An invitation

It has come to my attention that during lockdown, everyone is getting understandably tired of being surrounded by their families all the time. For a slight change of pace, I invite you to become a temporary honorary member of mine. However, we are a judgy people. To join the cult you must fit all of the following: 1: watch [i]Waiting for Guffman[/i] and [i]O Brother Where Art Thou[/i]. You will be expected to quote these movies incessantly. Two: Acquire a taste for Weezer and Rush. Also Irish folk music and a few old country songs but no John Denver [i]except[/i] Country Roads because I’m pretty sure it’s a hate crime to dislike that song. 3: if you’re bad at Scrabble you will be hunted for sport 4our: bratwurst. Kielbasa. Creole beef. Pierogis. My dads hamburgers. If you dislike any of them you will be immediately disowned and will not receive your inheritance. Fifth: have a thing. We’ve already got musicians, photographers, engineers, video game people, artists, doctors, rebellious teenagers that have a warped sense of self-worth, whimsical fairy children, exceptionally weird children, chubby ones, and mean ones. Bring your own thing to the table. No copying. 6ix: you gotta lift. Thems the rules. Don’t need it? Don’t want to? Too bad. Squat or find a new temporary honorary family. You WILL have chunky legs whether you like it or not. Seven: pick a sibling. Now they’re your rival. Current ones open for a rivalry are the second oldest brother and the 4 year old. Don’t bother trying to rival the 4 year old, you will lose every time. 8: you have to laugh when dad does a silly walk through the room and says “this is how I walk now.” He knows it’s not funny. You know it’s not funny. You have you laugh. NEIN: be just a little bit of an asshole all the time. Just enough to make things interesting. Will I chase you with a blunt bread knife? Who knows? Will you lock me in the garage during a thunderstorm? Possibly. Feeling safe is dull, just like this breadknife. Ten: in a list like this you might expect the 10th step to be something like “always remember to love each other” or “have fun” but that’s stupid and boring and too predictable. For the 10th step, learn all the words to Dani California and you are required by law to sing it anytime it’s played.

        • Too confusing and consuming. Scientology and Mormonism are cults that require considerably less. I’m going with them. Sorry but you just lost out on a stud of a recruit.

        • Loved Guffman and everything Cristopher Guest did but hated Brother. My best ever squat in a competition was 720 but that was on roids, clean it was 550. Love Rush hate weezer. Pierogi's are great and its sweet that you're dad graduated from the ministry of silly walks. Good day.

          • [quote]1: watch [i]Waiting for Guffman[/i] and [i]O Brother Where Art Thou[/i]. You will be expected to quote these movies incessantly.[/quote] I should probably watch those eventually... [quote]Two: Acquire a taste for Weezer and Rush. Also Irish folk music and a few old country songs but no John Denver [i]except[/i] Country Roads because I’m pretty sure it’s a hate crime to dislike that song. [/quote] Weezer’s good, Rush is absolutely amazing. Irish folk is good, I don’t listen to it to often but I like it. And I [i]only [/i] like older country, new country sickens me. [quote]3: if you’re bad at Scrabble you will be hunted for sport [/quote] I’d say I’m pretty good. [quote]4our: bratwurst. Kielbasa. Creole beef. Pierogis. My dads hamburgers. If you dislike any of them you will be immediately disowned and will not receive your inheritance. [/quote] Mmmmmmm [quote]Fifth: have a thing. We’ve already got musicians, photographers, engineers, video game people, artists, doctors, rebellious teenagers that have a warped sense of self-worth, whimsical fairy children, exceptionally weird children, chubby ones, and mean ones. Bring your own thing to the table. No copying. [/quote] This ones hard because I’m a musician, but I am a man of many talents. So I’d be “that one guy who brings his backpack everywhere and is always a loaded arsenal” because that is what I am in my irl fiend group. You need a knife? I got you. You need an axe? I got three! You want a katana to slice shit up? It’s attached to the back of my backpack! [quote]6ix: you gotta lift. Thems the rules. Don’t need it? Don’t want to? Too bad. Squat or find a new temporary honorary family. You WILL have chunky legs whether you like it or not. [/quote] I already do. It’s part of my routine. [quote]Seven: pick a sibling. Now they’re your rival. Current ones open for a rivalry are the second oldest brother and the 4 year old. Don’t bother trying to rival the 4 year old, you will lose every time. [/quote] I guess I’ll pick the second oldest brother? [quote]8: you have to laugh when dad does a silly walk through the room and says “this is how I walk now.” He knows it’s not funny. You know it’s not funny. You have you laugh. [/quote] I mean...my dad does stupid stuff like that all the time and I still laugh like I’m 8. [quote]NEIN: be just a little bit of an asshole all the time. Just enough to make things interesting. Will I chase you with a blunt bread knife? Who knows? Will you lock me in the garage during a thunderstorm? Possibly. Feeling safe is dull, just like this breadknife. [/quote] I’m known to be quite an asshole at times. [quote]Ten: in a list like this you might expect the 10th step to be something like “always remember to love each other” or “have fun” but that’s stupid and boring and too predictable. For the 10th step, learn all the words to Dani California and you are required by law to sing it anytime it’s played.[/quote] [i]Sigh[/i]...ok I’ll do it for the greater good.

                [quote][i]O Brother Where Art Thou[/i][/quote] Wow, it’s been a long time since I’ve heard that name. So I also have no quotes from it. Would Spaceballs work?
