C(&F)itizenship Test

What questions should we put on a test to see if people really understand what it means to be a part of Chiffandfippledom?

Here’re a few…

  • What percentage of people on the Forum are Cutie Pies?
  • Did Captain Kirk play a Ressikan Flute?
  • What font is used in the C&F logo?
  • What is Binky the Wonder Possum’s middle name?

Who are the crystal people?

Who’s the neatness freak with exact measurments to their refrigerator?
Who was Station’s favorite singer?
What’s the best high end whistle?
What the “blue tack” tweak?

*****Explain backpressure in 10 words or less.
*****List all former names of the “Apology Repository” … in the correct order.

  • How many licks does it take to get to the Tootsie-Roll center of a Spillane?
  • Why must we be like the palm tree?
  • How many disputes can the Undisputed stop by the time disputers start to spout sputum?

Shouldn’t that be “Why MUST we be like the PALM TREE?”

Ooops, it should actually be: why “MUST” member’s “be”, like the palm, TREE?

Why is “Become like the palm tree.” so funny?

That’s it, hand over your citizenship papers.

(I’d explain, but I might incur the wrath of a certain tsc. Suffice it to say
that a certain user was well know for vitriol, and ironically had a “go
with the flow” sort of signature which invoked the palm tree imagery.
I’ve already said too much

)

It refers to a posting style which takes equal parts confrontationalism, peckishness, and condescension, and slathers them over with a air of new-age platitudes. (applauded by a loyal court of sock puppets.)

The short answer is “irony”

The long answer involves he how is most unlikely to be like the palm using it in his siggy.

We were discussing the questions, not the answers… :laughing:
