Hail, Discordia!

"It is not the literal past that rules us, save, possibly, in a biological sense. It is images of the past. Each new historical era mirrors itself in the picture and active mythology of its past or of a past borrowed from other cultures. It tests its sense of identity, of regress or new achievement against that past.”

I entered the tank before reading the announcements page. Let me tell you, the best possible place to realize it is April Fools is Wayfriend's topic "Another Thing I Fear About Fnords".

yup, the other hand and any political labels you could assign to those two hands.

So, what exactly does Fnord mean? I did Dictionary.com on Topeka (LOL) and the best I could gather from the definition is "extremist" or "partisan"

Yeah, I didn't think of the fact that "left" and "right" would affect a lot more places than just the 'Tank. :D

Those two are removed from the list now, but I'm seriously considering keeping the other variations in place. :lol:

the proud sons and daughters
that knew the knowledge of the land
spoke to me in sweet accustomed ways"
