CF & HK: New DOOM brothers

[Drunk Monk]

As one of the founding five brothers of DOOM, I formally nominate Cranefly and Haggis Killer to be accepted as fully indoctrinated DOOM brothers. Both have proven themselves capable here on the forum. Cranefly has even hosted a DOOM gathering.

I hereby formally challenge any brotherhood member who might contest these nominations to meet me in the field of honor in our traditional combat rite - a DOOM strobe-light melee. As weapons, I'll battle you with either the Vulcan Lirpa or the traditional kung fu double duck-on-a-stick. Pantyhose weapons are strictly forbidden.

There. The Gauntlet is thrown. Any takers or are CF and HK in? I'll field any challengers after I get back from my vacation in Hawaii.

NOTE: Haggis Killer's membership should be approved, yet withheld until he actually shows up at a DOOM gathering, or until he invites us all to some posh Pixar event with celebrities, and open bar, cheesy snacks, and flirtatious cocktail waitresses. Come on, HK, we'll behave. We'll make ED promise not to bring any of his eye-rape videos.

[Haggis Killer]

I hereby formally accept the invitation to membership. Here's the thing, though. Wasn't there a posting of a photo somewhere along here that showed me in front of the Original Pantry along with a great number of DOOM members, including, at least, yourself, Greg, The Yeti and I think one or two other members? Three's a quorum in this league, isn't it?

As far as the Pixar invites with the drinks & short skirts, well, you'll have to quiz Mr. Yeti about that. Can't have you all at once, so long as I want to stay employed. Similarly, Greg shared a seat at a pre-Pixar excursion of like ilk. That's two in the money.

Come summer time, p'raps I'll be inspired to host a meat-a-thon at the pad. That's sure to pack 'em in. We'll watch cartoons. And no goddam barbie freakazoid crap, either.

[Drunk Monk]

I'm not sure being in a photo with DOOM counts as DOOM. Just think how many losers we'd have to included if it did.

As for the Pixar perks, well, it *was* Yeti and Greg's tales that inspired that idea. Two down, a horde of us to go. It might be easier to just show up at a DOOM gathering, but I'll still have the tux cleaned.

As for the meat-a-thon, don't tempt ED. He's been veg longer than I have and he's hornery. Ask Yeti about the great ED/DOOM/Tetsuo fiasco. There were plenty of fencers there. It was glorious. BTW, did I tell you the latest Barbie is in 3D? Note: perhaps by next summer, I'll be carnivorous again. All things are impermanent.

[Greg_phpbb3_import1]

The Hercules premiere rocked. I still have the sweatshirt they gave me.

As for group photos, here:



Aren't computers great?

And just to be fair to cranefly



I've got to take more pictures of young woman if that's part of the initiation.

[cranefly]

Wow.
Not to jump the gun, but I am flattered.
So, uh....

When can I start sending all of you Scientology literature?

--cranefly

[Drunk Monk]

Dang, and I was polishing my kung fu fighting ducks all night. Seriously, that was too easy. There should be some sort of initiation rites or something, shouldn't there? I'll bring the nacho cheese.

Nice pic, Greg. It reminded me of a rather pleasant breakfast when you weren't trying to get me all syruped up. The pic didn't back up your objection, tho. Do you really object? You'd cut forum participation by a third, at least. Think about that. If you still object, I'll go back to duck polishing. Seriously, those ducks will be so freakin' shiny, you'll see bling-bling chrome stars when I crack your noggin' with them.

We gotta get Derek on the forum here. He might be the next candidate for DOOM indoctrination. We'll need a lot more members before the Apocalypse, like a few hundred thousand more, and time is running out. First, he must pass the trial by forum.

Alright, I'm off to Hawaii and I plan to be no where near any computers until I return. Just coconuts for me, thanks. Have a safe and joyous solstice, my brothers (and queen).

[El Dingo]

The giving of Pez dispensers without Pez to fill them with bodes ill.

I suggest giving Cranefly a seat on the DOOM council without making him a DOOM knight.

On the other hand he did give us "Cutey Honey".

Ahh - What the hay! Bring them in!

[cranefly]

Within hours of posting my snide and insensitive remark about Scientology, I found a flyer on the front door:
Are you curious about yourself?
Fill out this FREE Personality Test

They know. I'm not certain if the house is bugged, or if I've got a chip in me. But they know.

Because it's been years since they bothered me, and that's because I haven't said anything about them. But then I had to open my big mouth.

So I better apologize for that remark. Okay?

Oh, and as for the Pez Fiasco, I suppose I oughta apologize for that too. But those Pez dispensers were acquired from a very weird antique shop. They were empty when I bought them. Honest. I didn't gobble up the contents. And they cost a hundred dollars each as they were.

Uh. Okay, maybe not a hundred. But altogether they cost more than a buck. So I'm not quite ready to apologize. Even if I did, I don't think the Pez Fiasco would go away. There's something magical about issues involving bright and shiny totems. They just don't resolve easily. So we'll just have to knock it around for a few years.

--cranefly

P.S. Holy shit! 200 questions. Boy, is my personality screwed all the fuck up.

[Legbone]

Well it is certainly time for new meat. I welcome the new brothers.

But I still want to fight Gene. He may kick the living snot of out me, but it would make some great video. Greg?

[Drunk Monk]

...didn't Legbone bring a vial of human blood to his first DOOM gathering? And didn't he drink some of it, then spit it out all over Greg's place? Then didn't he go about pouring it on cars with obvious Christian markings? And wasn't that my 21st birthday party - the Chinese New Year parade - when we barted in and some how wound up at the Eagle bar at Pier 32?

You newbies are in Legbone's wake.

The scariest part is that if my memory is correct about this, it was 21 years ago because I'm just about to turn double 21.

[Dr. Ivor Yeti]

Cranefly and HK should fight to the death, with the lone winner achieving the status of "member-of-DOOM" and the other achieving the status of, well, fertilizer. Am I too late with this? I guess I could challenge Gene to an eyebrow-duel. Or maybe my battle-haggis can defeat his Kung-Fu Ducks. Hmmmm...

[Drunk Monk]

but i'd cry 'uncle' at an eyebrow duel. you've got more forehead real estate. that's gives you too much latitude for manuevering. it'd be like trying to fence you in a gay club window again. not my turf and a sorry bet for the ol' drunk monk. nope. no way. it's ducks vs. haggis with you. or vulcan lirpa. wait, were the lirpa the bolos or the monk spades? i'll get back to you on the lirpa.

if the weapons are foils, put my money on hk.
if the weapons are hook bladed spears, put my money on cf.
