Erintropy – the immutable laws which govern the running of the SOF Community Boards (which some paraphrase as: “The more you put into the Ship, the more you get out of it”)

Erindipity – ‘Shit happens’
.

The Pride of Erin – a ship of fools

Erindipity - when you fortunately chance upon the best website ever invented.

Erinaceous - just the right level of acidity needed for the best website ever to flourish.

People who are enjoying this thread might also be interested in reading this anti-tech-speak one, for we have all intermet Erin, even if we didn't meet her IRL.

At the time I thought it was too soon, but I was going to suggest at one point that the Organ Fund be temporarily renamed "Gator Aid."

No, but you do realize you have definitely shown your fluffy bunny side in public, soft autumn colors and all.

Erin (I assume it was her) had you by the short hairs when she made your avatar Strawberry Shortcake and the pink My Little Pony.

All this has led me to reread The Last Battle (no, really!).

Towards the end, I think I heard an exhortation from a gator.
