Well, guys, it's time for the Poobahs to consolidate our power yet again. The stars are right, the Oblivion Machine is primed, and the bake sale has concluded. That means it's time for the virgin sacrifice that keeps us in power.
We're still not sure what method of sacrifice we'll be using this year. The Altar of Bones has been used more than any other method since this forum got started, and it has a certain elegant simplicity to it...tie him/her to the altar, use a knife, break for coffee and brownies. However, I'm personally pulling for a Volcano Drop again this year...we've only done it once due to the plane ticket cost involved in going to Hawaii (they have the best volcanoes) but since one of those tickets won't be round trip I'm hoping we might have enough from the bake sale to do it again. Other methods are, of course, still on the table.
Now, the awkward part of the conversation that no one likes to bring up: selecting a virgin. As always, we'd prefer it if someone would just volunteer for once, it saves us the awkward trouble of having to hold a "random" lottery. And I know some year every guy asks "Why doesn't one of the Poobahs volunteer?" and I understand the resentment, I really do; but that's not how it works.
Anyway, I hope everyone's as excited as I am for the sacrifice. I got a new robe for it. It's red and green.
