Brent,

 RR> I still rememeber my first meeting of the Royal Order of The
 RR> Wouf Hong.

  When they said "assume the position", it brought the house down in
raucous laughter.

  I have a photo of the Wouff Hong, the Rettysnitch, and the Ugerumph.
I understand that Vaseline is optional..and it looked like they might
make good scratchers (never mind a scratchy signal), because "the
severeity of the itch is proportional to the reach". I bought a deal
off of Amazon, basically a "back scratcher" that you could extend like
a portable antenna. Before that, I'd have to go find a wall to rub up
against. <G>

 RR> It didn't help that it was explained to me by a ham who was
 RR> prior service and when I asked what was I was asked if I have
 RR> ever participated in a Crossing The Line Ceremony.

  I don't recall the "crossing the line" terminology, but I will say
that inductees do get a nice certificate...and you will do a lot of
laughing. :)

 RR> In fact the reason I came in here tonight was to ask why the
 RR> heck a contest I worked last year, and I really want to see if
 RR> I can beat my score just happens to be scheduled on the weekend
 RR> I told myself I need to force myself out of the house!!

  I rarely leave the QTH anymore, as I can no longer drive or have a
car, due to dry corneas causing blurred vision without warning. But,
with a large amount of flu and RSV going around now, it's best that I
stay home with my hobbies.
