Are we posessed?????? We do not want to be saved, thats part of it..... Isgard
"My only worry is that we've all been seduced by a secret cult:...sleep deprivation, ritual group activities done to exhaustion, devotion to the leaders (Frankie Manning / Steven Mitchell), the feeling that "we're special and having more fun than anyone else in the world", assigning undue importance to the minute details of cult activities (Bleyers vs. Keds, "Let go on 4 or 3 3/4?"), secret language ("5,6,7 and 8), and happy smiling members of the opposite sex luring new people to join the group. Oh my God, we're now all members of the Secret Lindy Cult!
When's the next meeting?
