Are we prepared for this? (Shades!)
I'm going to have to explain the whole raccoon/whale thing to how many new people?
Peace, Ceeboo
We have only 1000 place for them, exactly. (by def)
If it will be necessary, I will denounce all my sock puppets... (Shades knows them all, he banned the pics for all of them, even they didn't break the laws...)

Yeah, shades is exclusive and only allows 1000 members at any given time.
Sorry sucka's!

*IHAQ walks past the great and spacious Never Mo Building in downtown Sodthem. He hears much angst and discussion emanating from within about the recent Church policy banning the children of Never Mo parents from being baptized. IHAQ cautiously approaches wipes away some of the condensation from the grimy window. A one armed man is playing "The Raccoon and the Whale Went To See" on a battered, yellowed old upright piano in the corner. He notices a flyer on the wall MEET IN TEMPLE SQUARE SATURDAY TO DEMAND BAPTISM. IHAQ notices that the music has stopped and that everyone inside is staring at him. Oh. My. Heterosexual White Middle Class Male God. Thought IHAQ. They have no PUPILS! Realizing trouble is a brewing IHAQ scurries off for the weekly toilet cleanse ordinance with a sense of deep forebodination...*

We simply invent new reasons, new justifications, new explanations. Sometimes we ignore the evidence altogether.” (Mathew Syed 'Black Box Thinking')
Having had some time to think about the enormously large new crowd of people that will be joining us very soon, I have started the legal paperwork to protect my screen-licking cow.
In addition, I think we should consider tidying up the place a little before our new friends arrive. Surely, a few bottles of bleach, some random dusting, and picking up all the toys laying around here might be prudent action.
One thing I know for sure - We had better order a few extra cases of toilet paper this month - Do you have any idea how much crap 50,000 people will be bringing to this community?
