I hereby apply for the post of Weapons Specialist/Backup Vocalist. I figure that’s the best shot I have of getting to wear leather pants. This is neat! I’ve always wanted to join a vaguely sinister shadow organization. Those exclusionary Illuminati bastards will pay now! ---

Can I be the **Minister of Weather**? I also do massage and sensual massage, but I understand I have…uh, too much equipment to be of use to Maximum Procounsel Una, so I guess those skills will just go to waste. ---

I’m in, Una, but only because **you** are the Maximum Precounsel. And I live too far north to be apart of the NC/VA gang. However, I did brush elbows with Falcon and PLDennison, who are no doubt the new leaders now that Satan and Drain have been, uh, predisposed… I’ll be the resident super cute brownie baker. Have you heard about my brownies? They are positively _heavenly_. I can’t be a massuese, but I give great back scratch. 😛 ---

Maybe it’s a statement of how much more seriously other people take the “posse” than the “posse” takes themselves. \*\* Well, I sure as hell do not take it seriously at all. Which, of course, is the whole purpose of this humorous-intentioned thread. I think the calls of “Posse”, “Cabal”, “Elite”, “Gang”, and “Clique” are all equally amusing. For the more than a year I have been here, lurking or otherwise, I have seen the same thing happen again and again. As well as the formation of a few actual “posses”, which is almost as silly as making them up. And it’s all just too funny. As \*\*Triple-Agent Rasa[/B} would say, “Woo!” And **Sara** - I’m glad to have you aboard! You wanted to be my masseuse, yes? ---
