This seems a lively board, so we have stuck it onto our desktop. Our last major board vanished without trace.

We are SO ;j ;j ;j !

BTW, you (y’all?) aren’t multiple posters posting under one username, are you?

Not that you are, but what’s the name for that kind of practice–sort of the opposite of a sock puppet? Hydra? Sybil? Legion?

Could be Legion… many in one body. Then again, it could be Hydra… one body having many heads.

Their profile says they’re from Derbyshire. Would that make them a foreign legion?

Be sure to wipe it over with a damp cloth to remove excess traces of glue; the user agreement doesn’t specifically disclaim liability for damage to clothing, but take it from me; they don’t pay up.

We notice that we are speaking in third person. We wonder why we are doing so. Are we royalty? How do we feel about SUVs?\*

We wonder why we’re talking this way, and more, why it seems to be contagious.

Nitpick: **ThreeSarahBirds** is or are using the first person plural, not the third person. **Chronos** is currently using the third person, as he wishes to demonstrate a point in this sentence.

Considering the nature of this post, of course, **Gaudere** or one representing her will be along shorlty.

\< haughtily \>

We knew that.

We were testing to see which of our minions knew.

By showing knowledge and initiative, you have proven yourself a potential threat to us. Thus you must be eliminated.

Please report to Room 137 for questioning, torture and eventual liquidation.

Thank you

If your Fenrisship is listing titles, shouldn’t the list continue with Metatron and Cecil II in order to suitable impress the rabble?

:eek:

I certainly hope we didn’t scare us off. We were "jes’ funnin’ " us.  
Except for Chronos. We were serious about that.

Except for the idea that the torture room is #137. That was our little joke. We all knew that room 137 leads to the scorpion pit, didn’t we?
