I can hear some groaning already.

Disrespect = death

But if you're very good, I may let you manage a few counties down your way. If you're very very good, I may allow you to be some sort of assistant for Secretary of Entertainment Mnemo.

You're a bit intrigued and you hate it, don't you?

But Gal55 is on the right track- groaning will be rampant, unless of course you're smart enough to adjust your expectations to something matching my special blend of silliness and narcissism, in which case you'll be prepared to just have a bit of fun with it.

So in other words, it will be a game "Which threads are now important?" or "Find a quote by the phantom"?

The past 3 years I've been bidding for your Director of the Sports & Gaming Division. I suppose this is a wing under the Entertainment Department and I'd give all the performance reports to Mnemo, if this was the case?

As one who has gone to see the live show of this (more than once), I adore the reference.

Ooo, those are some good ideas.... Perhaps sometime in the future.... But anyway, your ideas are very near the truth. Very near indeed!

Quite right, but I didn't realize you were keen to take on all sports. I figured you would find it more fun to be involved at a deeper level with a specific sport rather than manage the overall economics of a smattering of events. But I can shift plans. We still have, oh, maybe three years before the power shift.

Anyway, expect the thread to be started sometime during our mini-moot this weekend (the appropriately named Sally-Shasta-Phantom-maybeAutume-Moot).

Ooo, ooo, are are you going to do more of this? Or the name-pronouncing thing?

I predict that you will do one of those but not the other.

At this rate I predict that 50% of the active members will be couples in RL.
