Okay, initiates, get your tushes out here. Now. I've just been dumped, and Signora told me I need to help torture initiate some of you the way I used to...
The sooner you get here, the better MY part of the initiation will be for you.

I'm seeing the infinity sign when I go directly to the math html page, but your link shows that other thingy. I just went back and looked again to be sure. ¥ yen & yen ; (Without the last two spaces because it doesn't come out the same when I preview if the last three items are typed together.) is what I just copied from that site for the yen symbol. Could it have anything to do with the use of different browsers? I use Yahoo through IE6, but I seem to recall that you use Firefox or something. On the item in your first link, it says "infinity" but has the other symbol. When I look at my OP, I see an infinity sign, but when I go to my OP through your link, I see the yen. Gaaahhh!!! I give up.

I was on the right track. I'm hard-headed, as you know by now, so I went to the site again, and mystery solved. It might help if we could read!
Well, the explanation that the symbols may appear different depending on the system makes sense, as I'm using Safari on Mac OS X.

Squoval, thank you for dropping the lawsuit, for I am but a poor girl old lady. That old thread brought back some memories!
Mickey, I'm so glad to see you here! Forget the dumper, at least for the weekend, and have some fun with your friends here. You can do it! *hugs*

I have to keep reminding you folks - don't forget what you have to do with the naked mole rats, the Jello shots, the Lickitung, and the Georgian dancing ladies' hair.

Forsooth young Squoval. Perhaps thou art correct.
YeeMum, maybe it's just sick (The thread, I mean). Any suggestions?
I haven't been much help lately because I can't think of anything new to do. Perhaps the initiates have all read the past initiation threads and are simply (gasp!) bored.(?)
What to do, what to do? ::wringing hands in despair ::

All was quiet in initiation land…not a breeze was stirring, which made the tumbleweeds rolling across the initiation thread even more weird.
Sqoval looked sadly across the wasteland and sighed. He longed for the days when he was the Almighty Bitch, and he could make the initiates pick his next week’s wardrobe for him. When the mere utterance of the word, “MEH”, would make his initiate minions cower in fear and spew forth tasks. Now, the thread was barren.
The mole rats grew back hair, and demanded that shall from this point forward, be known as Hirsute Mole Rats.
Canuckistan looked in briefly, and for once the dancing chicken was stilled.
The sumos, with no-one to play with had become obsessed with”Kirstey Alley’s Sumo Wrestling 2007 “on the Xbox, and had sadly sunk into obesity.
Yee-mum fondled her whips with regret as she packed them away. How she missed those smileys for the pirate, someone would pay in lashes later on.
The anti-grav chamber hummed quietly, then was silent
Psuedo_Croat’s dancing troupe, looked miserably at each other’s hair, now dreadlocks, from lack of appropriate care.
The mouldy Jello shots just became mouldier.
guruwan2b wistfully, and not without a little bit of lust, rolled up her poster of Dread Pirate Woody, on “talk like a pirate day” of all days..
All seemed lost, until, like a meerkat on the horizon Disc Golf popped up and edited his post. Well done mate, but more tasks await.

I brought out the electric shaver with pride -- those naked mole rats were gonna get it this time! I labored away for hours on end clearing every little hair on their bodies (the hardest hairs were on the inside)! JELLLLOOOOOOO SHOTS! Moldy ones. Even better.
I sat down and prepared my NFBSK. This was, of course, my first time with a Lickitung. I was especially nervous seeing as one of my friends was named Nina. I slowly tried to press her image out of my mind as the deed was done.
In pure initiation style, it turns out Pseudo_croat replaced the chocolate sauce with gorilla glue. That was an interesting story to have to explain to the ER. Although I am rather lucky I did not taste the chocolate sauce first. , and the Georgian dancing ladies' hair.

Gorilla Glue? How did that get in there?!?!one?
OK, OK, this is the last time I'm painting miniatures at an initation. I even had some of the Georgian dancing guys help out - after giving them art smocks first, of course. Wouldn't want those pretty coats to get all dirty now, would I?

This is definitely too quiet for an initiation...
I don't like it. It's so quiet that I am expecting something frightening to jump out and attack. Just please don't let anybody suggest that we should split up...
Its SO quiet I'm suprised the pirate turned up, and I think I just saw some tumbleweed blow past.
If we need new challenges (though naked mole rats and ugly dresses were good enough in my day. *sniff*) can people be encouraged to participate in the photo challenges - that should scare scar people. And if they don't have cameras we can wire their eyelids open and force them to watch slideshows of SatansHobbit and Trollface in increasingly compromising positions.
Or is that too cruel even for an initiation ?

Welcome. Pull up a naked mole rat and get uncomfortable...
I think you arrived a bit late for this one - so unless you can complete all the previously set tasks by tommorrow you may be better off joining next months iniation for a full 31 days of hell.
