Strange Bunkmates...[gather NONessentials:rubbish]

Strange Bunkmates...

It must be a lead-in to the equinox. Maybe some sort of cosmic conjunction or alignment. Or is it possible that gather is really more screwed up down on the server-farm than even this reporter has determined.

While doing a "people most viewed" list this evening I came across an odd sequence while using this gather function. We will call this new feature "Strange Bunkmates". In this new column we will delve into the odd, interesting, and down-right outrageous pairings that gather serves up when making its lists. You just never know who you will be bunking with when gather is allowed to make the sleeping assignments! 

Tonight's participants are luminaries that most gatherites are probably familiar with. This being the inaugural edition we have a little bonus for you. Instead an odd pairing, we will be kicking this off with a Strange Bunkmates - Ménage e trois! To make this all that more strange, two of our contestants have previously died, which should give our remaining contestant an edge in the rewards challenge. Many inhabitants of the western world will point out that the first of the two has risen from the dead and therefore does not need the personal immunity idol - Mr. Christ. While many people have experienced their own spiritual visions of the other - Mr. Hendrix. And sandwiched in between is gather's and the Big D's very own - the lovely, and very much alive - Ms Marilee!

Mr. Hendrix checked in at gather two days ago and has experienced an interview with another gather reporter - ChrisL. - where Mr. Hendrix stated that caffeine junkies should be stationed all along the watchtower.

Mr. Christ's stay at gather was quite brief. He checked in yesterday and today appears to be listed as DOA. It is rumoured that he was at gather in spirit only as there is no trace of articles, images or even comments on gather; giving testament to the probability he resided off-site to avoid hecklers and rabid fans. 

Ms Marilee however, has told this reporter, "I'm in Mourning". While Marilee did not elaborate on her sorrow at this time, a quick look at her homepage reveals that one of her beautiful and thought provoking articles has had its title eaten by the GatherGlitchGremlins, an occurrence all to familiar to this reporter.

Well folks, there you have it, tonight's Strange Bunkmates! Stayed tuned for more odd, interesting, and down-right outrageous pairings served up by the gather farm; and to for the exciting conclusions of tonight's vingettes:

Will Mr.Hendrix experiences on gather pop like Monterrey?

Will Mr. Christ have an epiphany and return to gather??
