Chester! Praise Jeebus, now I can shoulder this bloody roster maintenance back onto you! How was Roma? As good as Omaha? I hear they have some breathtaking ruins in Omaha, Rome had its work cut out for it. Please bore us to death with vacation photos. We're all spent from having to bore ourselves.
You didn't miss much, Herr Kopf. I'm happy to recap for you:
We decided that the constitution is an irrelevant, antiquated relic drafted by guys who would be the stupidest kids in your sixth grader's class, were you to have a sixth grader somewhere and I am by no means certain that you don't. They couldn't dial a rotary phone much less check their email on their ipads, would shoot your SUV as some sort of demon from hell, thought leaches could cure scarlet fever...and they'd think we were the ones who're stupid for adhering like children to a dead document drafted to suit times and conditions in a completely different world 230 years ago. "George! Ben! Get over here! You won't believe what these morons still abide by!! No Sh*t, it's that thing we wrote to help hold off the friggin' Brits! Oy vey!!" But we also decided that it's fundamental to American life as we know it that we keep it exactly as we know it (just in case the redcoats show up again) until not only China but every other nation on Earth overtakes us in every meaningful category...because they understand the importance of change and we understand the importance of stagnancy. All this will be fine as long as we're safely stroking our guns. The second amendment, it turns out, is the lynch pin of our freedom since so many occasions have cropped up when we had to pull our Glocks out of our sock drawers and rise up to prevent a corrupt, fascistic government from enslaving us. Happens all the time, it's the guns that keep us safe from rapacious pricks in DC lining their pockets at the expense of blacks, Hispanics and women. Who knew?
We also agreed unanimously that I use my Moderator power to ban at least one M.O.M a day until there's no one left but me. The only criteria is that it's someone who pisses me off. in other words, everyone in the entire squad except Susi-Harakiri and M4rtin. And I'm not so sure about M4rtin.
So, really, nothing much happening, just business as usual. Muck's species change surgery went off without a hitch. He makes a lovely sheep. Tex tried to bar-b-cue himself when all the rest of the meat in Texas was gone, so there's a free slot on the roster if you know anyone who'd like to join and get banned.
The M.O.M Anthem contest is coming along as expected; nobody is doing anything about it, particularly me. At this rate it'll be Sput's 1970's Russian Lololololol guy. That's something to look forward to, y'bet.
Welcome back, CL. The nuthouse hasn't been quite as nutty without ya.
