Wheee, look, we filled up the first thread!!!

If you're finding you can't post here, it's because that force-wall automatically popped up when the Alehouse did the transporter-twinning thing. (Don't worry, everyone ... it's the evil Alehouse that's slowly sinking into the swamp! The good one is right here where I've re-stickied it.)

The automatic splitting process is new, so I don't know for sure, but I was given to understand that when the new thread started, the Christians-Only block would be back. I've emailed Erwin to ask him to take the force-wall back down.

 

[pmcleanj]

Oh, yes!

Somebody fetch a pint of WD40 for ChrisBot! Since he's here...

 

[PaladinValer]

Someone quickly archieve the contense of the first Alehouse thread! It'd be great to hold onto!

 

[AveMaria]

And I'm sure this incarnation will be even better!

Anyone up for a round of Anglican jokes? I'll start:

Three members of the clergy met up for coffee and one began to complain about the terrible infestation of bats in his church belfry. It quickly became apparent that his colleagues were experiencing similar problems. After some more theological discussion, they finished their lattes and went home.

A week later, they met up again. The Methodist admitted, "I tried getting rid of them - I ever called an exterminator! But they came back!".

The Presbyterian confessed he had gone up into the belltower with a baseball bat, stunned all the bats and tossed them into a cardboard box, then released them in the countryside...but overnight, the bats returned.

The Episcopal priest smiled smugly. "I baptized and confirmed each bat, and I haven't seen a single one since!"

Erng, I hate to come out of the closet , but ever since then, the Holy Spirit did a number on me and wrenched me into the family of God. Can't really say I'm a non-believer anymore, not this time when Christ has freed me from the bondage of sin and I'm no longer fighting the adoption as a child of God. (However, I do still have this bad habit of couching all things religious in religious language )

Now's the time to convince me to become an Anglican (Episcopalian over here in the US, I suppose), hee hee! (This time, I'm not insisting on being a Baptist. When compared to the grace and mercy of Christ, denominations just seem so small right now.)

One pint of WD40 for ChrisBot, coming right up...

Methinks one should unsticky the first Alehouse threasd so that we don't end up with 100 stick threads on the top of the page.

 

[benedictine]

I stickied it for archival purposes.

 

[AveMaria]

Benedictine, I see you've had a bit of a make-over. . .

Welcome to the family!

your brother in Christ, Freak4JC

 

[scraparcs]

Now all I've got to do is make sure I don't get mixed up in the family fights.

 

[AveMaria]

Just watch out for the flypaper and you'll be fine!

 

[Andy Broadley]

I agree with HRH Paladin, the first alehouse must be preserved for posterity, and to remind Paladin where all the bodies are buried.

Theres just too much good stuff in there to lose.

 

[AveMaria]

Morning, y'all!

Just how many bodies were there, anyway?

 

[PaladinValer]

I reconstituted them

HALLELUJAH!!!!!

Welcome to the Family!!!!!

Get that Christian symbol up....

 

[pmcleanj]

And with a crackling swooshing noise, once again, the force-wall goes down!
Welcome all non-Christian visitors (with the warning, of course, that hanging around the Alehouse can apparently be hazardous to your non-ness)! I recommend the Big Rock Traditional Ale, or the #10 Downing Street Blend Oolong Tea if you're not an Ale drinker at whatever hour this is where you are, or the WD40 if you're a robot.

Drinks are on the house for Lel! (will we get to be your virtual god-mamas and god-papas?)

 

[AveMaria]

*s* Yay for Godmothers and Godfathers, virtual or otherwise.
