Don't give Barb such toys, or the word 'canonised' would get a meaning we all want to avoid!

St Barbara....patron saint of the artillery I believe.

Graf von Kreuzigung
Indeed : artillery, firefighters, miners,... Patron saint of all kinds of dangerous jobs!
But St. Florian was responsible for the fire brigades. There was always an old prayer during heavy thunderstorms, really Christian thought: "My dear holy Florian, spare my house, set others on fire"
Check France. I hear they have plenty. Arkansas does too...Meanwhile, everybody is apparently looking for timber wood for crosses and whipping posts

I couldn’t find any. I think they hid it all behind some trees.

Sorry. Arkansas has used their timber to supply the burgeoning outhouse market
I'M NOT CONVINCED BY THIS ATHEISM THING, IN POINT OF FACT.And what if Barb takes an exemple form it, and resurrects too? Than we can start the trial all over again?
An atheist asking!?

So, you don't believe in atheism?I'M NOT CONVINCED BY THIS ATHEISM THING, IN POINT OF FACT.
If it cannot stand the wind, can it stand a writhing crucified?

“Uh oh, I fear I have more bad news to report,” confides @bobinder to the stalwart band of Cruxors surrounding Barbara and staring rather forlornly at the sawn-off stump of the town’s whipping post.
“What pray tell could possibly be worse news than the loss of the town’s whipping post along with our entire supply of Crux Timber,” cries @Wragg .
“Oh, it’s far worse than that,” observes @Jollyrei . “We appear to be completely surrounded by legions of Barbaria clones armed with 30 calibre semi-automatic demerit launchers!”
“What? How did that happen?” moans @Loxuru in dismay.
“I suspect that Barbaria is guilty of Moore than pushing the CruxForums self-destruct button,” observes @montycrusto .
“Yes, she apparently located the self-clone controls too,” confirms @twonines .
“Is this true?” @old slave asks Barbaria directly.
“Well ….” she replies noncommittally.
“Ask her for terms!” cries @Harsh Martinet , “Hurry … before her clones unleash a hypersonic volley of demerits upon us!”
“Yes, quite right. What are your terms, Barbaria?” enquires Wragg respectfully.
“Nothing much really,” she replies. “ I simply demand that my claim of innocence in causing the Great Crash be acknowledged and accepted once and for all. And, that I be crowned Queen of CruxForums, and that henceforth all of you lowlifes become my vassals. That I be given a never ending supply of quality Riesling to quaff at my leisure. And last but not least, that Monty and Twonines be forever prohibited from rhyming!”
“That sounds rather contractual,” observes @Loinclothslave legally.
“Quite. Someone fetch paper and pen so we can get this down in writing,” says Wragg resignedly.
“Have her call off her clones first!” suggests @phlebas , dodging an inadvertently launched demerit.
“Not so fast!” warns Barbara. “Not until everyone’s acquiescence to my conditions is confirmed in writing.”
Muttering and grousing ensues.
“Alright, alright! Everyone calm down! @RacingRodent is preparing the contract as we speak, declares bobinder in a gentle, crowd-soothing tone.
“Hopefully she won’t read the fine print,” adds @Apostate in a low conspiratorial voice, winking slyly.

Well, I've heard us called a lot of things, but "stalwart" doesn't normally rhyme with "depraved".
This is one of those rhetorical questions I've heard so much about, I expect.
Just my version of one-upmanship - it can always be worse.
Ooooh, that is bad.
Some sort of clay pot, is it? "Vassal" - must look that up.
Now there's a man who's thinking clearly (for a change).
