I dunno *shrugs*

.. if Im not mistaken :wink: the forum was dubbed 'In Pursuit of Mallory' because the only other contenders in the running were Welsh inspired:

'In Pursuit of LlanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogoGOCH' forum ...

.. which was agreed was a tad gratuitous and potentially too arduous for Siri to accurately replicate and ... of course the ever popular other contender under consideration ....

'In Pursuit of the Bartyflartbast was considered but had been copyrighted by Ron Hubbard (and as he is now resident of an alien planet - legal cautioned the Watch against using it.

*for reals* ;) ;) ;) ;)

Because calling it "In pursuit of Foolishness" would just shame too many of us. :oops:

Why is this ....

Because one day, a very long time ago, when dinosaurs roamed the earth and faeries were not creatures of myth, but lived freely among the denizens of the land, a great storm came upon the land blowing great gusts of wind hither and thither. One faerie names Mallory was lost to the land. The king of that land, a strange but comely fellow named TOM of the ic clan, raised a standard high calling on the fealty of the inhabitants to leave their homes to join him in search of poorly Mallory. He and his possy have been searching ever since.... even to this very day his call can be heard, in pursuit of Mallory.


Truth be known however, that Mallory is a despicable little turd 💩 who enjoys the attention and craves the pursuit, always staying a few steps ahead of his pursuers.

Lol skyweir good one.

Or how about this:
On the eighth day after the Almighty had rested he created Mallory. But because the writing of this was lost after Eve partook of the apple Man has been pursuing Mallory ever since.
Not every person is going to understand you and that's okay. They have a right to their opinion and you have every right to ignore it.

haha nice :biggrin:

Mallory is not a person as many mistakenly suppose, Mallory is pure pleasure, perfect happiness, true joy .....

Throughout all the ages of time man has sought Mallory .. some have found Mallory but most have not ..

This is a thread established in homage to all things perfect and true, beautiful and pleasurable .. as we all in our several journeys seek Mallory

It was really supposed to be named in pursuit of Mall or Y but some fingers were too quick on the draw and put it all in one word.

Now you ask why would it be called in pursuit of Mall or Y? Welll..... in simple mathematics when you are searching for a mall or an unknown variable you pursue Mall or Y. That's my story and I'm sticking to it.

"Why is this forum called In pursuit of Mallory?"

Because Vain confessed that he liked it that way:
Vain wrote:It was the fruit of my not too fertile imagination I fear. I meant it as Mallory's Bar in the Gap series, and the pursuit was supposed to resemble a game? (like Trivial Pursuit)

Any suggestions for a better name will be appreciated :)

You're right, of course, samrw3! Maybe the reason this forum is called "In pursuit of Mallory" is because it sounded like a more hopeful quest than if it were entitled, "in pursuit of Unicorns"...hope that makes amends just a bit.

Hahaha but if only that were true lol 😂

Everybody knows the forum is titled In Pursuit of Mallory because its in fact a police call sign .. meaning of course .. high speed frog chase. Which on any normal day would be a municipality concern but once every four years, each leap year, the police must pick up the slack and pursue frogs jumping at phenomenally high speeds.. which as you would expect is a treacherous traffic hazard
