Having trouble with the blandness of Gather? Have you read a number of articles and wished they had just a little more pizzazz? Maybe longed for some humor mixed in with the dry lesson?

Worry no more. We have our own special sauce in Ste. Joan. No, she is not the official Gather "catch up" or "musty turd", nor is she a Gather employee.

Ste. Joan is a unique blend of satire and punch, guaranteed to liven up any topic she approaches. Her carefully chosen words will make the most straight-laced reader smile despite him/herself. She takes the pain out of examining tough topics.

And, she does this from the kindness of her heart, which makes her extremely special.

When she sees this article, she is probably going to laugh (once she gets over the shock). I would so love to be present to see her warm smile.

Those of you who know Ste. Joan will surely want to click on this link to join her fan club immediately. If there is anyone out there who doesn't already know her, I suggest you read this and click on the link in the last comment, as I am sure you will want to join her fan club then.

Remember: Ste. Joan is NOT a Gather employee or a true saint, nor has she ever tried to represent herself as either. In fact, I think she might vehemently deny both, should anyone make such accusations.

I'm already a huge St. Joan fan, but thank you for reminding me. As special sauces go, she's really really HOT, I might add.
Sandy Knauer Nov 24, 2006, 6:28pm UTC
Thank you, Terry. Special sauce always help with good taste.
Sandy Knauer Nov 24, 2006, 6:30pm UTC
Yes, Mark. I didn't want to say too much about her hottness (as though everyone here hasn't already noticed). After so many good qualities, people might have thought I was sensationalizing.
Joy H. Nov 24, 2006, 8:12pm UTC
I too, am a Joan fan.
Thanks for the reminder.
Sandy Knauer Nov 24, 2006, 8:26pm UTC
I didn't even know about the dragon. Now, I'm even more in awe.
Dannielle S. Nov 24, 2006, 10:15pm UTC
Yes, she's been dragon that sword around for a while now...
Dame Ruth, Chief Executive Elitist D. Nov 24, 2006, 10:57pm UTC
Does she need a lab coat?
Sandy Knauer Nov 24, 2006, 10:59pm UTC
Maybe we all do?
Cheryl C. Nov 24, 2006, 11:17pm UTC
Ste Joan is a lively contributor whose sassy opinions are delivered with piercing wit, and unadulterated candor. And I like her dog, too.
Sandy Knauer Nov 24, 2006, 11:21pm UTC
Cheryl, I still have a number of human fan clubs to work on. Maybe you can do one for the dog?
Lyrical Peace Nov 24, 2006, 11:22pm UTC
I can't find MY fan club!
Sandy Knauer Nov 24, 2006, 11:26pm UTC
I am so sorry. You are next!
Lyrical Peace Nov 24, 2006, 11:27pm UTC
Yah, that's what everyone ALWAYS says to me!
Sandy Knauer Nov 24, 2006, 11:57pm UTC
You are so cute when you whine. Thank you, for never letting me lose 'my baby'.

I wish they would bottle that "special sauce" because I could use some.
Dame Ruth, Chief Executive Elitist D. Nov 25, 2006, 4:46pm UTC
Okay Sandy... let's get our priorities straight here... Are you saying your daughter comes before your Number One Whore on the Fan Club list? I'm crawling around on the floor again (on some other thread whose location I don't remember at the moment, being too distraught to keep my bearings) pleading for the recognition of a fan club all my own, but does anyone (aside from that pack of rabid christians who keep nipping at my ass) listen? I really don't want to replace you as my Pimp Extaordinaire, but if that Fan Club isn't organized before the end of the business day, you can expect a pink slip in your inbox. I'm serious. This is NOT a satire.
Jackie C. Nov 25, 2006, 10:01pm UTC
"10" !!!
Sandy Knauer Nov 25, 2006, 10:23pm UTC
Ruth, forget the daughter and the new husband (who can't seem to find his way in here). I will start your fan club immediately. Apparently, neither of them deserve the honor of being president of your fan club as much as I do. I only wish I could turn back time and make this three days ago, so you could have been on the front page with the Elvis fan club.
Sandy Knauer Nov 25, 2006, 10:38pm UTC
Ruth, I hope you will look this over carefully.

Well then, okay. I'm not too thrilled to be third on the list, but at least I'm ahead of Elvis, dead and full of shit though he may be. I checked out the page, but couldn't find any bylaws. Are there dues? Do we have meetings? Where did I put my copy of Robert's Rules of Order? What kind of club is this, anyhow? Your early response will be most appreciated.
Sincerely,
She for Whom the Fan Club is Named

If I was the dragon on her sword, I'd make sure that Ste. Joan's enemies were crispy and taste good with ketchup...

Sorry but I have been in the kitchen making up more special sauce to slather on my favorite friends and colleagues.

Sandy, thank you for this truly special honor. I only wish I had a rosebud handy to place in my flowing tresses. {{{{Hugs}}} and slobbery tushie kisses to one and all.

Much love and insaucience, Joan.
Lori (Dr Devience) Leidig Nov 26, 2006, 3:46pm UTC
A fan club for Joan! This is brilliant. Do we have to sacrifice a goat though? They're so cute...
