Now That I'm A Member, Fill Me In On The Secrets

Miscellaneous and Personal Stuff I Must Share
1

Okay guys, I’m officially a “member” here now, no longer a humble guest. Now, as a member I know that I am entitled to certain privileged pieces of information.

First off, teach me the SDMB handshake. None of that regular handshake for the guests, give me the real deal.

That’s actually all I can think of right now, but don’t worry, when I think I should know something as a full fledged member, I’ll let you know.

Oh, one more thing, am I the one who gets to introduce the squid and/or the goat to new guests?

2

The handshake for members is easy. It’s a handshake for members. If you know what I meant.

3

Yeah, yer a member. We all knew that.

4

Damn you charter members and your fancy charter membershipness, you’ll get yours!

5

We already have ours, thank you! In the fullness of time, you might get yours. (If you don’t get too uppity.)

6

Yes, we do get ours. Twice weekly, as stated in our charter member charter.

7

And man is my rear end sore! :eek:

8

Ok, who has the squid?, I think Skald had the goat so there will be no felching in this initiation, the jelly is in the usual place…

9

The goat is missing.

Somebody left an IOU in his stable.

Damn Recession!

10

Who’s wrangling the ice cream? Last time, we lost two people and the initiant didn’t come out for a week!

11

I think before we teach you the handshake, all of the Charter Members have to give you a wedgie. Isn’t that in paragraph 6?

And I think the squid got laid off. Although we may be able to issue a part time contract for a cuttlefish.

12

D: Cuttlefish are just mean. At least the squid was gentle when he was beaking…

13

That’s Paragraph 7, Paragraph 6 is the zamboni.

14

There is NO . . . Paragraph Six.

15

Let’s see…when I became a member…
…
…
no one noticed.

At least I didn’t have to go through the initiation. My grand plan is to make sure those Charter characters never find out! So far so good.

-D/a

16

Since members have to do various “odd” jobs for us Charter Members, I need you to go to the top floor and get a bucket of steam from the steam room.

17

Dude. The last time anyone did that, it ended up all over the walls. Do we really want to go through that again?

Oh, why not? It was amusing then and it will be amusing now.

18

The squid is a lie.

19

The first rule of the club is that… I’ve said too much already.

20

OK, you’ve officially joined and all that, but until you are officially anointed while while dressed in the ceremonial muu-muu, followed by light snacks in the solarium, well, you’re not *really *a member. So report to the quartermaster for issue of said muu-muu, your fuzzy bunny slippers, and your Helmet of Infinite Bad Hair. And don’t fall for it if he gives you a plain paper bag - that just ruins the dignity of the installation protocol.

Oh yeah, and you have to provide the light snacks. Make sure they’re fresh and tasty.
