Spoon - I stand in awe by your flawless fredding. Truely, never before have I witnessed such magnificant display of beamz.
Axem -  I don't know what I'll do with my life now. Maybe I'll become a Nun, or take up Macrame. But where ever I go... I will remember you!
Axem - Sorry to post again when I said I was leaving for good, but something was nagging me. I don't want to say it in a way that shames the campaign but I think we can all agree it is actually.. incomplete. It is missing... Voice Acting.
Quanto - I for one would love to lend my beautiful singing voice into this wholesome project.
Nuclear1 - I want a duet.
AndrewofDoom - Make it a trio!

I'm fine with not insulting the Pope, as long as, when any other religious leader dies, be he a Muslim Cleric, A Sikh Priest or the Dalai Lama, after all, they are all merely icons of their faiths, they are treated in the same way. So if we are going to do this, then let's not have comments when a Muslim Cleric dies, simply because he promotes something you don't agree with (The Pope promoted the non-use of condoms - The reason I'm here and typing this ;) ), or jokes or other comments...

Let's have it one way or the other, either we can all be floorboards, being utterly politically correct, and having no character, or we can take punches to our faiths on the chin, knowing that what we believe can change other people more than other people can change what we believe ;)

throw in a couple of choir boys and some booze, and we have an instant success


seriously, though, it's an idea for them to considder. the cathies should be more on par with the times.
