The Honorable Order of Toadfish (HOT!) was founded on or around January 6th, 2006. Join us in celebrating our anniversary this week!

Brief History:

The Honorable Order of Toadfish began as a reaction against flaming and general intolerance on other sites. Sibling Opsanus dreamed it up and asked Sibling Chatty (whom sadly we lost last year due to terminal illness) for permission to set it up as a private area (entered only through vows of humbleness) on another site. Sibling MentalBlock set this site up as it's own presence shortly afterward and it slowly grows in population as people who need it find their way here.

We hope you find it a pleasant place and visit often- or better yet, find out more about becoming a full Toadfish Sibling! All who are willing to try harder to find peaceful ways to communicate are welcome.

Happy birthday, monastery!

Will there be lit fish-heads instead of candles on the birthday cake?  ;D

No because that would be dangerous for the squidlings.

It's the fish heads, you know. They would have been Bart's.


Happy birthday to the Monastery!

A bit of the googling reveals that 4th anniversaries
are recognized with (traditional) Fruit or Flowers:

Sunflower-- gratitude and appreciation

Olive branch -- peace


or with (modern) Appliances:

Moat Cleaning Equipment!

and celebrate: Ideas and Symbols






Thanks to the founders...

Sunflowers and olives?  Oily!  Let's use the former for massages and the latter for pasta.
WWDDD?
