This is what I did last night.

See, sometimes I get an idea in my head, and even if it's not all that great an idea, I'm still compelled to go through with it. Thus; I made a fraternity shirt. For the Mob. At the Depository of Assorted Fabulousness. Why? I dunno. Actually, it's more of a shirt for the Moab, because Omega is a long vowel in Greek, but whatever. It wouldn't have worked without the Omega. So... the quote on the crest is Babelfish Italian for 'Keep it in the family'. I should put something on the bottom of the crest, but I couldn't think of anything. Ideas welcome.

I know it ain't all that great, but I couldn't sleep anyway so I had to work on it. It's like a really great joke with a really poor punchline; making fun of the Mob, and fraternities, but the funny just isn't in great effect yet. Ah well.

Note that I don't hate the Mob or anything, on the contrary, while I disapprove of organized crime, I heartily approve of Mafia regulations on disorganized crime. That's one thing I like about the Mob, you don't often get stuff happening to Innocent Bystanders, except, maybe, increased cigarette prices. But they usually don't die from that. Usually. I've known a few exceptions; cigarette prices go up, they spontaneously explode. Whatever, they were smokers, so it's all for the best, right? So, yeah, the point is that having a Theives' Guild is a preferable alternative to the... um... alternative.

Frats, on the other hand, well, I just don't get at all. I mean, if they went around breaking the knees of punks who performed random street crimes, why, then I'd like them quite a bit. But no, it's just a sort of Best Friends Club for people who have no personality that's not alcohol-based. Maybe it's not like that when you get deep down into the brotherhood, after all the goats have been sacrificed and whatnot, but that's all I see. The sort of people I look down upon, and for those of you who haven't been taking notes, I'm a big fat unemployed Trekkie with no girlfriend or driver's license who spends his Friday nights watching Stargate: SG-1 and Stargate: Atlantis. That's right, two kinds of Stargate. Chevron Seven is locked, baby.

...

Okay, I was just literally disappointed when I searched for "Chevron Nine" because I thought it would be a great name for a Stargate fansite. I'm not the first to think that. At least a half a dozen sites of varying quality. There's even a "Chevron 26" which is just dumb. And German, actually. The point I'm trying to make is this: If I can go out of my way not to tell everyone I know about how Atlantis finally caved in and did that same damnable overhead shot that SG-1 always uses, even though I really want to, then I think it's only fair that the Mob take on Frat boys in some sort of battle royal. I mean 'Royale'. Okay Mafiosos, ready, set, go!



P.S., Okay, during the spellcheck before I published, Blogger picked up my typo: 'fratenity'. Note the lack of an 'r'. The suggested replacement: 'bartender'. How? What? Also, ha hah! Spelli the Czech has a sense of humor!
