As per bloody usual the do-gooders start well, and then lose their inspiration. Or run out of energy

So much more milage in hatred and anger.

Maybe they should just admit to being the losers we all know they are?

And if I don't see the end of those revolting group hugs, disgusting overdone sixties protest songs appropriate only to Flower Children of the most seedy, spaced-out-on-weed types, I'll lop your friggin heads off.

THAT CLEAR ALREADY?!!!

It's disgusting and gross to see a bunch of otherwise sane adults behaving like four year olds on a mushy-lets-get-married-day.

Ah, poor Nunc. You are rather behind the times. Wood had to return his BGF Sword when he resigned from the Heavenly Host. As a 'departure present' the host clubbed together and made him a lovely cardboard copy of his BGF Sword. (I believe that Erin still has the orginal.)

But still, if you are happiest when running around with your hair on fire, and weilding cardboard sword, then who am I to stop you.

If you haave moment, can you stick your hair in the fireplace and light the fire please.

This seems like a competition to me so why was I not asked to adjudicate?

It seems to me that you all have a valid case so what is needed is legal argument based on past precedent, as that is how for many many years the British justice system has worked.

It strikes me that this thread can be viewed as a microcosm of life itself. There are many people working so far successfully to keep it heavenly, and if it is to be enjoyed by all safely that is where it must stay.

Some who would like to see it go to Hell think that just by being nasty or swearing loudly the whole thing will have to be taken to a place where such things are commonplace.

Some think that by using erudite argument the correct platform for such a discussion is Purgatory, the home of cerebral material.

Then there are the loonies.........

I am willing to pass judgement on you all, thus condemning myself to eternal damnation if you will succinctly apply legal (or ship) precedent in the quest to determine the best resting place for a thread such as this.

To summarise (and in so doing declare my support for team B) and make it easier on all those who hate reading several pages of garbage, the various teams are:

Team A: Heaven - No obvious leader
Team B: Purgatory - Leader Clare
Team C: Hell - Spike and Kieran
Team D: Kerygmania - Sharkshooter and Dyfrig
Team E: The Styx - No support whatsoever
Team F: Urban Myths - Paul W
Team G: Mystery Worshipper - Ham 'n' Eggs
Team H: All Saints - Chapelhead and Strathclydezero
Team O: Archive - Qestia
Team Z: (?) - Firenze
Team with no name: Small Fire - Starbelly

Time to take sides, pledge allegiance and risk total annihilation, excommunication, burning fires of hell, damnation, nothingness, emptiness, and death if you pick the wrong team.

That's right! Team A has no leader. We are an anarcho-syndicalist collective. And we're all too, like, fluffy to get organised. Looks like we'll have to stop singing because it's disturbing the other brethren and sistren.

How bout a panto! Woo! Let's see. Cinderella? Bags being the handsome Prince. Ooo oo! Who's going to be Cinderella? Babybear maybe? Wood and Pyx_e can be the ugly stepsisters! Atticus can be the one of the lizards that turns into a footman. Or is it mice? I'm a bit out of touch with Cinders. The mice become horses, don't they? Late Q can clap the coconut halves together in time. Isegrim and Stephen didn't declare but there's plenty of horse and footman parts.

More to the point. Who's going to be the FAIRY GODMOTHER!? Woo!! Belisarius and JtD can fight it out and the loser gets to be my faithful servant who travels around with me while we try the slipper on all the hopefuls in the kingdom. Yay!

Oh yeah? And who asked you??? Mind your own business and get back to hosting your pathetic girly quizzes.

And as for Coot's suggestion for a poncy panto - well 'scuse me while I puke.

Panto forsooth. Don't you have any fashion sense? Panto is out. It's the wrong time of year. Nobody would be seen dead at a panto in January. Anyway, the visual images this conjures up are positively emetic.

The lone remaining Team D member (figuring that Arietty will soon be leaving the Team):

Gen. 19:5 (KJV) "[5] And they called unto Lot, and said unto him, Where are the men which came in to thee this night? bring them out unto us, that we may know them."

Hey, I can recognize an infiltrator from Team D, you Bible-thumping exegete, you! A true member of Team C would know that we don't merely think in Hell -- we know.

Spike, I denounce you as an infidel. Don't try to pass yourself off as a Denizen of the Depths when you're clearly one of those patient, earnest nit-pickers from Kerygmania.

Spike isn't on Team D, because any Team D member would not be trying to pretend he is anything but a Team D member.

Dyfrig, where are you?

Feeling all alone on Team D, and think a team of one is not really a team...

and, feeling p***ed off that Dyfrig didn't try hard enough...

and, absolutely hating group hugs...

and, thinking Team C is a better alternative than being a team of one...

If they'll have me...

And even if they don't want me,

I officially declare that I am leaving Team D and joining Team C...


And I don't give a hoot what anyone else thinks.

I fear that the moving house business, though pressing, has lost any wisp of minor momentum that team B achieved. Therefore, we welcome anyone who is feeling lost or isolated at the moment, or is feeling like they don't really belong to their team any more. Sometimes lables are not the most useful things to descroibe human beings with.

The question is, when people genuinely feel that they cannot subscribe to the majority lifestyle, what should they do? Could the church ever be a safe house for these lost souls? Could team B?

I didn't think, in Team C I would have to debate anything, I thought we could just say whatever we wanted. Isn't debating for Team B?

So, then I think I need a good reason why you should take me on your team...

Because Team C wants me.

Because I am drawn to the company of Team C.

Why not?

(adapted from the "one good reason thread)

So, do I get a membership card?

No, you hellishly well don't. If you'd come in here, banged the virtual counter and demanded one I might be inclined to think you were suitable material for our infernal team, but if you have the temerity to actually ask if you can have one, I am delighted to snarl back, NO. Is that clear enough? Push off and join whatever group of dysfunctional idiots are currently pretending to be some other team.

Give me a Team C Membership Card!

I'm obviously going to have to work hard at this, AND I WILL!

Since you are I command you to go to the Heaven Team or see if All Saints can possibly fit you in. YOU ARE NO MATCH FOR THE TEAM C OF HELL

You must have absolute bullheaded NO DOUBT I'M RIGHT opinions to survive in Hell and must be ready to fight to the death (or at least the scalding of your skin) to maintain your beliefs.

will never make it - we'll fry you alive...

My appeal to Erin was met by her usual short sharp comments and an offer to take bribes.

She obviously spends a lot of time with Team C people, so have the rest of us got any chance? Should we keep fighting for what we believe in or go with God herself?

There you are, you see, if you were really hellish like the rest of us, you wouldn't have to work at it, it would all come naturally. Besides, it's far more fun to tell you you can't have one, when you so clearly want one, and we don't have them anyway!

Well, I wanted to support Team D, but I'm not too good on Bible verses, so how about Team A:

Shawn started this thread as a lark,
but a firestorm has grown from that spark.
A small crew is gaming,
Team C fights by flaming,
And new shipmates are left in the dark.

The sharpest intellect is able to gather all the information and use it to present a case as far removed from reason as is possible.

Er ....

Me? I reckon I should change my allegiance now, and fight for team O. The ultimate resting place of this thread should be The Archive.

OK, Call me liberal.

Well, there is no solution for the sniveling wallflower outcasts except to form yet another Team for yet another Board and cast these pathetic souls there.

Sometimes lables are not the most useful things to descroibe human beings with.

The question is, when people genuinely feel that they cannot subscribe to the majority lifestyle, what should they do? Could the church ever be a safe house for these lost souls? Could team B?

[Your compliment is very much appreciated, Belisarius.]

So in support of Team A, I will now attempt my first Ship acrostic:

However
Often
Men
Offer
Sustenance,
Earth
Xenophobics
Always
Let
Italians
Take
Yours.

I would say:

TAKE THAT YOU WORTHLESS TEAM C SCUM

except that as a Team A member
I'm not allowed to say that sort of thing
