I swore I’d never do this, because the incantation is too powerful and potentially destructive, but I think we’d agree we’ve reached desperation time.
JOAN CRAWFORD WAS A NO-TALENT CHILD-BEATING UNPROFESSIONAL BEDHOPPING DRUNK!

**Sampiro.** When **Eve** smites your ass for that stunt, don’t think you didn’t have it coming, 'cuz ya totally did.
Honestly, we’d have better luck with an invocation involving a blood sacrifice of unbaptized virgins.

Are you telling me we _aren’t_ on the **Eve** of destruction? Over and over and over again, my friend?

Hmmm. **Eve** hasn’t posted anywhere on the Dope in 13 days! Hope she’s okay.
She’ll return **Eve** ntually. What an **Eve** nt that’ll be. But the d **Eve** station she will bring to those who mocked her with persist until the 12th of N **Eve** r.

I do notice that one of the last threads she posted, though it began with an innocuous rant about a pet peeve, turned into an all out fustercluck. I certainly hope she doesn’t think that the Dopers in that speak for even a significant minority of posters.
EVE-LEH! COME BACK!
I’ll personally lick Joan’s star clean with my tongue if that’s what it takes, but to quote Norma Desmond “Hit me! Shout at me! Just don’t stand there [ignoring] me!”

Dear Cecil:
I am 50 years old. Some of my little friends say there is no\*\* Eve\*\*. Papa says, “If you see it in The SDMB, it’s so.” Please tell me the truth, is there an **Eve**?

She’s going to be fashionably late.

Kind of an anticlimax now to show up and admit I know next to nothing about Peter Sellars . . .

I guess I am going to have to audition and train a New Eve to take over for me after Sept. 19th . . . It’s a non-union job.

I never doubted you’d be here.
(And how Askia or Shodan or somebody else hacked into my account and posted that about Joan Crawford is something I want an explanation for RIGHT NOW!)

Actually, it’s a pretty funny punch line.

What the hell do you mean, _unprofessional?!_
(As for the rest of it, why do you think I idolize her?)
