Lurker alert! I have secret information that we have an illustrious lurker in our midst. I'll not reveal identity of this person, but anybody who cannot guess is dull indeed.

What evil lurks in the hearts of men? The Shadow knows!

Rather than becoming a Pooh-Bah (such a male character!), I wonder if Jackie would prefer to be elevated to one of the women characters of The Mikado. Other than the elderly Katisha (not for Jackie, I don't think), how about Yum-Yum, Pitti-Sing or Peep-Bo? Ladies' choice, I believe!

I dunno. I'm not sure there's room for more than one Pooh-Bah on this here board. I still say if tsuwm is our Pooh-Bah, Jackie should become our Tiggah. And Max would probably make a good Eeyoah.

Can't see Jackie as a brainless, twittering schoolgirl a la Yum Yum ... Mikado perhaps ... no, IMPERATRIX
That's it!
Are you listening O Great and Much Loved Anu?

Don't know about Imperatrix...calls up visions of patent leather panties, push-up bras, fishnet stockings, handcuffs and those short whip thingings with the pieces of metal at the end of the strands of leather. Call me fuddy-duddy but that just doesn't sound like Jackie.

Comtesse would be so much more appropriate, don't you think?

Mind you, I don't think we really have a choice. The titles are pretty much assigned to specific numbers of posts rather that personality. If you look at tsuwm's picture you will see that he does not look like a pooh-bah. He is not fluffy enough.

You are probably right, belM, now that you mention it ... I was just trying to keep up with the Latin scholars ... Imperatrix = Empress
We will just trust Anu (Bless his name) --- anyone who could come up with Poo Bah for tsuwm has got to have something really amazing in mind for our sweet Jackie!
wow

Scribbler asked a question in another thread that I feel compelled to answer, about our dear Father Steve:
The Shepherd looks after the One as well as the Ninety and nine, but who, pray tell, checks on the Shepherd?

I do, sir, unfailingly so far. He is far too valuable a
parson-person (!) to be allowed to think that he has been forgotten about. Unless something has happened very recently, he himself is fine; just rather busy with two careers and family needs.

So--I am now a pooh-bah, but nowhere near the equivalent of Tsuwm, whom I really wish would 'fess up as to who Alex is.

All Hail the Pooh-bahs! tsuwm, the ultimate information resource, and Jackie the indispensible arbitrix elegantiarum and hostess with the mostest.

Gee, belM, you make that sound like a bad thing.

We have Poo Bahs Two -- all Hail the Poo Bahs!
Congratulations to Jackie (and to tsuwm too) on your elevation.
Singing and rejoicing is heard throughout AWADland.
Hurrah! Hurrah! Hurrah!
wow
