2006-12-14 15:36:57 LID 523 07 55 —BrentLaabs
My new list of arbitrary honorifics:
- Captain Powers
- Chairman Laabs
- Baron von Ostrowski
- Viceroy Schwab
- Patriarch Shannon of Constantinople
- Squadron Leader Bleckman
- Countess Weinstein
- Premier Mikalonis
- General Rivera
- Michael Tucker, Lord of the Dance
- #1 Mock Senator Paul Harms
- Jedi Master Fricke
Because Paul thinks it's a great idea that certain people start giving each other completely arbitrary titles. Doubleplusgood!
2006-12-14 18:16:29 Oh the lengths some will go to to feel like a real pope —KrisFricke
The Mock Election proved who the real pope was. Sorry Kris, the people have more faith in Paul as Pope than you.
Yeah um, no, it proved he was the #1 mock senator. Anyway, it looks like Harms had settled the dispute regarding this page and I think it should stay that way. Also thanks for overrunning my editlock. —KrisFricke
2006-12-14 18:51:42 If I must be included in this list, lets go with the "Jedi Mind Tricks" appellation I seem to be stuck with. —KrisFricke
2006-12-14 19:05:32 In my defense, I actually was chairman of something. —BrentLaabs
