Shannon Larratt is Zentastic

I've finally fixed most of the rendering issues in the diary search module; GIF and PNG files display now properly, **PIX#** commands both link properly and support the **PIXFULL** mode as well. It's not 100% compatible yet, but it's a giant step in the right direction.

Anyway, I'm sure regular readers remember the marker tattoo submitted for membership. Franko el Derbi made a typically assine response (which you can read here), which was so stupid that I was genuinely shocked to get a response. Anyway, since that last email Franko has ditched Islam for Christianty. Read the first message, and then continue. Her reply, and Franko's in return:

>haha, no problem =D i'm glad ya like it.
>but im confused...did i get a
>membership...er...what? haha, sorry :/

I really have to apologizerizer to you for that last message. I'd been having a bad day and spoke out of line. Of course Tony the Tiger never said anything like that.

I get the impressioneresher you're asking me for a hint. Well, I suppose I can probably tell you this much: your username is the same as the password to your email account (don't ask me how I know it, I can't leegallymally tell you that either), and your password is a word that rhymes with both "Rachel" and with "Grapefruit" (assuming you use the traditionalleraller pronunciation of both words, not the "hip" pronunciation that I understand is popular with young people these days).

God Bless, and always remember what we say in the submissions screening business: Psalms 1:4-5 - "The ungodly are not so but are like the chaff which the wind driveth away. Therefore the ungodly shall not stand in the judgement, nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous."

Can I get an AMEN, sister?!

OK, at this point she's got to realize she's being made fun of. Not only has Franko's name changed, but he's just making up words worse than Ned Flanders. But no, she's buying it:

>hm...what ryhmes with both "rachel"
>and "grapefruit" ?? hm...i am
>confused. haha ... another hint =D??

I'm a bit worried that if I tell you any more I'd be in violation of the law; not so much man's law, but God's law... Most people don't have any trouble with this riddle. Let's see...

I am reminded of Zecharia 14:2; "For I will gather all nations against Jerusalem to battle; and the city shall be taken, and the houses rifled, and the women ravished; and half of the city shall go forth into captivity, and the residue of the people shall not be cut off from the city."

I'm sure you understand why I mention that. All I can suggest is that you ask your Minister for guidance in this matter.

Good luck, and God Bless.

I'm fairly certain that made no sense at all. At a minimum she should at least realize that Franko is probably insane, let alone stonewalling her. But no, the charade continues!

>hmm. i'm not too good with all the
>god and bible stuff. i dont go to
>church, so i cant ask my minister...
>what's my username again? you say
>its "20764"...?

I've already said too much so please don't ask me to confirm or deny such things via email; I've already explained to you that your website password is set as your username so you know the answer to that question.

We work closely with all the major churches in America, Canada, Mexico, and Ireland, so if you call any -- as long as it's not a Church of Satan of course -- and give them the following information:

  1. The two scripture quotes.
  2. Your username (password).
  3. Describe the tattoo.

They will be able to look up the password for you; oh, and if there's any confusion at all let them know that it's 9 letters and is the fourth one down on page 43. Actually, you can just tell them that. I hope I don't get in trouble for this! You owe me one!

Enjoy the site, and I'll be praying for you. God Bless,

OK, maybe it's convincing, I don't know, but “Lordy Lordy, Judy's Forty“? What's up with that? Describe the tattoo? “It looks like a star I drew on with marker, but honest, it's real father. Thou shalt not lie, right? Bless me father, for I have not sinned.”

>sounds good :)...do you give
>everyone a riddle for their password?

Absolutely! It's essential, and it's the law. The law of the jungle that is, and really, who am I to argue with Shere Khan?

>and what made you choose to give
>me a biblical riddle...?

The Lord works in mysterious ways they say. No, seriously though the reason we use the Bible is because (a) God is great, and (b) God makes himself known to all people -- it's the only basis we can use that can reach all people in all languages in all countries.

>just wondering ;) and the username
>thing...i dont have to enter a password
>for my email. so im screwed in that position...

Yes, you do have to enter a password for your email. If you didn't then anyone could check your email. Ask your ISP for more information.

God Bless,

Part of me is beginning to think that either (a) she's a Franko double-agent and is messing with me, or (b) she actually has the world's worst star tattoo and it just really looks like marker. Either way, that brings you up to date on this sordid love affair.
