LOL!!

Now this is what we need...... a "Clown Survival List" for the coming BK. About time this thread got down to something important.

All right all CF zoners, a dozen Tim Horton donuts (or local equivalent) is the prize, donated by an overly philanthropic Earlie, to the best single idea or item added to this important list. Voting to take place next Friday night. All thread members have a single vote, (even Myth) and you can't vote for your own item. Submit as many items or ideas for the list as you want.

This is a big and important project as there are a lot of clowns who are in danger of de-listing from the planet. Take this task seriously as your neighbours, and even family members may need this list in the near term.

I will need some help. To that end, the following tasks have been arbitrarily assigned.
- I will assist all thread members east of the Quebec border with their spelling of words with more than one syllable. I will also edit the final list.
- Luc will give each contributor a free "get out of Jail/banned" ticket for future use as an incentive to participate. In addition, he will check each submission for inappropriate profanity or off-colour phrases.
- Myth will condense any submissions that do not fit into a single line or sentence.
- Heinz will translate any foreign language (including south U.S.A.) submissions.
- CB will mediate any disputes arising among list contributors (no petitioning to higher courts will be allowed).
- DAK will be assigned to counsel contest losers who become emotional, (ERG to assist in this).
- MB will arrange for international distribution of "The Clown Survival List" poster to all brokers as well as brokers-in-training. This should be an excellent route to ensuring that "The List" has impact.
- Ant will check the entire web for any imitations or conflicts (All languages,and all jurisdictions please, even if this requires an additional 45 seconds of HSE activity).
- Fleck will provide final proof reading of "The List" to ensure proper spelling, punctuation and grammar (we want this list to reflect well on its creators).
- Meehan will publicize the coming availability of the list through the several hundred media channels at his command.
- Allan will chart the impact of the list on global Clown behavior minute by minute next week (including "after hours" markets) as we assemble the list (there are many lurkers) with a view to assigning an appropriate weighting to each list item. The resulting charts and discussion of same to be made available to all thread members.
- Joel will arrange and donate appropriate "ledge" gift certificates for superior list item submission providers.

Let's all get busy as we want to make sure that "The List" is available before it becomes irrelevant.

When completed, I will compile all the better items and submit same to SI for dissemination to all other SI posters as our contribution to clown survival. (g)

I've probably forgotten many other important tasks that must be performed in this important project, hence thread posters are encouraged to suggest additional tasks/assignments for individual threadsters. (g)

Best, Earlie
