How about a new rank of "Honorary Boy." It would, of course, be one of extremely high and exulted status. I've only ever heard of one extremely special girl ever reaching such dizzying heights.

[Eldorion]

I could add that as a custom rank but frankly I'm not sure I want to make your boy-girl rivalry official.

[odo banks]

I'm trying to make the girls feel included, that's all. And though we raise the bar high, aren't we giving other girls something to aspire to? Ally has done it, so it might be possible for others to rise high too, don't you think? Mind you, finding other girls who like The Beatles and Syd Barret - as well as Ally's other meritorious likings - as well as having the grace to say nice things about ME, might be a big ask! Nonetheless, we should at least pay them the respect of letting them have a go at it, don't you think? (I hope you're not one of those closed-mind Sexists I've heard tell of, Eldo!? )

If you might be so kind, Lord Eldorion, as to add Mother Superior, Our Lady of the Anklelength Frock, beneath my photograph. I would be Eternally grateful if you did.

[Eldorion]

Odo - maybe we should see what some of the girls and women on the forum actually think.

Jane - no problem.

[Baingil]

Only if Odo is made an Honorary Girl.

[odo banks]

How predictable!

[Kafria]

And also unlikely to be attained - Odo is too much of a bloke! (not necessarily a good thing you know! )

EDIT
I had gone elsewhere to read serious news, but couldn't resist popping back to post this link of typically silly bloke behaviour

How on earth are boys ever to become men if they are not given the opportunity to survive their own stupidity? Kafria! You'll make us all thoughtful New Age types yet, the way you're going!

Because if they are to become men, they won't have been stupid in the first place!!!

[odo banks]

Squatch, I concede that a male could feasibly become a mature adult without surviving their own stupidity, but I am a strong and firm believer in tradition, and I shan't be budged on this.


(Btw I can see you'll never to acceptable at Our Lady. Modernist! )

[Eldorion]

I have to agree with Odo on this one. If you're male, you didn't have a childhood if you didn't get hurt while doing stupid things (and you didn't have much of a childhood if you stopped being stupid after that!).

[odo banks]

And I'm sure you are living proof of this, dear Eldo. Good lad!

[Eldorion]

Of course, although I've been pretty lucky in terms of the severity of my injuries.

[odo banks]

And, of course, you display a wonderful array of other youthful stupidities. That goes without saying. Everyone in Forumshire are aware of you, dear boy. Here to help!

[Eldorion]

Thanks for the ego-boost.

[odo banks]

It's a pleasure. I am quite fond of you, you know!

[Squach]

The stupidity of boys depends if they will become men or Random Males

[odo banks]

As usual - what?

[Eldorion]

I have to admit that I'm also curious about the supposed distinction between men and "random males".

[Squach]

Curiosity killed the cat, you know.

I hope you like my homemade avatar!
I got loads of pictures and put them on paint, and then coloured in the background with the brush thing.

[Squach]

P.S, I am changing my avatar to a much cooler one!

Argh! Noooo
