Should we all add 'Provost' before our names? Get a bigger avatar today!

I like Provost Harrington...umm, Hardingson...ahh hmm. Anyway, I remember him so very well, friendly sort, certainly the best of the Brits. Granted, that in itself is hardly a recomendation... However he was a pleasure to have around. He's gotten in some sort of trouble w/ the top brass around here, though I honestly don't know the particulars and don't care to have them discussed here, besides it would get this thread shut in a heartbeat as a dire threat to something or other. Just thought if enough people added 'Provost' to their names he might get pissed off and come back to tell us to quit it. Or perhaps take it as a sign of our unrelieved affections.

Provost Harrison, that's it.

'Provost Lancer', hmmm. Hmmm. *quietly debates*

In a nutshell....

Giancarlo threw a fussy f*ck, people chastised him, PH made a hoke about him choking on semen, Giancarlo advocated firing on pride parades, Giancarlo was banned for a week, PH a fortnight.
Battle rages, Infat and I complain (with others), Infat gets banned, I almost do.

I'm not allowed to say any more though, Provost Mobius

Well, a few jokes were made about his sexual orientation and PH was banned 'as an example'. And if I personally say anything bad towards another poster I get banned (So I currently love everyone).

Guys, this thread will be closed just like the one in the Apolyton forum. Certainly your discussion has tended towards the reasons behind the banning, and that is very dangerous, siditious, and uncaring of the sensibilities of he who spanks our fun w/ both hands. The Commitee For Public Safety will certainly decend upon this unlawful gathering and demand to know WHO ATE THE STRAWBERRIES!?!?

So umm, be nice and remember the fallen, whom we shall never forget, Provost Harribald.
