I own some land on Mercury, and I’m a member of a fan club for the band _Eerie Ln._. ---

It’s plenty authentic, brother bean. I haven’t found a good reason for having mine yet, but it is a fun thing to have. I’m also an atheist. I don’t expect to marry anyone or perform any last rites or anything, but you never know when you might have to reside over an emergency bris or something. Several years ago, some co-workers talked me into joining a fraternal group, E Clampus Vitus. The initial hazing was pretty horendous. It was a lot of fun (post-hazing, that is), but I haven’t been in at least 5 years. I’ve got a small bumper sticker from them though, and every so often someone honks at me and flashes the secret sign. ---

Rick, as an NDPer (in Quebec no less) it would ill behoove me to laugh. 🙂 Ooh! I know! I’m a member of the recurrent invitees to the Party At Ian’s Place, a recurring party/debauch/dance fest/orgy for geeks. It’s MUCH fun. There’s this thing called the tactile party where the host blocks all the light out of his upstairs loft, lays down mattresses, and everyone goes upstairs to roll around and grope each other in the total darkness. So far, I’ve met and had great times with three gorgeous queer geekbois through the PAIP. This Is A Good Thing. “Party At Ian’s Place. Come for the party… stay because you can’t find your pants.” ---
