Vital Vote! PLEASE VOTE....

[Chancellor Valium]

Okay. Questions that have come up in making bishops.
1) Women Bishops? Up to you.
2) Should there be four or five bishops and the archbishop (me)? Again, Up to you.
Please vote. It's important

[Chancellor Valium]

I have cast my vote, and will accept any result as what is wanted.Remember: IT'S UP TO YOU! :D

[Alexia]

I think I've lost the plot...Bishops for what?

[Gatac]

Just nod and smile, Alexia, nod and smile...*g*

Seriously, though, the other thread doesn't really explain where this comes from. What's it about?

Gatac

[Ginga]

I think they should all be women. :twisted: We could assimilate the forums. I'm going to smile, nod, and assume this is forum related...

[Zeke]

Let's see. Orgy with four women... orgy with five women... or orgy with not just women? Boy, that's a tough one.

[Chancellor Valium]

this is to do with the "bishops required, apply within" thread....

[Alexia]

:roll: ...which doesn't really explain why either :wink:

*Smiles & nods*

I'm thinking its probably not to do with orgys though Zeke :wink: Or should that be Orgies...it's not a word I type that ofter :wink: :mrgreen:

[Chancellor Valium]

Basically, I made myself Archbishop of Fiverbury for Zeke's coronation, and was about to make requests for bishops, when Sa'ar threatened a schism on women bishops. So I called a vote on that and how many bishops there should be....all clear now?

[Alexia]

...as mud :wink:

[Scooter]

But what about monsignors? We need at least one monsignor. And a couple of deacons.

Personally, I want to be a cardinal. I want one of the red hats they wore in medieval times, with the tassles around the sides (as in The Name of the Rose).

[Chancellor Valium]

This is based on Anglicanism. No cardinals in anglicanism. And we're working from the top downwards.....and I was planning some monsignors [obscure quote] and an evil subdeacon [/obscure quote]

[Sa'ar Chasm]

This is based on Anglicanism.

Hence the Opposable-Thumbed Primate.

[Chancellor Valium]

exactly!

[Nan]

Shouldn't that be Ape?

[Chancellor Valium]

umm...the head of the Anglican Union is the Primate of all England....Interestingly, in a hymn, Christ is called "O loving Pelican"....I personally don't understand, but I go along with it...

[PointyHairedJedi]

Oooh, I vote for the Pelican!

[Chancellor Valium]

Look, I know it's difficult to believe I'm not the Messiah (:P) but the Second Coming hasn't happened yet!

[PointyHairedJedi]

Look, I know it's difficult to believe I'm not the Messiah (:P)
...Nah, too easy.

:wink:

[Sa'ar Chasm]

...but the Second Coming hasn't happened yet!

...nah, too far past the PG-13 line.

[Chancellor Valium]

Swiner jedi *stops impersonating Clueso* Very droll.

[Nic Corelli]

Bishops? Of Fiverdom?

...

...

...

What ON EARTH are you talking about?



I meant to say "what for heaven`s sake?", but I believe the number of religious references is already way over the top, for a Science Fiction Parody website.

[Chancellor Valium]

fair enough....

[Zeke]

You have a point, Nic. If nothing else, this thread should definitely be in Misc.

(moves it)

[Nan]

...but the Second Coming hasn't happened yet!

...nah, too far past the PG-13 line.

That just about qualifies as a forum ickiness sharpie. ;)

But not quite. :mrgreen:

[Chancellor Valium]

At risk of sounding an idiot, I DIDNT UNDERSTAND SA'AR's comment or the later ones!

[Ginga]

At risk of sounding an idiot, I DIDNT UNDERSTAND SA'AR's comment or the later ones!

*snort* I think I did... :lol:

[Sa'ar Chasm]

I DIDNT UNDERSTAND SA'AR's comment

Set your mind on "dirty".

[Scooter]

I DIDNT UNDERSTAND SA'AR's comment

Set your mind on "dirty".

I would but my dial-a-brain is already stuck there. :)

[Nan]

Heh heh heh... :D

[Chancellor Valium]

oh dear. I kinda suspected that was the joke. But nonetheless oh dear. That was truly dreadful. btw, has any1 played ST: the 25th Anniversary game? If so, how do you defeat the last level?
Oh, and I think we need an archbishop of Bork, to violently disagree with Fiverbury. Five marks for anyone who understands the references....

[Sa'ar Chasm]

That was truly dreadful. btw,

*bows* Thank you.

[Chancellor Valium]

Say, Sa'ar, fancy being Archbishop of Bork?

[Sa'ar Chasm]

Ønly if Hji cån tålk ljike this ånd preside øver der ørgies.

Børk børk børk!

[Chancellor Valium]

You just have to pass the last test now.
Two questions:
1) Where do the archbishoprics of bork and fiverbury refer to in the Anglican Union?
2) how do you do the nordic accents like that?

[Nan]

Tøp secret stuff.

[Sa'ar Chasm]

1) Where do the archbishoprics of bork and fiverbury refer to in the Anglican Union?

York and Canterbury.

2) how do you do the nordic accents like that?[/quote]

Archbishopric secret, passed down from the times of the Danelaw.

[Chancellor Valium]

N.B. --- Do not attempt to answer more than one question at a time

[Zeke]

A classic. But this....

(Be careeful.)

....strikes me as deeply ironic. ;)

[Chancellor Valium]

ahh, the wonders of editing....considering that was a rush typing, the lack of mistakes is surprising.....

[Sa'ar Chasm]

N.B. --- Do not attempt to answer more than one question at a time

3. Which came first, A.D. or B.C. ? (Be careful.)

The chicken.

[Alexia]

Of course it's the chicken.

[Nan]

There is no chicken.

[Xeroc]

You're all abuncha chickens!

[Nan]

Chicken is as chicken does.

(This has turned into Word Association.)

[Alexia]

There is no chicken.

Really? I thought there was no spoon? :wink:

[Nan]

Which makes eating chicken soup that much more difficult. Being as there is neither chicken, nor spoon. Ergo, no chicken soup.

Indeed. <nods sagely>

[Chancellor Valium]

Or should you nod thymely? or rosemarily? or just herbily?

[Nan]

Can't just let the joke lie, can ya? ;P

[Chancellor Valium]

nope :D
