OFFICIAL CHARTER OF THE M00SE ILLUMINATI
|
|
|
|
|
|
1) CHAPTERS: Each and every member of the M00se Illuminati is his or her own
|
|
chapter. He or she is also the Bull M00se (spiritual leader), Grand Poobah
|
|
(political leader), and treasurer (money-handler) of his own chapter.
|
|
Therefore, a chapter could be listed as such:
|
|
|
|
|
|
THE BILL DICKSON CHAPTER OF THE M00SE ILLUMINATI
|
|
|
|
Bull M00se: William R. Dickson
|
|
261 Newt Road
|
|
Aberdeen, CT 06011
|
|
(223) 699-1545
|
|
|
|
Grand Poobah: Billy Dickson
|
|
261 Newt Road
|
|
Aberdeen, CT 06011
|
|
(223) 699-1545
|
|
|
|
Treasurer: Bill Dickson
|
|
261 Newt Road
|
|
Aberdeen, CT 06011
|
|
(223) 699-1545
|
|
|
|
|
|
2) THRONGS: Any group of two or more chapters gathered together in one place
|
|
is a throng. The more chapters, the bigger the throng.
|
|
|
|
3) SYMBOL: The symbol is a four-sided, eleven-step pyramid with an eye in
|
|
the top step and a three-pronged antler on either side. It once was
|
|
thought impossible to draw with text characters, but a case of extreme
|
|
boredom one day was cured by the invention of a text-character symbol.

4) SECRET M00SE SIGN: Thumbs to side of head, fingers outstretched to simulate
|
|
antlers. Usually accompanied by the Secret M00se Call.
|
|
|
|
|
|
5) SECRET M00SE CALL: BL00P! (Taken from Bloom County.)
|
|
|
|
|
|
6) PURPOSE: To confuse, obfuscate, bewilder, and befuddle the masses.
|
|
|
|
|
|
7) POLITICAL AFFILIATIONS: Varies according to the chapter. The M00se
|
|
Illuminati as a whole will support any chapter's beliefs. Thus, the M00se
|
|
Illuminati may, at any given time, be supporting any number of contra-
|
|
dicting philosophies.
|
|
|
|
|
|
8) NEW MEMBERS: Any chapter can dub new members so long as it uses a silly,
|
|
meaningless ceremony that is made up on the spot to do so. It would be
|
|
very nice if the Bill Dickson chapter (DICKSON@HARTFORD.BITNET) were
|
|
notified so it could record the new member/chapter. This will allow the
|
|
Bill Dickson chapter to send all chapters any new information.
|
|
|
|
|
|
9) SECRET NUMBERS: The secret numbers of the M00se Illuminati are 11 (the
|
|
number of steps in the pyramid) and 13 (11 + two antlers). Be on the
|
|
lookout for these numbers, as they may hold some significance. Also watch
|
|
out for 31 (13 transposed) and 11 (11 transposed).
|
|
|
|
|
|
10) PLURAL: The plural of M00se is M00ses--NOT M00se, moosies, moosi, moosei,
|
|
moostachios, or Bim Skala Bim.
|
|
|
|
|
|
11) SLASHED 'O's: The 'O's in M00se, Bloop, and all other EXTREMELY m00sey
|
|
words are slashed: 0. This apparently originated in the opening credits of
|
|
Monty Python and the Holy Grail. Unfortunately, it is impossible to do
|
|
this with the lower-case on a computer. In fact, it is now difficult to do
|
|
it with the upper-case, as most computers no longer have slashed zeros. We
|
|
use the zero where we would want a slashed 'o' anyway, to remind us that we
|
|
are making an attempt. Please draw the slashes in if you print a hardcopy.
|
|
|
|
|
|
12) FLEXIBLE RULES: Any of the rules may be changed except for numbers 1, 3,
|
|
4, 5, 10, and 11. If you attempt to change a rule in such a way as to
|
|
create a paradox, remember that m00ses don't care about paradox.
|
|
|
|
|
|
13) ALWAYS REMEMBER: Bloop! Bloop bloop? BL00P! Bloop? BL0000000P!
