In this thread, Feydeau has made an odd request.
They actually want to be Officially Initiated[sup]TM[/sup]. :eek:
Break out the squids, goat, Jell-o and Wiffle ball bats…it’s time for A Welcoming.
[ominous music] dum-dum-dum… [/om]
<–just pretend he has horns and we’re all set.
[total highjack]
harmless, Did you get the email I sent you?
[/highjack]
Oh!
And they are an actual Charter Member, so please, no imitation stuff this time.
No Gell-O and Wuffle ball bats for this one. 
[Total :smack: ]
Yes, while I was in school this morning…you should be getting one very shortly.
[/ :smack: ]
A volunteer initation??? Well, as long as he’s signed all related waivers, had his shots and [ShamelessPlug] promises to submit a contibution here [/ShamelessPlug] I suppose we can do this.
Ok then…this is a perfect opportunity to test out the RoboGoat Mark III on a willing vict…errr…participant! Let’s just get’er in here…

Ah, craponastick…who let the Jell-o leak all over the floor??
<sigh>…Note for RG Mark IV: Jello-proofing…
Oh dear, oh dear…I left you in charge?
We’re not looking for cheap imitations here Hal. Our friend Feydeau wants a real initiation. Firstly, let’s take a look at what (or rather who) you’ll be taking home tonight:
::Plays Blind Date tune::
Contestant number one is Agnes. She’s a young, hip girl from the country who likes nothing better than a cosy night of felching by an open fireplace.
Contestant number two is Rex. He’s an urban go-getter who spends as much time initiating the newbies as he does engaging in his love for mountain climbing.
And finally contestant number three is Sally a quiet girl, who says she’ll take you for the ride of your life.
The decision is yours…
Rex! Go for Rex, Feydeau!
… no wait… Agnes! Sally! Salllllllyyyy!
Rex!
No! Pick Agnes!
Oh, I don’t know… they all look *horny * to me!
Uh oh.
I have a bad feeling about this.
I have to …check the calamari vats. Yeah, that’s it. ‘Calamari vats’.
:: puts on face mask, rubber gloves, and splashproof bib apron ::
:: eases towards exit ::
:: once through door, starts to run ::
*catches *Sunspace ** fleeing thread
It’s Sunspace! The Calamari-Master! Come on, Sunspace, we need you in here. drags him back in
I think we scared Feydeau. :dubious:
::still playing Blind Date theme tune::
ahem…paging **Feydeau[/b…
I can’t wait around all day you know…I have things to do…and the goats are getting frisky. :eek:
The calamari is getting hungry too. I believe these two parts of the problem may cancel out. Eventually.
That’s what we love about you, hon – maintaining that cockeyed optimism in the face of experiences like you’ve had.
Didn’t Swift have the same idea in A Modest Proposal?
At any rate, those Initiation Paddles I had on backorder finally arrived, and guess what? They’re the wrong model!
Instead of L’il Spanker brand, these are manufactured by Whamm-o. I guess they’ll do, though. The big question is:
Do I leave the little ball and eastic band on?
runs in, out of breath
Guys, good news! The new shipment of latex gloves and felching straws have just arrived–
gets tackled by a squid :eek:
Sunspace! :mad:
Experiences? What experiences? I don’t remember any …experiences…
Bad squid! Bad squid! :: slap ::
You confused ‘tackle’ and ‘tickle’ again!
sighs Super-fantastic spastic ELASTIC!
Hey, where’s Feydeau? We can’t do the initiation without the victim! I mean… newbie.
On what?
