And today's award for most amusing forum of the day goes to:

LindaLand . My favourite forum so far is the one dedicated to Linda Goodman's talking sheepdog.

Although the one about Linda Goodman's life and times is pretty good too. That's where the crazies seem to come out to play.

amusement, stuff i love helplessly despite itself

So, having died she’s now well on the way to starting a minor religion?

It would appear so.
It's actually quite disturbing and creepy how fanatically devoted some people on there are (e.g. Linda betrayed me by dying but I've forgiven her for it now)

But Perhaps I'm just cynical because I'm jealous.
I've always had a hankering to have my own cult.

Would it be worth having your own cult, if you had to die first?

I wouldn’t like my own cult, at least not while I was still alive. I’d feel afraid of being branded a heretic by my followers. A bit like that guy who entered a lookalike competition and came third… despite being the celebrity they were supposed to look like.

Celebrities are the modern pantheon, only not quite as omnipotent as the gods of old.

Found the reference.

It was Charlie Chaplin, in a Charlie Chaplin-lookalike competition, and he didn’t come anywhere near third…
