I suppose it’s about time for another Brat Pack thread. But this one is serious this time. Serious? I didn’t sign up for no serious! I think that the Pack needs some organisation what with a new member entering our midst.

She’s got spunk, she’s got the knack, but better than that she’s just so goddamn cool.

Congratulations **AngelicGemma**

**Official Brat Pack Member 2004**

Wear your signature with pride.  
Now onto the organisation. Obviously I am the self-appointed leader of this whole shindig and am quite happy to remain in this position for now. But…

I can’t exactly keep doing everything on my own so I’ve come up with a couple of positions for you to fill. So without further ado I give you some random namesakes:  
**nocturnal\_tick** : _Number One_ - The boss  
I run the show on the long run. Anything that happens has a least a go-ahead from me. If I am not available…

**Hal Briston** : _Number Two_ :snicker:  
**kittenlm** : _Number Two’s wife and therefore boss_ ::snickersnicker::  
Number Two is my right hand man. When I’m on vacation in the Caymans, like I do, he’s the guy to turn to. He may also manage any queries Brats may have.

**harmless** : _Number Three_ - Party Division  
I can’t keep starting all the Brat “meetings” myself which is why I turn said duty over to **harmless**. She has full ability to start Brat meetings, with a thumbs-up on my part, or if away NO.2. If you have an idea for a brat party, go to her.

**Ghanima** : _Number Four_ - Publicity Division  
I would find it hard to believe that we haven’t been heard of in the tiniest amounts on the boards. And for this reason we need to make sure the right things are being heard. We’ve gotta sound cool, hip, swingin’ and all those other popular words. We need an ambassador, someone who can correct the misinterpretations and spread the word, so to speak.

**AngelicGemma** : _Number Five_ - Head of Lincoln DopeFests.  
I know that if I didn’t give her a title she’d bug me for ages. Democratic: No. Practical: Ummmm, yes.

That’s all the titles I can think of at the moment. I will also need Brats to head their particular regions. Currently I would be Head of UK Division, though I would be happy to relinquish this position to someone else. If you have a position idea you would like to fill send it in and I’ll consider it.

That’s the minutes for this meeting I think. Any questions?

Perfect! I’ll stick a couple of 0’s on the front of that 7, just for my own personal records… 😃

We are a pack of bratty dopers: thus, we are the Doper Brat Pack.

I am taking this opportunity to change my title to Mistress of Propaganda and my organisation shall be called the Ministry of Truth.

And I nominate **TiggrKitty** to be Sergeant at Arms. Someone needs to keep us Brats in line. She could wear a sexy hitler costume, or maybe a nun costume or perhaps a “kitten-with-a-whip” sort of thing. 😃

Wait! I like Ghanima’s suggestion! I could be the dominatrix! I could walk around in stilettos and crack whips! oooo the fun I could have!

Hey **Bosda** , no 99’ers on Brat territory :mad:

Oh I’m just messin’. Make yourself comfy and I’ll bring you a cold one.

**Ghanima** a.k.a _Number Four_ is now Mistress of Propaganda.

… :dubious: … 🙂 … 😃

**Tiggrkitty** a.k.a _Number Six_ is now Sergeant at Arms, or Dominatrix or whatever she like if she looks like my imagination. :eek: As your first order of business take this drink to our visitor **Bosda** and make him feel… comfortable.

You forgot to lick my boots and plead for mercy.

You know, you may make a great coffee table for my beanbag with you being bent over like that.

Once again, what’s my title? What do I get to be in charge of?

Guess I gotta yell in color to be heard around here…

And it better be something good… and no dorky costume. I want a GOOD costume!
