Dare I suggest... Jesus? Talk about starting a shitstorm. Unfortunately I don't really know any deities more obscure than the ones she has already mentioned, otherwise I'd be all over it.

Maybe I'll be starting up a shitstorm, but feel free to consult the GodChecker site.

For example, it says here that Min is the god of lettuce and sex. In that order apparently.

(Strangely, I have a feeling that Figgy may already know about GodChecker.)

I've had a great idea for some Israel and Palestine blends.

LOL. :twisted: I was going to say "Jehovah." Maybe it's the wine talking. :wink:

Too late. :oops:


TeaGuy's offer of bamboo charcoal was legit, and sincere, at least from where I'm standing.

The sincerity seems to fade a little everytime he makes a new offer and directs people to contact him via his blog which he uses to sell teaware.

Plus it is a bad precedent. If it is OK for him to do it, it should be OK for everyone.

BTW, I am selling some premo Winter vacation time shares for my TeaCave atop Mt. Fuji. PM me if interested.

I'm not going anywhere with snow. I've had enough of that!

It's snowing here again, I had hoped after Snowmaggedon 2008, we'd be done with that for the winter. AAARgh!

It is more of a perma frost ... :twisted:

OK, I have tried to be nice, more than once, perhaps this is a newbie who needs slapping?

Some people cannot be helped, something I rarely say, but said about MW AND CT.

Perhaps my suggestions are not strong enough. Okay then: let's leave this *BOO* and her thread alone. All we are doing is turning her into another problem; if we hadn't said anything, her thread would have died a slow death and faded into oblivion (page 2) like the rest. Please please please, can we just let lack of interest drive her away instead of trying to fix it ourselves?

[Edit: I in no way meant we should stop *BOO* about her here, I just meant in the stupid deity poll thread.]
Yeah that's why I withdrew my comment.
It probably would be dead already if it didn't irritate the hell out all of us.

Sometimes you don't know a problem child til it is already too late. Not every encounter is completely avoidable unless we simply never post. But this is a forum and about interaction. I doubt anyone here really wants to ever say another word to her.

Then there are the MWs out there that will keep going anyway. She is so much like her, it is scary.

She doesn't irritate me, but she amuses the hell out of me. People like her who try so hard to be odd (she worships Hekate, wtf?) yet are surprised when people don't respond well to them give me the giggles.

FYI, I have split the topic. I may hang at sunrise for it. :lol: I removed almost all posts but left all of hers.
