A very disturbing trend...

Post by Glaukos the Athenian »

I am concerned about the modification of otherwise well known names and avatars to Zombie-like versions (or avataras) of themselves...

It is not Hallowen and to my knowledge no new Zombie movie has come out.

Now don't make me get out my special Holy Rattan sword to kill the undead...

Could someone kindly explain who left the doors of the netherworld open?


Thank you,

Rowan of Needwood

I saw something in the OT section...
Westerners, we have forgotten our origins. We speak all the diverse languages of the country in turn. Indeed the man who was poor at home attains opulence here; he who had no more than a few deiners, finds himself master of a fourtune.

One time we were all "evil denizenz", lots of back story to that one.
Its just something to do, to be amusing.
Zombies will likely all be gone later today.

We planned it all out on the "Ultra Secret Hidden Forum" no need for alarm...

Nothing to see here...

Braaaaaiiiiinnnnzz....

Edit: BTW, the Ultra Secret Hidden Forum (trademark of the AA), never has, and does not exist... Not at all. Nope.

Evidently JT had no plans to zombie proof the Forums.

I blame that stupid game.

I must add that I find this ESPECIALLY disturbing in view of the season...

You know... Easter Friday, Spring, rebirth, return from the grave, Osiris, Tammuz, germination of the grain, fertility....

Yikes...

Hey Rowan, you know what the first thing Jesus said when he rose from the dead?

As a 1st Century Roman, I am personally offended by this line of jokes. You should have waited for me to start it. In that vein however, does anybody know the Latin translation for Christian? :twisted: :twisted: :twisted:

It has become painfully obvious that many archivers have WAYYYYYYYYYYYY too much time on their hands...
Whenever the legislators endeavor to take away and destroy the property of the people, or to reduce them to slavery under arbitrary power, they put themselves into a state of war with the people, who are thereupon absolved from any further obedience
