Member initiation poll...

rhody

I don't know about the rest of you, but the fish slapping thing is getting a little old in the tooth for me, just as is the constant surprise Rick Rolling links.

I would like to suggest an open discussion on new methods for welcoming new members. I think as one of the best non-profit science forums on the web we can up our game. With the mental firepower we can muster this should not be all that difficult. But, having said that, I may live to regret it. After all, I predicted that tropical storm Irene would be a mild event, and you know how well I did with that prediction. Can we rise to a challenge ?

The fish slap is a time honored ritual, it only happens in GD. We've tried low carb offerings, cereal, etc...

Some rituals we do not mess with, so no, I do not wish to change it.

Bad Pengy,

See if I ever stick up for you again, remember the thread, "where do penguin's go when they die?"

P.S. Don't you ever sleep, you post a lot in the wee hours of the morning ?

ACK !!! That is almost as bad as Rickrolling, that gives me a headache too, looks like others have posted that video speeded up to a mercifully quick ending.

So we're agreed, it's either fish slapping or rick roll'ing.

I suggest that Greg set up the forum so that whenever a crackpot logs on, these two videos are all they can see and they can't stop them without shutting their computer off.

That's so over the top evil that I start to like this suggestion

Add these videos:
