::walks in:: You know, you guys sure are taking your time with the initiation of OH MY SWEET, SWEET MUFFINS WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED IN HERE!? :eek: :eek: :eek: The ground is littered with the remains of Squck and Robo-Squck, which despite their larger size were destroyed by a RoboGoat, which itself is still rampaging through the Initiation Complex, and you’re all standing off in the corner firing arrows at each other and singing Bachman Turner Overdrive songs. And poor **Improbability** may have suffered serious psychological damage. I mean honestly, I can’t leave you people alone for two minutes without serious devastation ensuing. It’s a wonder the whole forum didn’t come crashing down on our heads. :: phasers the RoboGoat into oblivion :: Well. Now that that’s under control, I think it’s time **Improbability** gets some counseling. Next time you want to do an initiation, hand the newbie a stack of classic threads and Cecil’s columns and tell them to get reading. ---
