So how come **Iceland\_Blue** gets to be initiated already? Am I too old to be a brat? Is that the deal? ---

> [@harmless](#): > > : snort : > Like _that’s_ something to brag about. 😉😛 Well, not that I’m one to brag about the fact that I am the leader of one of the hippest, coolest groups around. Did I mention we were hip…and cool…and I’m the big daddy. 😛 > [@PussyCow](#): > > So how come **Iceland\_Blue** gets to be initiated already? > > Am I too old to be a brat? Is that the deal? **Iceland\_Blue** has yet to ask to join the Brat Pack. He wishes to initiate **AngelicGemma** , with chocolate ice-cream over the :eek:'s, not to be initiated himself. But, alas, it is only I who will be performing such dairy based rituals… [Homer J. Simpson]MMMmmmmm…dairy based rituals…[/HJS] And by this: > [@AngelicGemma](#): > > But only Tick gets to do the initiation. He is the leader of the Doper Brat Pack, after all. I believe that that is a written agreement for dairy based rituals right there. 😃 But as a condolence, when **Iceland** has “payed his dues”, so to speak, I would welcome a request to join the prestigious Brat Pack. 🆒 And **PussyCow** , you are only as old as you feel in this game, so if you feel like a brat then you’re more than welcome to try the initiation. Which means I’ll have to start thinking up an initiation thread for you, possibly **Iceland\_Blue** and I think I still have to initiate someone else…I’ll get back to you on that one. ---
