Palindrum: n. any action by which someone suddenly and inexplicably quits their job and even more inexplicably becomes more popular: Lou Dobbs' palindrum unexpectedly sent the ratings for his time slot to a level not before seen on cable TV.

P.S. If you're the "Token Non-Orthodox Poster", what am I? chopped liver? Well, Keble is the "Arch Protestant," so that's out. Maybe you can be the "Promoter of Reasoned Discussion," to borrow from your signature  |

Italy got through, who cares about the rest.  I have to admit, England will be interesting to watch in the World Cup with Capello at the helm now. "A British tar is a soaring soul As free as a mountain bird!" |

P.S. If you're the "Token Non-Orthodox Poster", what am I? chopped liver? Well, Keble is the "Arch Protestant," so that's out. Maybe you can be the "Promoter of Reasoned Discussion," to borrow from your signature I suppose. But does it have *zing*?  |

It has a certain soberness to it, without being stodgy. But admittedly it's not as eye catching as, say, "resident atheist" or "arch protestant". |

We wouldn't want to have candidates and elections on this forum <insert whistling smiley here>. If so, I guess it would be the Moderators and Admins who would be the committee... You already have my vote. |

Come on, that's not the American way. Just look at the way Americans have screwed up reinvented the martial arts, with all sorts of people creating their own styles and declaring themselves super duper 10th dan supreme grand masters. Just declare yourself dean, and ignore the naysayers!  |

Titles higher than archon are worth between 1/1000 and 1/10 of a cent, depending on the title and the amount of dividends you've re-invested. |
