Disrespect = death

But if you're very good, I may let you manage a few counties down your way. If you're very very good, I may allow you to be some sort of assistant for Secretary of Entertainment Mnemo.

But Gal55 is on the right track- groaning will be rampant, unless of course you're smart enough to adjust your expectations to something matching my special blend of silliness and narcissism, in which case you'll be prepared to just have a bit of fun with it.

Ah, don't give up so easily. There's still hope that Transsylvania will relieve him of his command and promote Riff Raff instead.

So in other words, it will be a game "Which threads are now important?" or "Find a quote by the phantom"?

The past 3 years I've been bidding for your Director of the Sports & Gaming Division. I suppose this is a wing under the Entertainment Department and I'd give all the performance reports to Mnemo, if this was the case?

As one who has gone to see the live show of this (more than once), I adore the reference.

Ooo, those are some good ideas.... Perhaps sometime in the future.... But anyway, your ideas are very near the truth. Very near indeed!

Quite right, but I didn't realize you were keen to take on all sports. I figured you would find it more fun to be involved at a deeper level with a specific sport rather than manage the overall economics of a smattering of events. But I can shift plans. We still have, oh, maybe three years before the power shift.

Anyway, expect the thread to be started sometime during our mini-moot this weekend (the appropriately named Sally-Shasta-Phantom-maybeAutume-Moot).

Ooo, ooo, are are you going to do more of this? Or the name-pronouncing thing?

I predict that you will do one of those but not the other.

I predict that a variation of the following dialogue will happen at some point (unless it already did ):

He: Will you marry me?

She: *thinks* Have you read LOTR yet?

He: Yes, my love.

She: Have you read TH yet?

He: Yes, my love.

She: Have you read The Sil yet?

He: Yes, my love. I read all the books. Now, will you marry me?

She: But have you joined the Downs?

He: Uh-oh.

I predict that The King's Players RPG and PT are going to compete for the BIGGEST PROCRASTINATION THREAD AWARD.

Also, that the substitution of "ph" for "f" will be a popular change phorum-wide, and later - world-wide.

Also, that Phantom will be very happy when he sees that last comment.

December 2012 will not mark the end of the world, but rather when SpM is toppled from his position of having the most posts on the Barrow-Downs.

They still have a long way to catch up to the Procrastination that is the REB trilogy!

No, no, that will be Nog. He's second, and he currently outposts her by 0.79 posts a day. He'll clearly be there first.

I don't play Werewolf anymore and Nogrod does and is playing ATM so it will be him...and I don't want to displace Sauce. Even though we argued a lot, I admired his humour and intelligence - true wit - immensely and wish he would return. Seriously I was thinking about this, this afternoon and wondering if I should assume a new identity. I feel bad enough passing Pio.

Oh and for procrasitnation I will take King's Players and raise you Wight Fright... but I intend doing something about that very, very soon.
