I hereby rule that The Bilge shall be ever-more varnished apart from directly on top of the keel where the FILTHY water and drippy bits from the incumbent BROTM collects.
Not that there's been much in the way of filthy water this month. Even my faithful Minister of Dance, Tango with Dawgs, has been relatively restrained with issuance of filthy water, but he's yet to throw some decent shapes in his anointed ministry. PMJ has been AWOL in his position and I'm sure we would all call for his tenure as Minister for State of Engine Disassembly and Reassembly Prôn to be continued indefinitely. I for one miss his threads on the subject and if they were posted in The Bilge rather than B&R and away from the S&O jackboots then the Forum would be better for it. Do it Peter! Do it!
Speaking of S&O jackboots, that McMullet has barely posted down here at all, but he's contemplating a trip to sunny in the morning and raining in the afternoon Singapore. Even so, his Ministry has also been lacklustre so far, in that it, also, has been completely absent. Come on Jimbo! You know what we want!
Pless has continued well with The Ministry of Backup pr0n although, as I well know now I've dipped my toe into the world of Prøn, that it can be a thankless task. A few more gratuitous "Ooooos" and "Ahhhhs" to bump a pr0n/Prøn thread back up top would be welcome from the minions... Pretty please! On the subject of Prôn, however, Mr Ross has excelled and outdone himself. His magnificent thread is hereby anointed to continue as long as this Forum spits electrons across the vast ether of the Intertubes! It is decided!!
Chip's role in The MOCAATH (Ministry Of Catering And All Thing Fresh) served up a single tomato which has since vanished, subject the whim of the Great Sky Gnome (so identified by the wanderer, Dingo) who rules us all, and on all levels - and we utter his name in hushed tones - Scot, or just deleted by the Minister... Who nose? I'm expecting a banquet before month's end...
The Minister for Th'yartz has also been a bit threadbare, but he has posted a few videos, but I expect a flourish of curatorial activity as this term of BRØTM draws to a close... He's got to have something big planned. A blockbuster exhibition? A history of sculpture in the Roman Empire? Immanuel Kant and the Development Critical Theory? Something! Anything!!
Donn only served up a single offering in his position as Minister for the Development And Collection of Bilge Vernacular, although he did actually correct me once... When I appointed him.
Jim Mahan added a reasonable amount as Minister for Stuff. I felt it was reasonable. I did.
Thankfully I didn't drop off the twig and Katherine wasn't called upon to step into my average sized shoes.
David G and Norman have stepped into the void of constant political threads that a meagre presence of RonW and RodB (is he stilled banneded?) although they got a bit of competition from Geng', but even he's not on a rapid-fire setting any more. What's up with that?
Anyway, varnished it is...
Seems wrong... almost...
