Blimey... I wander off again and come back and find I've been accused of playing a HAMMOND Organ!!
I'm speechless with horror.

By the way, I hope that comment earlier about me being too new to start being rude and ranty was not entirely serious, as anyone who's been on this board recently will notice that I started insane foaming-at-the-mouth rantings (as only an organist can) several weeks ago ![[Big Grin]](biggrin.gif)
And, as Erin has so kindly pointed out, while it may take a while to work out the subtleties of most people's personalities, there are one or two muppets whose true colours hit you in the eyeballs within minutes ![[Razz]](tongue.gif)

I'm sorry. That is only available at the "Patron" level, since it also involves psychological counseling.
For those of you to whom this seems a little incomprehensible, some of us Americans have just been subjected to a week of Spring Fund Raising for our local National Public Radio stations.

I think it would be remiss of us not to mention our more modest levels of giving and what you will receive for your sacrificial giving:
Six Feet Under level:
For $20.00 you get Watchman's personal e-mail address and a Watchman-English dictionary.
Karma Chameleon level:
For $15.00 you get to change your Ship name every time Coot changes his.
Animal House level:
For $10.00 you will receive an indepth study of the history, influence and world overview of GIN.
Mouseketeer level:
For only $5.00 you will receive copies of every "random" thread ever posted on the Ship.
Weakest Link level:
For a buck fifty you get to start a new game thread in The Circus.

Ok, the here are the higher levels of giving:
Donating $10 earns you RooK's undivided attention for a week.
Donating $50 earns you RooK's undivided attention for a day.
Donating $100 means RooK will ignore you for a day.
Donating $500 means RooK will ignore you for a month.

Join the throng. I'm beginning to believe that on the Ship alone we have the makings of a fairly decent Orthodox parish, if physical localities didn't preclude it. It's a Plot™.

Is the fund drive still underway? I'm not sure how it all ties together anymore, but it's worth something to see Erin come out and play with her toys.
My contribution will have to wait until tomorrow, though. I did my taxes today and discovered that I owe the government $4,500. My butthole is clenched up so tight that I can't get my wallet out of my pocket.

In answer to whether Erin is thinking of a current member or a banned member, maybe this post from her earlier in the thread gives the answer:
quote:
And then this thread comes about, and Spawn, Sasha and Ley Druid -- three of the four most retarded members of the board -- none of whom can let an opportunity go by without telling me how much they detest me, as if (a) I give a flying rat fuck or (b) they matter, decide to dogpile, reinforcing my belief that I AM in hell paying for all of my sins, as well as the sins of every other asshole on the planet. After all, I don't think even Hitler deserved to have them as part of his fan club. All it's missing is the King Retard and then I'll have the complete set.
...suggests to me it's someone current, thought I could be completely wrong.

Anyhoo.
The Organ is right. Erin implied it was someone current so we can forget about Merseymike and the J person.
My new guess - Kyralessa. Not sure why, maybe just because I like him. I actually think Chast might be right with Fr G but I hated to say it.

Hmmm...a dark horse enters the race. You know there could be something to that.
I'm sure it's not the new, improved Father G., though. He's been downright jolly since he came back from his vacation.
But, for better or worse, I'm still sticking with Lifeman. I'm not fickle.
