It's actually a cute, not-very-smart-even-for-a-cat, fluffball. We simply had a misunderstanding. See, I was scratching it's back vigorously with my left hand, and it was entranced - tongue hanging out, eyes vacant - and I thought I'd add my right hand to the mix. I succeeded in startling it, at which point it jumped into the air and came down, teeth bared, on my offending hand. The next few moments were rather painful, and then it realised what it was attacking and abruptly stopped, looked at me, and ran away. Avoided me the rest of the day. Maybe it's not so dumb after all.

OP: you had something about inane tangents in your guide, right?

If you're really old on The Sinner though, you'll remember Ten's earlier posts, and assorted other characters who are no longer around. ATBAON is perhaps from the middle ages of The Sinner history, really! (Obviously, I'm not so old as to have been around in those really olden days!)


I remember when The Sinner was all blue and white and had a crab instead of a stick!

Er... just noticed the stick is at one with Niniveh and Tyre as well

Not quite, the stick is still our bookmark icon, and appears prominently on the 404 page (which I've just rewritten).

I think that page needs more green. I miss how green the old sinner was.

Yeah, I think the 404 needs more green too.

I considered it! Let me find the hideous background texture from the old site and I'll see what I can do.

Ugh, that background always made me think I had a dirty monitor.

I always have a dirty monitor, so it makes little difference :D Horrible background now in place!

Didn't the very early sinner have a devil girl as a watermark in the background?

*slumps* I think I'm old.


Agreed. The Sinner has broken my spirits I hardly ever engage in lengthy arguments any more.

If you read any of Prophet Tenebrae's pornography then you'd have been scarred for life. This I think also makes me respectably old as I remember all of these things.

Also if you can't work this bloody new fancy internet board this is also another sign you are old. Emoticons?
