You can't call us bigoted, exclusionary, male chauvinist bastards anymore

The Ministry is pleased to inform you that yet another blogger has been assimilated into our perfidious collective. Loyal reader, successful blogger, and knitter Mapgirl has, after years of begging, been accepted into the fold. The Ministry would like to make clear that we did not resist bringing Mapgirl on as a Minister years earlier because she was a girl. Or because she knits, or because we are prejudiced in any way toward any ethnic, social, religious, technical, or recreational group that Mapgirl might be a member of. It is only because we didn't think she was serious when she said she wanted to join. Finally, the Ministry was made aware of the error of its mistake when Maps stopped being subtle, sly, and making oblique references to the desirability of Ministerial rank and just said, "Let me in, or I'll plant my size six Doc Martins so far up your ass you'll taste Kiwi Black Shoe Polish for a week."

Once things were made clear, things started moving. The code gnomes were roused from their slumber, and whipped into action. The left sidebar bears the fruit of their pain, in the form of a new entry for our newest minister. As we speak, her passwords, credentials and secret decoder ring are wafting their way through the internets, and soon, we will be privileged to read our first post from our new minister.

The Ministry insists that everyone welcome Mapgirl. Thank you for your cooperation.

Welcome to the fold, Mapgirl. I'm looking forward to seeing your seething across these jaded pages.

I'm sure my own invite has been lost in the mail, but I'll wait patiently amid the chaos of my own blogs until the oversight committee reconvenes. :P

Wik (see how good I did that?): Don't invite too many people to join the Ministry or you'll have all Chiefs and no Injuns.

Also wik: Not that that's necessarily a bad thing.

Also also wik: But y'all need a Minister with a perspective west of the Big Muddy.

Hah! You blog like a girl.

That was directed at the rest of you geezers, because she's already thrown more f-bombs out there than the rest of you put together in a month.

Congrats Mapgirl, it'll be interesting to watch you let your inner-Sybyl shine through.

Ted:

You'd be surprised how hard it is to NOT drop f-bombs here. Buckethead's got the system tuned so that most prissy parlor-speak is automatically turned into a "fuck".

Which makes for fun times while editing a post, I'd tell you.

Meh. You guys love to be humiliated, what's why all of you are married, or nearly so.

That's 'Marten'. *sigh*

What's really funny is that I finally just had to blunt instrument the damned request, after Buckethead telling me to be more subtle when telling another blogger that his writing sucks. Go figure.
