I'm starting a gang of four-- we will be VERY INFLUENTIAL....

[mike_c]

Applicants for the other three slots must post a brief explanation of why they should be admitted. This is a very exclusive offer, and won't be repeated. My ego is big enough to occupy all four membership slots, so MAKE IT GOOD, applicants!

[leftofthedial]

1. you'll be influential

but no one will actually listen to you

[sparky_in_ma]

17. Sorry, but this must be done

My Lord Mike_C had commanded it.

[leftofthedial]

22. I smell something burning . . .

[sparky_in_ma]

23. You will be missed

:cry:

[leftofthedial]

30. you mean by the flamethrower?

Name other bands that become more influential and widely respected after they had already been around for a long time or after they were no more . . .

[sparky_in_ma]

36. Hmm.......

Oasis!:D

[leftofthedial]

41. Nooooooooooooooooo!

<blows own brains out>

[mike_c]

29. bwahahahahaha....

You're in. Sparky, Minister of Toast.

[sparky_in_ma]

31. Your wish is my command

[Solly Mack]

2. Do dust bunnies qualify?

[mike_c]

45. depends on the field of supplicants....

I mean applicants.

[Faygo Kid]

3. I am Madame Mao, reincarnated.

Should merit consideration, at the very least.

[mike_c]

5. that's a big-time leg up....

We need a cultural revolution around here.

[Zuni]

33. 10 percent of all DUers are secret freepers! they must be re-educated

through humiliation and savage beatings by extremist youths

[mike_c]

42. damn! That's the spirit!

You are lacky #1 in charge of the camps. Gather information quickly to protect yourself from purges.

[Zuni]

46. Heck, I am eating my former comrades right now!

I am mad with power I tells ya!

[Faygo Kid]

64. Wash them down with a little red book - or wine.

All Power to the Indigestible Proletariat!

[crispini]

4. Me! I'll apply!

Reason why I should be accepted: I don't give a sh*t whether or not I get accepted. :evilgrin:

[mike_c]

8. your application was immediately disqualified....

I might reconsider it if you resubmit it on the back of a large denomination bill.

[crispini]

10. Hang on, lemme wipe my a** with this first...

ok, there ya go. Thousand dollar bill. How's that work for ya? :evilgrin:

[mike_c]

19. hmmmm, what's that suspicious stain...?

SKIDMARK!

[sparky_in_ma]

6. Submitting application

You'll need a minister of defense, and I will have your back for you. I'm perfectly happy staying in the number two spot, while guarding you from attempted coups.:patriot:

[mike_c]

11. your application has moved to the top of the pile....

Please prove your worth during phase two of the supplication process-- er, I mean application process-- by killing the DU'er who posted response #1.

[crispini]

14. I thought *Zuni* WAS the minister of defense?

Or am I getting my fantasy lives confused? :crazy:

[sparky_in_ma]

20. Zuni was purged

by Matcom Lord of Hellfire Lesbians.

[crispini]

34. Damn! I'm always so behind the times.

Got a programme? I can't keep the players straight! :P

edited to add: HEY. You're moonlighting, Mr. KOEB Security! Don't think this won't get noticed! :P

[Zuni]

43. Lies! The Lounge is being kept safe and peaceful by Defense Minister

Zuni

BTW---he was found not guilty in his trial for crimes against humanity, canniabliam, genocide, and frotteurism. It seems that after the first jury (bastard lying tools of the oppressors) *vanished* mysteriously, the new jury could not see any evidence supporting a conviction.

[sparky_in_ma]

44. I always wanted to be on the ground floor

of an up and coming rebellion.:evilgrin: As the new Minister of Toast, I'll need assistants who know how to use furry handcuffs.

[crispini]

48. Oh, well, in THAT case.....

Need some wood? :evilgrin:

[sparky_in_ma]

49. Got that now.

:wow:

[crispini]

53. LOL!

"If you're scoring at home.... or if you're alone..." Sparky's up one. :7

[sparky_in_ma]

55. You are my favorite assistant

(don't tell the others);-)

[crispini]

59. You and Botany...

you both say such sweeeet things! :evilgrin:

[Zuni]

51. You forgot Poland!

[Droopy]

7. I should be in the gang

because i can drink a twelve pack and still walk a straight line and also because I'm over 21 and can buy all of the other members beers.

[mike_c]

12. what kind of beer?

Yes, this is a test.

[Droopy]

16. Dos Equis, hombre

What else?

[mike_c]

21. OK, you advanced to Phase Two consideration....

A great microbrew that no one has heard of unless they live across the street from the brewpub would have scored higher.

[Droopy]

26. LOL!

This is one uppity gang we're talking about here. I'll tell you what, we could always go for the Brew Kettle in Strongsville, Ohio. They've got a brew called Arrogant Bastard that makes Guiness look like a pale ale.

[mike_c]

35. sorry, I'm the only arrogant bastard allowed in this gang....

You may aspire to the waiting list.

[Droopy]

38. Dammit to hell

I guess I'll have to go start my own damn gang. Watch out. We'll be watching you and will be armed with many Arrogant Bastards.

[DS1]

9. I can bring the ladies

where upon i will use your influence to make myself rich, leaving you forgotten to all but the most devoted fans

[mike_c]

27. oh that's fickle-- you'll be moved to the top of the enemies list...

...once the gang is fully assembled.

[evlbstrd]

40. Ooooh! I wanna be on the enemies list!

I'm used to it.

[mike_c]

52. your punishment is to NOT be on the enemies list....

Take that! We LIKE you, worm!

[evlbstrd]

54. Aw, crap.

Does that mean I'm sweeping the floors?

[mike_c]

57. nah, you get to be the gimp....

[evlbstrd]

60. A costume! Cool!

[enigmatic]

28. I know how to play "At Home He's A Tourist" on guitar..

And have actually played it live; how's that?

[mike_c]

Audition.

[enigmatic]

47. I only play w/ nothing but ascot on; is that cool?

if not, I'll try to find some socks!

[mike_c]

56. you wacky canucks....

There'll be no socks in this thread!

[lenidog]

32. I bring evil as my contribution

but my brand of evil is professionally done and done with a sense of style.

[mike_c]

39. evil is good....

These being the Bush years and all. War is peace, too.

[lenidog]

50. Exactly but style and professionalism is essential

or you end up like Bush.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

61. Hi Mike, sorry but I don't want to be in your gang!

My mom would have a heart attack if she heard that her 61 year old daughter was a gangster!

I'll stand back, and laugh maniacally!


:kick:

[mike_c]

62. we could let you be a groupie....

Or a gangie.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

63. LOLOLOL!

Maybe...baybeee....:evilgrin:

[JanMichael]

65. I'm a member of several subversive Leftist groups which I could liquify.

Only the dissenters of course.
