The Peng Challenge Remembers Jim Boggs [Archive]

Michael Dorosh

04-11-2005, 04:16 PM

I didn't like Boggs initially but he did make me think. I'll take challenge over slapstick any day. I dismissed him at first as a mere forum jester, but he proved himself to be more than that and certainly gained my respect. His posts outside the Challenge and PF were rare in the last months so I don't recall interacting all that terribly much with him; our last exchanges seem to me to have exceeded mere civility - his probably more than mine. I guess he saw his own mortality more clearly than the rest of us have reason to.

The only good thing to come out of this tragedy is the possibility that two more Pengers will be going to join him soon, these things happening in threes and all. I sincerely hope for your demise to be quick and merciful. Given his three month posting sabbatical, I fear that his may not have been.

Of course, it now being April, you buggers may have just squeaked outside the three month statute of limitations afforded by The Reaper.

Keep taking the heart medicine Emrys, one of these ordeals in a calendar year is more than enough. :mad:

Very early on he showed himself to be a man of shrewd judgement and quick intelligence by apprenticing himself to me. I was still proud of him on those few occasions when he turned his wit on me, his former mentor, since it was always clear that he was a gentleman acting without the petty vitriol that some members stoop to. I won't mention names here, but have faith that a day of reckoning is not far off.

He has, after all, been able to master that tricky SHIFT vs. CAPS LOCK conumdrum on several recent posts. I say good for him and perhaps his future posts will actually feature some content worthy of note.

Jim Boggs would have been proud of him ... in a "Oh look, the puppy nearly made it out the door before he went poo-poo." way, of course.

It's a little known fact that Michael actually USES the word poo-poo on a regular basis, granted he applies it to himself ... accompanied by an embarrassed giggle, but still ...

Well I have to say I didn’t know this Boggs character but I’ve been studying him in the way that seems most appropriate… by reading his posts to the One Thread (this despite some Pengless idiots rather lame-ass attempt to strangle me with a kind of pigeon) and I can conclude that they’re rather marvellous if often too short.

My rough survey also suggests that approximately 70% of all his posts mocked or belittled Seanachai in some way; this is a truly startling achievement and should shame us all for not doing more on that front.

However I thought I’d show you a simple little exchange between Boo & Boggs over some kind of Blood hamster challenge…

Boo; “We find this acceptable.”

NOTE: (that which is being acceptabled is some kind of challenge)

Boggs; “Excellent!

By the way, I have good news!

McDonald's is doing away with Super Size meals. Maybe by this time next year, you can refer to yourself in the singular!”

I'm reposting this from the end of the last thread. A friend of mine witnessed the humiliation of Papa Khann the other night and sig files WERE involved.

I was there and I saw the horror....

Across the table from me sat the walking collection of pustulent camel boils that is Papa Khan...only a scented candle and a strong stomach kept the contents of my dinner in my belly when his distinctive stench wafted my way. Seanachai had been drinking heavily all night, trying to blot out the sight of Papa Khan's hideous countenance by blurring his own vision.

In this time of darkness, Seanachai achieved a momentary connection with the divine. He rose up and smote Papa Khan a mighty blow (metaphorically speaking; he was far too drunk to stand). We were there and witnessed the glory. Sadly, there was more to come, but that is a lesson for another time. For now, let me just say:

"Seanachai is god's own prophet".

*tsk* What do you mean, "even for you."

Are you suggesting that I am using unfair judging criteria ... ion ... rules?

I STAND FOR THE CESSPOOL! And that means keeping the riff-raff OUT! And, let's be honest here, you just don't GET more riff-raff than CMPlayer ... unless you count Australians of course.

But I'm willing to be reasonable. I don't personally recall whether he is or isn't a Knight, but if he is then he certainly deserves to be so recognized ... no matter that his Liege Lord was a drunken sot on a BAD DAY ... no matter that it was better undone than done, the rules are the rules ... so ...

Do I have another besides Lars (who, after all, can be bought lock, stock and barrel for the price of a six pack) who will agree that CMPlayer has been a Knight of the CessPool?

You English speakers are just jealous that your language did not come up with something like that.

Bit like all these non-German speakers go all gooey-eyed about Tigers. 'Ohhh, look, now there's a tank'. Same way linguists go all bubbly about Donaudampfschiffahrtsgesellschaftskapitänspatentsa usgabestellenvorstandsassistentenschreibstubenhock er. 'Ohhh, look, now there's a word.'

AAR of a very troubled liege: A Messianic production

Sir 37mm the Peng blessed, disowned, tested, tolerated, mocked, belittled & forsaken Messiah of the Peng Challenge Thread, Leading light of the House of (sigh) JDMORSE (sigh) and owner of all the other titles & privileges bestowed upon his heavenly shoulders

Versus

Boo (Former liege to said Messiah)

Well after the last ridiculously huge blood bath we decided to play two smaller battles consecti… conseqtue… at the same time. This was the smaller of the two; a tiny allied assault in muddy conditions, I took the few German defenders.

Now I’ve played some one sided scenarios in my time but this was something special; to face off against a large force of Canadian tanks, vehicles, infantry & artillery I had under my command…

One Gun of some description
A few men of some description
An MG bunker
A Minefield containing one mine (and that’s probably a dud)

Still I did have the weather on my side… sigh

I deployed my scant forces around the objectives & decided to place the gun at the end of the main road.

Boo’s forces arrived onto the map; a platoon of Sherman’s along the road & I think a company of infantry in the scattered trees & vineyards beside that road.

http://img116.echo.cx/img116/2240/boo12rc.th.jpg (http://img116.echo.cx/my.php?image=boo12rc.jpg)

My bunkers and a few other MG’s began firing… nobody was hit, but the Canadians became pinned. Boo brought up one of his Sherman’s and began firing at the pillbox… I decided now was the time to strike!

http://img116.echo.cx/img116/2696/boo26tr.th.jpg (http://img116.echo.cx/my.php?image=boo26tr.jpg)

The Gun didn’t take long to score a blazing success.

http://img116.echo.cx/img116/5668/boo32mt.th.jpg (http://img116.echo.cx/my.php?image=boo32mt.jpg)

The remaining tanks began to panic & dropped smoke rounds all over the place. As the smoke dissipated my Gun engaged in duels with the Sherman’s and appeared to score another success.

Meanwhile MG’s continued to rip into the Canadian infantry.

However it didn’t take long for artillery to begin to fall around my gun. I’m pretty certain that it was the spotting round which knocked out the damned thing, Boo didn’t know this & continued to pummel the entire area for many turns (even retargeting a few times).

http://img116.echo.cx/img116/3994/boo66di.th.jpg (http://img116.echo.cx/my.php?image=boo66di.jpg)

Boo’s infantry played a deceitful little trick & dropped smoke shells infront of the MG bunker but it bought the Canadians only a few turns of peace.

http://img116.echo.cx/img116/9392/boo95yu.th.jpg (http://img116.echo.cx/my.php?image=boo95yu.jpg)

Well I fully expected Boo to come out with his last Sherman (it was quivering in a ditch at this point) & blow that bunker away however the first rule of playing CM is expect the unexpected…

Boo ignored the MG spitting lead into his men (as they continued struggling to advance) and began to make his way down the road.

Oh but his lone tank was no longer alone… a veritable horde of vehicles had also joined the battle (indeed initially thanks to fog of war they looked like other Sherman’s it soon became clear they were just MG carriers & the like).

Well Boo now proceeded to launch the most cautious advance in history, at one point I thought he was even ‘advancing to the rear’ (I knew Yankee’s often did such things around Canadians) but it turned out I was rewinding the movie.

It was incredible, truly breathtaking to watch indeed I watched & re-watched the action movies again & again just to make sure that what my eyes were telling me was actually happening.
I suppose it was inevitable really but the incredible pace of Boo’s attack was bound to put incalculable stress on the men.

http://img116.echo.cx/img116/2295/boo152qi.th.jpg (http://img116.echo.cx/my.php?image=boo152qi.jpg)

I told them before this had all begun…

“Stay down until you see the whites of their eyes lads!”
“Err Sir?”
“What is it Lad?”
“Err what if ‘they’ are a tank & we can’t see their eyes?”
“Do you expect me to repeat all of my orders Lad?”
“Err… no Sir!”

After 19 minutes of this relentless pressure it finally happened to a young Panzerfausterer.

“Oh for fecks sake why the feck aren’t they fecking getting any fecking closer I can’t fecking fire this thing if he’s all the fecking way over their?”
“But Franz they’re being cautious”
“Cautious! Cautious! He’s ****ting his pants at the very idea of MG bullets scratching the paint of his tank! I’ve had enough, I can’t stand it!”

The brave, foolish & now stark raving mad Panzerfausterer got out of his foxhole against my orders & levelled his deadly tube (calm down Emrys) towards the American vehicles (still well over 130m away) & fired.

His rocket smacked into the last Sherman & that was that.

http://img116.echo.cx/img116/8937/boo197sg.th.jpg (http://img116.echo.cx/my.php?image=boo197sg.jpg)

The enemy vehicles responded like a swarm of angry wasps, the sting of their bullets quickly slaying the brave Panzerfausterer but this blow must've pretty much disheartened Boo.

His rampaging advance slowed yet further (incredible) and five minutes of intensive MG fire later the battle thankfully ended.

http://img116.echo.cx/img116/5797/boo246yr.th.jpg (http://img116.echo.cx/my.php?image=boo246yr.jpg)

Song time
When routine bites hard, and ambitions are low
And resentment rides high, but emotions won't grow
And we're changing our ways, taking different roads
Then love, love will tear us apart again --

Why is the bedroom so cold? You've turned away on your side
Is my timing that flawed - our respect run so dry?
Yet there's still this appeal that we've kept through our liv
Love, love will tear us apart again --

You cry out in your sleep - all my failings expose
There's a taste in my mouth, as desperation takes hold
Just that something so good just can't function no more
When love, love will tear us apart again --
.....................
Rabbit,You are so Monty...

Hey, Moretoes, I know you're new here and all. Plus you're clearly an idjit.

However, I feel compelled to mentioned that if you want to relate a story which occurred at a specific point in time, you'll need to time stamp it using something other than Seanachai's propensity to lap up all the available alchohol at dalem's. (Be it Rum, Whiskey, rubbing, or some variety dalem produced accidentally while attempting to mix up a new batch of napalm.) Because that could mean pretty much any night.

And speaking of the Garden Gnone, where is he indeed? A bet is, after all, a bet. Surely the diminutive one is not planning to weasel out of his obligation...

After all, it's not like I'm going to serve my 25 days in the detention center alone. Nor do I intend to go without the comforts of home. No indeed. I need my prag! He has to earn me some currency.

So watchhoo gonna do Joe? raise me to my lofty (not to mention rightfully earned/deserved status) or will you surprise us all (yeah right) and introduce some back dated and hithertoo unmentioned pre-election legislature that somehow wiggles you free of neccessity to explain your actions re your obvious, nay blatant display of anti-Stukaism?

You naughty man.

Mace ... UNDERSTANDING?

You see my dilemma (not to be confused with a Pickled Emma ... no matter how much she should drink on any given night ... or Knight for that matter, but I digest).

Still, I LIKE you Stuka, in a manly, hug around the shoulders while carefully keeping anything resembling lower body contact completely out of the picture and slapping each other on the back to show affection ... or somefink kind of way. So I shall relent from my usual practice of needing signed affidavits from three non-Australians and just ... MAKE IT SO!

See there, the squeaky wheel thing DOES work ... unless you're from a goober nation of course.

Joe

EDIT TO ADD: Or at least I WILL make it so as soon as Comcast lets me into my webpage to make changes. I'll add it to my To Do list, you can count on me not to forget or delay one second more than necessary. I may be up all night trying time and time again to get on the site and update it properly ... or I may just go to bed now on the theory that it's just YOU anyway and who really gives a damn.

I decide to lower myself and take a look into the Cess on account of the memorial to Boggsy theme, and what do I find? Shoddy workmanship, that is what. I know that accurate records might be a bit too much to ask of a mortgage banker, but the glaring errors and omissions in Red Jo Xia’s site truly indicate how far he has slipped into his dotage. Among the many errors:

1. CMPlayer is indeed a kanigget in the House of Ruin. He was sponsored by none other than myself in a moment of weakness. What can I say, he made me laugh. Once.

2. Capt. WildMan, our valiant man in blue, serving his country, and protecting us from terrorist, or papercuts, or somefink. Another Ruined Knight.

3. Chuppacabra, and he may even be a Seniour moment Knight.

4. Jshandorf, of jdmorse linage.

5. The lawyer known as Lawyer.

Among the many errors:Marlow, what an unpleasant surprise. The site wasn't created for YOU but for those who are STILL constant to the vision that is the Peng Challenge Thread. You are NOT HERE, you are Absent, you are Gone, you are an ex-resident, you have, in short, gone to that great outerboard and haven't darkened our door lo these many months ... let's try to keep it that way.

1. CMPlayer is indeed a kanigget in the House of Ruin. He was sponsored by none other than myself in a moment of weakness. What can I say, he made me laugh. Once.Yes, yes, but he IS from a goober nation and that, in my view, is enough to exclude him. However, I shall take YOUR advocacy of his Knighthood as the second confirmation and, as soon as technically practical, I shall list him as such ... much good may it do him or the goober nation where he resides.

2. Capt. WildMan, our valiant man in blue, serving his country, and protecting us from terrorist, or papercuts, or somefink. Another Ruined Knight. On this I find you mistaken. Wildman was, most assuredly, a Squire, but he was MY squire when he disappeared ... unless I'm mistaken of course. In any event if he sprang from rune that's enough reason to disqualify him in my view and the view of all right thinking CessPudlians.

3. Chuppacabra, and he may even be a Seniour moment Knight.And yet we find the goatsucker NOWHERE. He hasn't graced this greatest of all threads for YEARS! Shall I scribe the name of every neer-do-well who showed up NOW AND THEN ... like, for example, yourself?

4. Jshandorf, of jdmorse linage.See above.

5. The lawyer known as Lawyer.And yet Lawyer has made it ABUNDANTLY clear that he will no longer tread our soggy halls ... a course of action one might press on YOU as a reasonable alternative to griping and whining about those NOT shown when attendance to this the Mutha Beautiful Thread would have provided you with the plea from the Justicariate of the Peng Challenge Thread to correct errors and provide photos of the missing. Said plea was not read by you since you ... WERE NOT HERE!

A day late and a dollar short Marlow ... as usual.

Don’t make me have to straighten you out again Jo. Bah, you found the wit somewhere to stumble back in here ONCE ... I doubt that you'll be sober enough to find it again.

The preceding excruciatingly compound and incorrect sentence was brought to you by the Justicariate of the Peng Challenge Thread, working for you so you don't have to.

Lads, Ladies, and all:

I have but just returned from Rome, where I was flown on a private jet for a meeting with the Conclave before they convene on Monday. There was some concerns about my candidacy given that I am not, currently, a Cardinal of the Church. This difficulty was overcome in a secret session on Wednesday, when I was elevated to the post in order to clear the way for my almost inevitable elevation to the Papacy.

I also met with many Church leaders in order to garner their support for suppressing the false and heretical bid for the Papacy by the loathsome toad, Dalem.

Now, on to the important stuff.

Jim Boggs was a good man, a great man, and a damn fine 'Pooler. I first met Boggs on the Outerboard, and my first impression was 'damn, I think I'll invite this sucker over to the Peng Challenge Thread. You remember that, Joe, don't you? You remember shrieking like a fishwife about 'Seanachai's recruiting again!'?

Well, I was right. Boggs came over to the Cesspool, and he was a fine addition. He was humourous, but not vulgar. He was a gentle soul, and I remember him remonstrating with me on the GF when I...um...sometimes got a bit above myself. He was well-spoken, and many a time on the General Forum, when things became too heated, he was there with a joke and a good word for all.

He has been missed, and we will continue to miss him. But at least we got the chance to know him, even if it was simply by way of this silly Forum.

As I was being driven in a limo from the Rome airport to the Vatican, I was reminiscing about him with several Cardinals. A number of them asked me for the URL to the Forum so they could check out the words of 'Signor Boggs' for themselves.

I will be adding his name to the candidates for Sainthood upon my Assumption.

I will miss him.

A jolly singsong to his memory:

I had a friend, a friend I could trust
He went into the park and got busted
Doing the ring-a-round-a-rosy rag
Went in the park late at night
And he put a lot of people over eighty up tight
He was doing the ring-a-round-a-rosy rag

Ring around, ring around rose
Touch your nose and blow your toes and mind
Doing the ring-around-a-rosy rag
(It really was a drag)
Ring around, ring-around-a-rose
Touch your nose and blow your toes and mind
Doing the ring-around-a-rosy rag

We ought to send Officer Joe Strange
To some Australian mountain range
So we all can do the ring-around-a-rosy rag
Would you like to put Philidelphia up tight
One mass ring-around-a-rosy
In the middle of the night?
We all should do the ring-around-a-rosy rag

Ring-around-a-rosy Rag
-Arlo Guthrie

I do not, in fact, remember making Papa Khann a Seniour Knight. On the other hand, I do not remember not making him a Seniour Knight, so he should be regarded as now being a Seniour Knight.

Oh, and SturmSebber is a Knight.

"Studies show that if a cat falls off the seventh floor of a building it has about thirty percent less chance of surviving than a cat that falls off the twentieth floor. It supposedly takes about eight floors for the cat to realise what is occuring, relax and correct itself. At about that height it hits maximum speed and when it hits the ground it's rib cage absorbs most of the impact. So throw your cat off a building today!"

Spiral staircases in medieval castles are running clockwise. This is because all knights used to be right-handed. When the intruding army would climb the stairs they would not be able to use their right hand which was holding the sword because of the difficulties in climbing the stairs. Left-handed knights would have had no troubles except left-handed people could never become knights because it was assumed that they were descendants of the devil.

[/QUOTE]Seanachai it has NOTHING to do with the claimant ... claimee ... person at question. I have nothing against Stormsewer... well, he's from a goober nation but so is CM Player and HE'S a Knight.

No it's about the process, the procedure, the TRADITION of the thing. For see you Seanachai when Boo Radley, Lars and so many others have had to tread the path from SSN to Serf to Squire BEFORE reaching Nirvana ... the Knighthood of the CessPool ... then surely it is RIGHT AND PROPER that ALL should follow the same path. Well ... not US of course, we got Knighthood because we DESERVED it.

I've no objection at all to the lad being made Serf of the CessPool and, after a reasonable amount of time to judge the quality of his bribes ... uh, of his posts, he can be taken to Squire and will progress from there ... or not progress, given the quality of instruction I've seen recently from most of the latch-key Lieges around here.

But it is and has always been YOUR decision and that of the Olde Ones met in conclave. The Justicariate of the Peng Challenge Thread has always followed your lead ... weaving, falling and distracted by bright colors though it frequently appears.

It is not easy, you know, to be the conscience of the CessPool. It's not easy to remember and without partiality enforce the many rules, most of them either unwritten or made up on the spot. Must I be the bad guy all the time, must I be the ritalin to the ADHD impulses of the Olde Ones? I shall have to think on this, a change may be overdue.

As my good buddy, Latex P. Catsup told me in a personal email just today, I needn't hassle with the cost of OEM software when I can download it for a massively discounted price. Words to be considered my friends.

While I may risk appearing stupid for asking, I figure it's better to check the rules than barge ahead and end up with egg on my face, don't you think? So who is it to whom I should put my delicate question?

sincerely,

CMplayer You want to know if it would be all right for you to continue to wear women's underwear...hey its fine with me..no problem....you should probably ask the rest of tha lads....I'm sure they will be as fine with it as I am.

Don't know about the Ladies though, they might get jealous.

Right then, I'll beseech the Olde One. Now that I'm a knight, may I throttle my ex-liege and cannibalize him? The bastard was a slave driver. I'll offer the best bits in tribute. Is that the done thing?

No it's about the process, the procedure, the TRADITION of the thing. For see you Seanachai when Boo Radley, Lars and so many others have had to tread the path from SSN to Serf to Squire BEFORE reaching Nirvana ... the Knighthood of the CessPool ... then surely it is RIGHT AND PROPER that ALL should follow the same path. Well ... not US of course, we got Knighthood because we DESERVED it.

I've no objection at all to the lad being made Serf of the CessPool and, after a reasonable amount of time to judge the quality of his bribes ... uh, of his posts, he can be taken to Squire and will progress from there ... or not progress, given the quality of instruction I've seen recently from most of the latch-key Lieges around here.

But it is and has always been YOUR decision and that of the Olde Ones met in conclave. The Justicariate of the Peng Challenge Thread has always followed your lead ... weaving, falling and distracted by bright colors though it frequently appears.

It is not easy, you know, to be the conscience of the CessPool. It's not easy to remember and without partiality enforce the many rules, most of them either unwritten or made up on the spot. Must I be the bad guy all the time, must I be the ritalin to the ADHD impulses of the Olde Ones? I shall have to think on this, a change may be overdue.

As my good buddy, Latex P. Catsup told me in a personal email just today, I needn't hassle with the cost of OEM software when I can download it for a massively discounted price. Words to be considered my friends.

Joe (Drums fingers on edge of bar, performing a complicated back beat, with a perfectly executed paradiddle, ending with a rimshot...)
As you all know, The Justiciar and I have had some differences in the past. We didn't always see eye-to-eye on some things. Many times it was more like tooth and claw, but as a former Assistant Deputy Pro Tempore Justicar of the Peng Challenge Thread, on this issue, I must stand with Joe.
I have nothing against Stormcellar. I'm sure that he's a wonderful person with a winsome smile below touseled hair, but I think just bestowing Kaniggethood on him without having his mettle tested does not only a disservice to the odd, yet unremarkable traditions of the MBT, but also a disservice to Sturm-und-drang.
Without the tempering that comes with the various ranks, he will have no base, no core from which to draw the needed strength for when the time comes that HE desires to raise a poor, drippy, hygenically-challenged Serf up as his own Squire.
Before you can teach, you must learn.
So, as the most senior Knight present of the House of jdmorse, I say let the lad earn his stripes.

Boo Radley I take back a quarter of the bad things I said about you ... the least quarter but still a whole quarter. I also renounce my previous statement about your "service" as Junior Justicar Pro Tempore De Jure of the Peng Challenge Thread in which I characterized it as ... "Et Tu Boo?"

I also think the lad should earn his stripes, the only question is how many stripes and for that we need look no further than the Old Testament, specifically Deuteronomy 25:3 in which we are given the guidance: Forty stripes he may give him, and not exceed: lest, if he should exceed, and beat him above these with many stripes, then thy brother should seem vile unto thee.Pity that it has to be limited so but we shall just have to make everyone count won't we! I mean I wouldn't want to be "vile" because I miscounted ... mind you I don't much cotton to being called Stormsewer's brother but I think it's one of those allegorical things ... maybe a parable ... somefink.

Hmmm, you know they don't specify what kind of whip we are to use so I see no reason why a Cat-o-nine can't serve our function. Nine times forty ... yes, that might serve us well.

Are you dolts proposing that Sturmy be stripped of the Knighthood he was given by Royal Decree, and approved by the recently departed Sir Jim Boggs? I move to have the Justicar declared unfit to fulfill his duties on grounds of insanity and permanently replaced with Moraine Sedai. If he manages to prove that he is actually sane (not likely, but considered for completeness), the bugger should be put on trial for treason.

I Queen YK2 do hereby declare that the loyal and brave SSN v42below and the Loyal and Heroic VSSN Sturmsebber (both bolded out of respect)are to be recognised as Knights Of The Pool..

There will be no neccessity for these brave Knights to go through the usual Formal ritual as laid down in the sacrilegious scripture held by the Justicar General ..

It should also be noted that the stonemason is busy at this very moment amending paragraphs 107a-109b "Proceedure of Elevation To Knighthood" where it will now read...

*Unless waved by Queen YK2 * after each rule...

Waves all the rules

I trust everyone including the Justicar will have no quarrel with this decision, and receive both these Loyal Knights in the way we of the one true MBT have done so in the past...

Let the merriment begin...

Come now V42below, anyone with at least half a brain (not to fret lad, you were given a waiver since you live in Australia) will note that the Late Sir Jim Boggs (may his AP always penetrate and his HE always detonate) was shouting huzzah not at the elevation of some SSNs to Knighthood but rather to THIS statement: *Passes around the Lagavulin, beer, and wine*It was much the same reaction that I got when I announced a trial ... with Stenographers.

But this is the sort of constant abuse and hectoring I get ... not that I understand what the siege of Troy has to do with it.

I tell you lads you'll be sorry indeed when you lose the firm, guiding hand of your Justicar and are forced to put up with weak willed, lily livered,yellow stripe down the back, please the crowd with more bread and circus Justicar ... iate ... ness, stuff.

THEN you'll be sorry. THEN you'll cry out, "Oh where, oh where is our OLD Justicar," you'll cry, "We want our OLD Justicar back." But one day he won't be there ...

Joe

p.s. You'll also note, if you look carefully, that Dame YK2 did not "Waive" requirements as she doubtless intended, but rather "Waved" them ... then note what Sir Jim Boggs wrote ... that lad was clever, funny and I'll give him the ultimate Southern compliment ... he was a Good Ole Boy.

[clears throat]

Ahem...

[collapses into a coughing fit, hoicks up a gigantic floogie and spits]

Ahem...as I was about to say...I would like to proffer a solution to the Sturmsebber [spelt but not bolded] problem. I think this will dovetail neatly with the Divine Guidance Joe, acting in the Office of Justicar, discovered in the text of Deuteronomy. And that is that instead of aforesaid Sturmsebber [spelt, etc.] being made a Knight of the Pool, he be named Permanent and Official Whipping Boy. There is every reason to believe that this should prove mutually satisfactory for all parties involved.

Sturmsebber [spbnb], because he is so desperately hungry for any form of attention that he would submit to torture and indignity a thousand times over just to be noticed and raised from the totality of his insignificance.

And as for the rest of the Pool, well, everyone needs someone they can feel superior to, and I can think of no one else who is so perfectly equipped to fulfill that role for an entire community.

Furthermore, and even more vital, every political body must have an object of blame. As is well known, the first instinct of every bureaucracy is to find a fall guy...er, guilty party, on whom to attach responsibility for failure when the system upchucks, as it frequently does. That the object of collective contempt may have had no powers whatsoever to avert said departure from copacecity...er, copacicity...er, good times, is entirely irrelevant. This is well known. All that matters is that some hapless figure be made to suffer as the repository of all the unhappiness of the community. In this way, he or she functions in much the same way as the garbage collector. It's a nasty job, but someone has to do it and better you than me. Much better you than me.

In summation then, I see this as the perfect solution to our current dilemma resulting in the gratification of all parties.

Now where did I leave my thumbscrews...
