Meeting Notes, **SDMB Clique** , 9/10/00 meeting.

9:00 AM: Discussed **Satan** ’s Ass. Had we heard too much of it? Not enough of it? Was **Omniscient** ’s shiny white ass becoming too much of a diversion from the original running joke? Vote: 37-1, **Satan** ’s ass must now be included in at least one in every twenty posts. **Drain Bead** promises to fulfill the quota for abstaining posters. **Satan** voices his final objections, then sulks.

9:48 AM: Discussed current topics in GD. General consensus- too much religion, not enough Star Trek. **Spoofe Bo Diddly** is nominated to start a commitee regarding “what the next big sci-fi question will be”. **Polycarp** and **Libertarian** agree to begin voluntary posting limits until the next big witnessing invasion. **Satan** promises to go out and recruit new fundies for when the time comes.

10:23 AM: Donuts.

11:15 AM: Discussed ‘flirting’ threads currently in **MPSIMS**. In order to help distribute notoriety and focus attention away from the more prominent clique members, **Coldfire** will being flirting with **Evilbeth** , and **DRY** will begin flirting with **Maeglin**. Heated debate ensures as to whether or not **Maeglin** is female. Discussion tabled with decision that **DRY** will instead begin flirting with **Falcon** , causing a minor tiff with **ChiefScott**. **Maeglin** will be given “first free rights”, where whomever he/she flirts with first must return the affection.

12:30 PM: Lunch at Denny’s.

1:35 PM: Begin discussion of GQ. Are enough new posters annoying **Manny** , or should we start enlisting friends and family to go in and ask questions obviously designed for different forums? **UncleBeer** points out that **Manny** is nearing sniper-on-a-rooftop stress levels, and so the decision is made for a small respite for **Manny**.

2:05 PM: **Milosarrian** gives his report on the **Euchtyus55** post-bot, which seems to be perfectly filling in for the late moderator. **Milo** ’s report is interrupted only briefly by **Mullinator** ’s drunken demand for **TwistOfFate** to “squeal like a pig.” Both are sent back to their hotel room, although it is unclear at this point whether they had their alcohol removed from them, or were handed more whiskey.

2:39 PM: Discussion of newbie on the board. **Lexicon** reports on the flaming prowess of new posters, including **SkinnyGuy** , who seems on the fast-track to inclusion in the clique. **GaWd** reports on the flirting capabilities of new posters, giving high marks to **Anniz** and **Soda**. All three are voted to recieve the super-secret instructions on joining the clique, 38-0. **Evilbeth** reports that ostracizing and humiliating most other newbies seems to have the desired results of making them whine and cry and run away like little babies. Clique Chairman **kellibelli** congratulates **evilbeth** on a job well done, and suggests to Sub-chairman for Flirtation **Montfort** that **evilbeth** be placed in the next round of link-ups.

3:54 PM: Meeting adjourned.

Don’t make me take off my sunglasses…  
And then John Corrado mentioned my name **and** Satan’s Ass in the same post! Wow. 😃 Listening to Black Sabbath (Cross Purposes) right now to celebrate the occasion.  
With all the shit I’m putting up with in RL currently, that rant was a boil waiting to be punctured. For those of you who don’t have a RL just yet: don’t rush it. It’s not all that it’s cracked up to be. 😉 Man, I have to get some more time to myself.

_Flaming 101 - Guest Lecturer: SkinnyGuy_  
Cultivate your anger. Take your time. Think about it. Wait at least until your second aneurism. The impared keybored skills will only feed your anger.  
Do not use your native language to flame. The loss of 40% of your flaming power will aggravate you that little extra.  
Spell-check your flame at least four times. By hand. If _that_ doesn’t push you over the edge, nothing will.  
Had an attack of RL again today. I’m cultivating…

You know **yojimbo** , I actually went (down the stairs) and got the CD and listened to it. I thought it started with the cymbals. 🙂 Well 'ard.

**Aghris** I answered you in another thread about this. I hope you see that **picmr** is correct–I was kidding!!! I avoided using smilies because this is the Pit! But here, 😉 😉 😉 😉 ;)–do these help? 😉 You will find that I am rarely openly hostile when posting!

**John Corrado** , that was easily the greatest thing I have ever read on this board! (Especially since Coldfire gets to flirt with me!)

**SkinnyGuy** , allow me to say that you are one of the coolest “fuckin’ newbies” I have ever seen! Keep it up!

**Mr. Cynical** Why, thank you. Thank you very much.

I realised that. Being a newbie myself, I guess I have to get used to certain people’s way of posting. I also apologised already 🙂

Why on earth did you choose your name then? Sounds like a misnomer 😉

may I hereby categorically deny any involvement in the “Piggate” scandal. What Mully wishes to do with a consenting farm animal is his business, not mine.

I shall be available for questions later, until then I shall be in a corner with a tinfoil hat and a bottle of whiskey.

Sincerely,

We have had a few threads about usernames and I have posted the story there. Sad to say, it has nothing to do with real evil and is, strangely, related to an eraser.

Mr. Cynical, your outstanding translation skills should be used in the Mid East peace talks.

I have my own clique. The voices and I are quite happy together. Although a few of them do resent being excluded from the “Elite Clique” and are becoming quite vocal about it. Most of us don’t favor retribution but a few are being swayed by the rhetoric. More later.
