It’s official. Created by **QED** , I think… Whatever. It’s from that pit thread about the guy who was paid to leave. It was entertaining once, for about 20 minutes.

Anyway, the current roster is: **QED** , myself, [EddyTeddyFreddy], and some other people whose names I forget because I’m a fucking moron.

Anybody else want to join? Of course, you’d have to be a fucking moron not to 😃

Wait. Are you saying anyone who’s a fucking moron shouldn’t join? Or am I just a fucking moron? And does that mean I should join or I shouldn’t? Will there be pie?

I post questions in GQ that could (and will) be answered by a simple Google search. I also post MPSIMS threads that repeat what another poster already posted an hour ago.

Can I join?

Hey, wait a minute, I’ve done all of those things … oh, crap, I \*HAVE \* done all of those things! Aw, hell, sign me up.

No, no, no, on second thought – I don’t want to be part of a group with standards so low that it’d admit me. Fucking morons!

Maybe it’s best for me to sign up just as a precautionary measure. Then when somebody accuses me of being a FuMo, I’ll at least have the consolation of knowing the secret handshake.

Do we get decoder rings? Is there a secret handshake?  
How will I know if I’m accepted? What day is it?

May I suggest the Utinam Club for the gentleman of less than stellar acomplishment.

"Indeed, the name of the club explains its raison d’etre–Utinam, a Latin ejaculation  
equivalent to our ‘Would to Heaven!’ or ‘Would that I could be!’ To  
be eligible for membership in the Utinam Club, one must have had a  
distinct object or ambition in life and then have failed to realize it.”

It’s ironic that I’ve never seen another book by this author.

[The Gates of Chance by Van Tassel Sutphen](http://www.gutenberg.org/etext/3758)  
It’s like an American Sherlock Homes novel. Only this rich intellegent man believes in Lady Luck.

This is a trap. :eek:

Yeah right! Except that ‘utinam’ spelled backward is ‘manitu’! Which was the name of that evil doctor who killed Sherlock Holmes at Niagara Falls!

Nice try, **Harmonious Discord** – or should I say, ’ DrocsiD SouoinomarH ’ – aka COUNT DRACULA!

I don’t like fucking morons, I prefer wimmins of a higher intellectual level.

I guess that means I’m in by virtue of being out?

Why should I join your club when I have a perfectly good one of my own…
