[QUOTE=Ranchoth] I may be getting wooshed, but…why did you post a picture of the Japanese Minister of Art and Culture? [/QUOTE] Ahh, but that’s what you’re _supposed_ to think. It is indeed Mariah’s cousin Moriah (pronounced “Morey”), who fills in when Mariah is too [DEL]gorged[/DEL] tired from the last initiation. ---

From my time lurking, I’ve gathered that ‘Cephalopod’ + ‘initiation’ = . . . an in-joke of some kind. I’m afraid I can’t tell you any more than that (and being an in-joke, you’re not gonna get a straight answer from anyone who knows). ---
