Title: Figurehead
Post by: Entsuropi on April 28, 2003, 05:47:14 AM: You know what we need? A figurehead. We need someone to serve as a distant point of reverence and whose name we can use as a curse.

Now, while Fellfrosch might seem to fit, he is too proactive. Figureheads should not be hands on. I have two suggestions.

a) Queen Elizabeth the 2nd. Not only is she distant, but she has lots of practice at the whole figure head thing. And she will never visit the forum, which ensures that she remains distant.

b) Dawn (El Presidentes wife). While she is not distant, at least not to the Utah chaps, we could ask fellfrosch to beg for her to intervene whenever there is a narky dispute regarding a decision. This is good. And she has never been on the forum for as long as i have been here (a frightningly long time now i think).

What say you?

Note: this also works for Jerry, Elizabeth II, and maybe even W.

Post by: Fellfrosch on April 28, 2003, 02:15:45 PM: Well, you can't have expected me to use the words "potty," "throne," and "stool" in the same sentence, right? I do have some sense of taste, you know.

But I've got too much going on to stop to be your figurehead anyway. Projects to finish, a new apartment to find, job stuff... way too much. ;)
