I take possession of the Really Big Blue Thing.

I am pointing the Really Big Blue Thing at King Felix.

I am pressing the button marked Energize, and supplying the anagram:

I change my Ackanomic name to "Rachel L Walmsley," minus the comma.

The other one sucked anyway.

(Not that "Pregnant Hippo" is much better.)

I submit as many of the following as I can, from the top down:

1. More than 10 ASS songs are rule-defined.

2. More than 7 Ackanomic players are named after internal organs.

3. No Ackanomic player is legally able to assume the name "JT".

Ha, pissed you off, didn't I? I already have one Agenda hat.

Date: Wed, 11 Aug 1999 10:02:10 -0400 (EDT)

Call for Judgement 726 - August 8, 1999
Subject: Too tired to worry about subjects
Initiator: Emperor AiPedrito!
Judge: Eggplant Tempura
Judgement: FALSE

Statement:
Proposal 4294 is Protected

Reasoning:
If the CFJ 725 is TRUE, then I see no reason to think that A German Dog is
correct in his reasoning that he can deny the wartime crisis declaration
from gaol.

Judge's Reasoning:
That's easy enough.  CFJ 725 is FALSE, and there you have it.

[ However, I agree with the rest of the initiator's reasoning, mostly just
because e's bigger than me and I'm scared. ]

Do I have to answer that?

I glare at TEFKAEric. I then decide that the aloof stare is not really
my style and fwap em instead. I mean, let's face it, it's been done
before, an we all know that it was my idea then as well. I mean, let's
face it, you've never had any good ideas of your own have you? You just
copy mine all the time, don't you? And you of all people should realise
just how tasteless an action this. Fortunately for you though, I'm a
forgiving type so all I'll do is fwap you again. 79584867 times.

You're right, it did, din't it?

Very true.

I change my name to "Quoth the Raven". I bury A$10 as a treasure that
will be found by whomsoever tells me why I chose this name other than
the inspiration of this .sig.

Quoth (lets face it, I couldn't stay with my 13th name for long could I,
it's unlucky).

Acked.  
Is it because there's something that you're going to do nevermore?
 perhaps: nevermore going to change your name
 nevermore going to vote positively
 nevermore going to fall in love
 nevermore going to macarena
 nevermore going to bury treasure
 nevermore going to send a public message (Great, I'll never find it)
 nevermore going to read Edgar Allan Poe
 nevermore going to marry your cousin
 nevermore going to die in the gutter of rabies.
 nevermore going to the Gulag.
 nevermore going to dance on the steps of town hall
 etc, etc.

It's because you're a Terry Pratchett Fan.
The raven Quoth, who does not do the 'N' word, is one of the bit players
in Soul Music.

This is correct and Slakko has found the treasure. The map was "This
treasure will be found by the first person to explain the motivation
behind the name Quoth the Raven". I figured that since there are a fair
few Pratchett fans here and from my sig it should be clear that I am one
of them, there was no point burying more as it would essentially be a
Hubert situation. :-)
