(someone please tell me it’s a joke!) I thought it would be fun to select the SDMB patron saint.
…and no, I am in no way trying to suck up to anyone… though a small financial contribution to the QS sailboat fund may be viewed as a saintly attribute.
My, by no means exhaustive. list of nominees:
St. Libertarian
St. PLDennison
St. Spiritus Mundi
St. CM Keller ;j
St. Goboy (Yeah, I know. But it’s no more a stretch than any of the others.)
St. Kimtsu
I’d include some of the moderators but you guys already suffer from illusions of grandure 
<ducking and running>
Just a quick remark…aren’t patron saints supposed to be dead?
I suppose… but there are a bunch of Patron Saint’s on this MB. I humbly put myself forward to be Patron Saint of this MB as I am already PS of Quintuplet Posts and Chinese Food.
This is a message board, after all. Wouldn’t being banned do just as well?
I didn’t have the honor of knowing him, but given how much he was loved, why not make Wally the Patron Saint of the SDMB?
I came into this thread to nominate Polycarp, but now that I’ve seen Superdude’s post, I’m forced to change my vote.
I have changed my nomination for myself… Wally deserves to be our Patron Saint. It probably would have given him a grin.
*Bless us, St. Wally. Patron Saint of Porno Actresses, Strippers, and (conversely) Heart Medication. Also Patron Saint of Dopers Who Get Stuck Thinking Up Arcane Titles and Stuff for Other Dopers. *
Aw…thanks, ENugent and Obsidian Flutterby. I hoped that would be well-received
I’m all for making Wally the patron saint of SDMB, but shouldn’t he be Saint Wally of Putz?
It would be sacrilegious to choose anyone other than St. Cecilia. Also she has such an interesting life story that she deserves to be our patroness.
from Catholic Online Saints: St. Cecilia
A young Roman virgin who was given in marriage to Valerian, she wore sackcloth next to her skin, fasted, and warned her husband that her virginity was guarded by an angel. Her husband was convinced and was welcomed into the christian faith by Pope St. Urban. After he returned an angel with a flaming sword visit Cecilia and Valerian and put crowns of roses and lilies on their heads. Her brother-in-law also converted and her husband and brother-in-law were executed for refusing to sacrifice to the gods.
St. Cecilia converted 400 people, but was arrested and condemned to be suffocated through heat. (?!)
The hottest fires could not even make her perspire (staying cool under pressure! a quality needed at the SDMB), and an executioner sent in to decapitate her struck her thrice without being able to sever the head (in the same way we survive troll attacks, though they may return once, nay twice or even three times). She survived three days, preaching to crowds (who were dipping their handkerchiefs in her blood) and praying.
She’s the patroness of music (having heard heavenly music in her heart when she was married) and is represented with an organ (the musical instrument! you perverts) or organ-pipes in her hand.
