The temple is a difficult spot to approach. It is prone to acne due to the boundary between the hair and the skin, contact with eyeglasses, and the tendency for many to brush their hair behind their ears.

For best results, moisten the area and drop a lighted match into a coke bottle. As you apply the opening of the bottle around the blemish, the match will consume oxygen creating suction.
 
Posted by Dead_Horse (Member # 3027) on :
 
LOL! Creating a wonderful little round red hickey which will distract any observer from any acne that may be present.

*Looks around and sees everyone with red spots.*

Pulling a suction dart off quickly will produce the same result.

::rushes in, then stomps foot:: Darn it! Of course, I missed it!

::bows to AK, then goes in the back to change into her acolyte robes::

::comes out and sits by AK, awaiting to do her every bidding::

These balloons good enough?

American Gothic? Suweeet!

*spends all evening deflating red balloons and taking down colored crepe paper*

Or should we go with a gothic theme?

Walks in.

Remembers the time that aka accidentally found a flyer for a program that distributes books to needy schools that was intended to solicit corporate donations from a bank, and without a second thought, went out and purchased a big box of books, delivering them to the school with a smile and good wishes.

Thinks back to the asteroid threads.

Remembers all the smiling welcomes that always came from the bell tower...

Notices about three weeks worth of dust on the rectory... Looks around and sees a spidery crack in one of the windows...

Notes the absence of anybody else, and the harsh shafts of sunlight coming in without any ethereal glow to balance them out.

Curious...

Reads the other thread.

Reads it again in disbelief...

Remembers all that has happened in the last seven years, since the day he first signed up for the silly Battle School forum, through the heady days of P-web development, graduation from high school, and final separation from obsession with OSC, wherin he always lurked, though rarely posted, and always, this temple had been a place of peace and friendliness....

[Cry] [Frown] [Cry]

Slowly, and with a heavy heart...

walks away...

Maybe someday, this temple will open up again. I promise that if it ever does, I'll bring the marshmallow squares.

*reads the post just before*
*runs to the other thread*
*is relieved nothing horrible happened to dear Anne Kate*
Maybe we should keep this place clean and confortable, and use it for all those who found her inspiring.
I was so proud and happy to be her acolyte... [Cry]
