Is there some sort of incantation that will summon SlimVirgin/Hell Freezes Over to post here at the review? When she's here screeching like a banshee and denouncing everyone, this is a fun place, and people stop squabbling with each other and unite against a common foe.

She seems to feel it's safe enough when I go on holiday, but I missed my summer vacation this year — so be a nice, not a naughty kid and maybe you'll get a nice Christmas surprise.

As far as I know, this cannot be accomplished without a crane, and our crane budget is pretty much used up for this year.



Several sites have reported some success using nuclear submarines, but of course that's completely outside of our feasibility range.

I especially liked the part where she eventually made it plain that she thought LaRouchites had driven Jeremy Duggan to suicide (or maybe even pushed him into traffic). While all the while we were supposed to forget that she claimed to edit LaRouche articles (and ban LaRouche supporters) as an "uninvolved admin." (IMG:smilys0b23ax56/default/angry.gif)

The way to get Slimmy back here is to post a long and well-researched article on one or more of:

1) Her "WP:OWN"ed articles, lately The death of Ian Tomlinson (T-H-L-K-D) or one of her long-term favorites, like anything in Animal Rights;
2) Her increasing use of the ban-hammer without process;
3) Her back room politicking and meddling in Wiki-drama in general; or
4) Additional informed (or perhaps uninformed but plausible or salacious) speculation on her identity, background, and habits;

Even so, she might not rise to the bait. She seems to have taken a chill-pill shortly after her temporary de-frocking, and has only recently begun ramping back up toward her pre-humiliation levels of abuse.

Frankly, it is hard to tell whether Slim has gotten better or the entire rest of Wikipedia has gotten worse. The mostly plausible answer to that doesn't seem likely, and the likely answer doesn't seem plausible.

I've had some luck summonsing Wikipedians with atrocious song parodies.

I would have suggested she needs a birdhouse in her soul, but she would need a soul first. (IMG:smilys0b23ax56/default/dry.gif)

I can't even remember the last time we discussed SV. It used to be The Slim Virgin Review for many years and now it seems she's yesterday's news. (IMG:smilys0b23ax56/default/ohmy.gif)

I thought slim lost her admin powers, or was I mistaken those so many years ago.

Temporarily, but SlimVirgin has them back again.

The difference between Slim Virgin and the Smallpox Virus is that the Smallpox Virus has been eradicated, rendering it currently less pernicious than Slim Virgin.

And because you said that, she's going to go crazy again and claim you outed her poodle. That or she'll join the Climate Change Arb case and make your life even more of a living hell, if that's possible. (IMG:smilys0b23ax56/default/dry.gif) (IMG:smilys0b23ax56/default/hrmph.gif)

Her social power, though, appears to have waned since she was temporarily desysopped. I don't know if she has the social capital to influence things like she used to.

I remember reading, in Scientific American, an article entitled "The Eradication of Smallpox" explaining exactly how they did it. I still get goosebumps of admiration for the scientists who pulled off that astounding feat.

Yeah, but you're just one guy, aren't you? True, you're that one guy, but that doesn't necessarily make you, like, the guy. (Or does it?)

Anyway, I've been analyzing this problem for the last several hours, and I've concluded that comparing SlimVirgin to smallpox is most likely not the best way to convince her to return here as a participant. We might have slightly better luck with, say, an endocrine disorder (such as pheochromocytoma or even hyperparathyroidism) or perhaps a pulmonary disease such as Goodpasture's syndrome (T-H-L-K-D), which actually sounds sort of nice until you come down with it. Still, the best results might actually be obtained by not comparing her to any disease whatsoever. I realize this may seem counterintuitive to some of our members...
