**Hi Nonny! How’s the books coming? **

Into the Fire released in paperback, contract to be renewed for two more years.

Walls of Ice still unfinished.

A trollat Fortean Times hates my cover.

Guin combines expertise in some unusual subjects (anybody got a question about the Romanov dynasty?), thoughtful comments on the topic under discussion, and general grace under fire that I strive to emulate (anybody remember her dealing with Wildest Bill making innuendos about her sex life? Among us all, I think that only Eve could have dealt with that with as much aplomb as Guin did.)

She is truly a gem, and it’s my pleasure to have known her on this board.

You can go ahead and order a gravestone, Guin, because short of an Act of Congress to the effect of “Everyone will worship Guinastasia tomorrow”, I don’t think a compliment exists superior to Poly’s post.

[sub]And I got to kiss her. Woohoo![/sub]

Must admit, I kinda like Guin too.

Even if she is an argumentative, goat-felching, adder-fucker occasionally.

(joke, Guin)

Is your name really Guinastasia?

My Ode to Guinastasia:

Na na na na na na, GUIN ROCKS!
Na na na na na na, GUIN ROCKS!
Na na na na na na, GUIN ROCKS!

GUIN ROCKS!
GUIN ROCKS!
GUIN ROCKS!

YEAH!

Thank you, good night!

ps: No joke, Guin, you do rock.

She and Opal Cat are my favorite posters. But I am impressed at Guin, just by memory I collected this quick list:

Liberal? Check
Likes to draw? Check.
Loves history? Check.
Looking for a Job? Check.
Interested in Latin-American politics? Check.
Commented on my first post? Check.
I found my soul mate!

Crud. Look at the distance! Plus I am a former Catholic while she is still one (?) Oh well, I can dream!

More realistically, I have to say that I will consider her the lady of my thoughts, my Dulcinea, as I go forth and continue my fight against ignorance. . .

Darn, in reality she is Don Quixote! She is the one doing all the fighting! How many times she is there with an even better answer, than the one I would then never post, because it turned into a redundant one! (If it weren’t for her, I would be the one without a life! )

Here is to you!

Happy 8000th post Guin!!!

Aye, Guin, who selflessly threw herself at the mercy of Ayn Rand for the cause of the Straight Dope! Glory be!

Nope. It’s Kathleen, or Kathi, or Kat. Whichever.

Guinastasia is a combination of Guinevere and Anastasia.

I’m not really a practicing Catholic, btw. More of a Catholic who doesn’t go to Mass and has Unitarian/Universalist beliefs.

8000-I’m not sure if that’s good or bad. It sounds cool, but doesn’t it make me obsessed?
:o

Congrats, Guin!

Allow me to add to the pile-on?

I love Guin, too. She’s thoughtful, sometimes insightful, funny, smart, and every other good thing that is slipping my mind right this second. I can’t recall ever having had a direct conversation with her, but I’ve always admired her from afar. Here’s hoping that someday I’ll get to know her better, and I look forward to reading her next 8000.
