What hath Rath wrought?
I hate to admit how seriously I took this honor-- While I love (yes LOVE) just dozens of the wise, wacky, witty, witchy posters on this board, there were two folks that somehow always felt more real than "Virtual." When I first arrived at BWW and got the usual whirl of attention, positive and negative, Rath was one of those real folks who made life on this board so delightful. Hearing from her (on the board or through a PM) always brightened my day. She accused me of having a little crush (and I did) but more than that I think I want to BE Rath! She's funny, fearless, wise, all that crap-- but she don't take no crap! I always think of She & Margo as the Grande Dames of the board-- if they say "no" to somethign I post I'm devastated for a week! I had no idea Rath had been "away" from the board, but then I've been a bit away myself. I only knew that she had to be honored on this thread! I'm glad to see the swell of love and even gladder to hear her voice on this board again!
And what of our delightful Miss P? It was love at first sight! She broke onto the board reluctantly, unwilling to slide into the mud that is the OT board, but once in the pool, she made it seem like we had been wallowing in champagne! God, she's so funny and wise and kind and-- well, my natural cynicism prevents me from gushing any more. I was so delighted she singled me out for this honor and even happier that she had been honored herself. The board needs a lot more P! (And hey, wouldn't that be a great premise for a Urinetown sequal?) And Darling, we'll always have Wicked!
Thanks for a great day everyone!
So Rath, I hear you are going through some changes-- I know how that is. What inspired you?
