I Hereby Abandon Any Role in the Patriarchy.

[MineralMan]

Being a patriarch is too damned hard. I'm tired of it. So, I'm retiring from the patriarchy.

1. can i have all your stuff?

[MineralMan]

2. Sure. That would mean I wouldn't have to have

a Patriarchal garage sale. My stuff's all old and worn-out, though. Are you sure you want it?

[HopeAgain]

3. I squandered all mine long ago...

[unblock]

4. good idea. i'll have to ask mrs. unblock if she'll let me do that, too.

[ProfessorGAC]

5. Well Played, UB

That was funny stuff.

[MineralMan]

6. I checked with my wife already.

Now, I'm downstairs doing the laundry. Seems fair enough to me. I'll take care of the rest of the list later.

[True Dough]

7. And we were prepared

to make you the head of the DU monarchy! Poor timing, MM!

[MineralMan]

8. If elected, I will not serve.

I suggest Nance Greggs for that position.

Long Live Queen Nance of DU!
