**BiblioCat** , I think you should be Secretary. That means taking minutes and fetching coffee, but also maintaining secret dossiers on anyone who opposes or makes fun of our organisation and/or anyone in it. In the name of our fearless leader **nocturnal\_tick** , I hereby give you licence to spy and also give you Double-secret Q clearance. OK? **Ilsa\_Lund** , you are in charge of holding up **TiggrKitty** ’s thigh-high stockings. We shall therefore call you “The Guardian of Paradise” Also, you can hold her whip when she’s not using it. No licking without express permission, though. ---

I hereby nominate myself as head of the Brat Pack Research and Development Department. Mainly, our task will be to research and/or develop new SDMB trends, in-jokes, catch-phrases or initiation rites, with any other tasks to be produced on spec and with no prior announcement. My first act as head of R & D is to see if anyone is interested in doing some R & D right now because I’m just too darn busy to do it myself. Sorry. ☹ :smack: 😛😃😕 :eek: ---

> [@Hal Briston](#): > > Now then, onto other business. Have we declared a _Minister of Goats_ yet? Alas, no…but here is a handy (if old) list of remaining Brats: **Really Not All That Bright Rufus Xavier misstee TellMeI’mNotCrazy mlerose Chastain86 Cluricaun jackelope torie wolf\_meister Hot Buttered Toast Ghanima Lady Kate elfkin477 Jimmy Chitwood Nightwatch Trailer** **BiblioCat** is now _Number Eight_ and **Ilsa\_Lund** is _Number Nine_ As of now **Rufus** shall be _Number Ten_: Minister of Goats **Really Not All That Bright** will be _Number Eleven_ and can head the R&D department. **misstee** will be _Number Twelve_ and will run the friendly, family-centeredillegal money laundering cookies and ice cream store chain. and finally **TellMeI’mNotCrazy** will be _Number Thirteen_. No-one will know what _13_ does, not even **TMINC** himself. There will be a time when he is called. That is all you need to know. This will be the Governing body of the Brat Pack and that is all. Details will be sent to you concerning meeting times, secret handshakes and the locations of your cyanide pills should you need them. For the rest of you, who were so looking forward to having a position of power, I’m sorry. The heads still need assistants so feel free to whore yourselves when the need arises. Remember, no job is safe accept mine so spaces could open up at any time. 😃 ---

> [@Rufus Xavier](#): > > As Minister of Goats, my first act will be to conduct an inventory of all Goats currently at the disposal of the SDMB. I will have some numbers for you by the close of business today… Let me know if you need any help with that. As Secretary in Charge of Spying and Making Coffee, I’ve been peeking in closets and empty rooms, and I now know where all the extra goats (and a few sheep!) are hidden. They’re all rather skittish, though, and I believe your first order of business should be liberating them to a petting zoo, somewhere far, far away. ---
