Recently it came to light that there will be four of us left staying in Japan for the 3rd year of the JET program. Will, Pete, Roy, and myself are all taking the plunge. That being known, I thought "gee, we need a cool name or something." Hence it came to me: The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen! So with little fuss (the fuss would be on Roy's end) the name was approved though we have yet to have a cool secret handshake. These things take time, you know.
But do you know what the first order of business was? Mutiny! The members got together and outvoted me, 3-1, in order to force me to get a Live Journal account. If you know me, you know that in the core of my soul, I hate Live Journal. Hating it was almost like a personal religion of mine. And yet, here I am, the shameful owner of a shiny new account. Go me?
The first order of business was to relegate all blog-silliness like memes (still hate that word) and other nonsense to LiveJournal. The "real" posting will still go on here.
Without further ado, Live Journal memeage!

Who decided on the name again?
I wasn't even in the room.
Ugh. Stooooopid.

Hey, if you can contribute to the vote to outvote me into getting a cursed LiveJournal account, you can be outvoted in naming of the group! Besides, it's way cooler than Matt's "fourskins" idea.

Well, I didn't actually vote in full faith that you would succumb. Further, "It's better than Fourskins" fails to impress as an endorsement.

That's not how you spell my idea.
Posted by: Matt | January 30, 2006 8:55 PM
Regardless of spelling, it was a bad idea.
