thank you... I think
but you did say there was no need to thank you 
..The land of long-forgotten name:
......no man may ever anchor near;
..No steering star his hope may aim,
......for nether Night its marches drear,
..And waters wide no sail may tame,
......with shores encircled dark and sheer.
..O! Haven where my heart would be!
......the waves beat upon thy bar
..For ever echo endlessly,
......when longing leads thy thought afar

In the Elder Days when Middle-earth was only books and rumors of moving pictures had not yet been heard by any save a few brave adventurers to the land of the Net, strange and wonderful beings inhabited the boards of TORN. One of these was Bullroarer the EVIL Overlord, he of the spiky boots and Julie Andrews obsession. He was ably assisted in administering his reign of humor terror by several underlings only slightly less mythic than himself. One of the greatest of these was Aelric, Steward of TORN, keeper of the Good Morning threads, he of the Highest Post Count and chief flinger of the Pies of EVIL. Any post incurring the groans of the EO would be dealt with by a swift pie thrown with deadly accuracy. Each pie was unique and horrible. Legend whispers of such ingredients as moldy avocado, bird beaks and dirty engine oil, all combined with ingenuity and imagination to create the maximum "EWWW!" reponse from its victim. And so was order maintained for many a day in the Land of TORN.

Aelric is/was an old-time poster - he even predates *me*, which tells you something! He was known as the 'pie-man' for reasons I genuinely cannot recall other than his tendency to 'throw' 'pies' at people. I'm sure one of the other First Agers can tell you more.

I didn't have time to go into the forces of Chaotic Good which arrayed themselves against the EVIL hordes. Or, for that matter, to explain about bazookas, bagels, pop tarts, or cans of whale blubber. Or EVIL Quizzes. It was an EVIL Quiz which made me decide to read the Silmarillion, as I recall. I wish I had the time to put together and run an old-style quiz series. That would be fun.

That.
