ok, so I'm a psych major... its the best I could do...smiley - winkeye
