**Revenge of the Power-Crazed Mods Part LXI** (A play) Big thanks to **Nacho4Sara** for the great title! Setting: The Scottish Highlands, on a windswept hill, two EVIL admins, **Lynn** and **Tuba** are meeting. A computer is set up on a three-legged bar-stool. **Tuba** : When shall we two meet again? **Lynn** : When some poor schmuck is banned, I claim! **Tuba** : Y’know, I hate everyone here. Even you. **Lynn** : You’re not such hot pork-chops yourself. Let’s ban someone. **Tuba** : You _always_ want to ban someone. What else is there to do? **Lynn** : I dunno. What do you want to do? **Tuba** : I dunno. What do _you_ want to do? **Lynn** : We could ban someone. **Tuba** : Oh for the love of…fine. Who do you wanna ban? **Lynn** : We could pick a name… **Tuba** : We _always_ randomly pick names. _ **Coldfire** and **Uncle Beer** , two low-level minions of EVIL, both filled with hate, enter, stage right_ **Coldie** : Whatcha dooin’? **Uncle Beer** : They’re banning someone, stoopid! That’s what they do! **Coldie** : I knew that, butthead. I meant who were they banning? **Uncle Beer** : Then why di’n’tya say so? \ ***Coldie** pokes **Uncle Beer** in the eyes, Three Stooges style. **Uncle Beer** grabs **Coldie** ’s nose between the index and middle fingers of his left hand and smacks his left hand with his right, yanking **Coldie** ’s nose. A scuffle breaks out.\> **Tuba** gestures and suddenly there’s a tremendous explosion. **Coldfire** and **Uncle Beer** are shaken. They seperate.\* **Lynn** : Enough! We need to decide who to ban. And _she glares at **Tuba** _ **Lynn** : we can’t just pick someone at random. _SOME_one doesn’t want us to. **Coldie** : How 'bout **Esprix**? **Tuba** : Too popular. And he’s a member of the Clique, so he’s exempt. **Lynn** : What about **Scylla**? **Tuba** : Too unpredictable. Who knows what he’d do? We might find our networks infested with killer Nazi groundhogs riding motorcycles while juggling a chainsaw. Besides…he’s a member of the Clique too. **Uncle Beer** : **SPOOFE**! That bastard! Let’s ban him! **Tuba** : Clique again, plus you saw what he did to his **bo Diddly** …you wanna chance him doing that to you? **Uncle Beer** \: Never mind! **Polycarp**? **Tuba** : No…too well liked and besides…he’d probably forgive us for doing it. Besides…apparently he’s a [saint](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=93223). I don’t know if our powers of e-vil work on him any more. **Coldie** : **JarBabyJ**? **Tuba** : No, Clique again, and do _you_ want her to curse us back? **Uncle Beer** : **Gobear**? **Tuba** : Too tough. He could beat us up. **Coldie** : **Anthracite**? **Tuba** : Too smart and she knows too much about how the Board works. _An evil grin appears on **Lynn** ’s face_ **Lynn** : I’ve got it. It’s perfect! **Tuba** : \: Who!? **Lynn** : That jerk **Fenris**! He’s always giving our secrets away and he’s not an official member of the Clique! **Coldie** : He’s not? **Lynn** : No! That’s the beauty of it! He revealed their secrets [once](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=59004) and now _they won’t let him [in!](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=93447)_ **Tuba** : \ It’s perfect. Let’s do this thing! _Much rushing about as implements are gathered. A glowing green rock, a Davy Crockett coonskin cap, a yo-yo, something nasty from under **Coldfire’** bed, a foreskin from the Jack Dean Tyler memorial collection, one of the hamsters that died during the last board slowdown, etc. are all thrown into the pot. Tuba hushes everyone as she prepares **the Incantation of Banning** _ **Tuba** : HEY, HEY! HO! HO! Poster Fenris has got to go! **Everyone** : HEY, HEY! HO! HO! Poster Fenris has got to go! \ ***Lynn** raises her hands high as she makes the final mystic gesture and says the final word of banishmen… … … … … - ---

There is an Elite Clique?? I checked [Snopes](http://www.snopes2.com/) and [Urban Legends](http://urbanlegends.com/). Nothing about it there. So it must be so? Is this just another conspiracy theory? Just who is this **Elite Clique**? Imquiring minds want to know! ---
