We ain't got no secret society of our own. I submit that we need one. So i want to establish the MPOI--the Malevolent Predictable Order of Ilks. Now this just makes sense. We all know the other guys are ilks, and we know they are evilly inclined, so they're malevolent. We just know what they're gonna say before they even say, that's one of the ways we can identify them as ilks. So that's what we've got, informally, anyway--a malevolent predictable order of ilks. So let's make a regular thing of it.
Now, the first problem we're gonna have is the handshake. How are we gonna come up with a handshake, seein' as how this is all just agitated electrons, and whatnot?
Hmmmmmmmm........that is a difficult one....
We might have to have a seemingly random and ever changing dot pattern...

Good idea, you work on that . . .
Now, elaborate costumes . . . whaddaya think? Superfluous? I mean, how will we know if everyone is really wearing their hats, or just faking it?
And, wears you well, dlowan.
What about cards? I wanna be a card carrin' member. Can we get cards?
Cards......hmmmmmmmm............wouldn't that be asking for trouble?
Aren't we a secret ilk?

I think we should all get avatars which look normal to the unaided eye, but in which the word "ILK" appears when you put on those 3-D glasses they used to hand out at the horror movies.
Ooooo . . . good idea, KW . . .
But, of course, that's just the sort of thing i'd expect from your ilk . . .
Oh, this sounds a very exclusive club! I guess not just anyone can be a member?
Well, we don't have a winking kitty yet . . . are you now, or have you ever been, a member of an ilk?
No, totally ilk-less till now.
(Um, trade union membership is no problem, I presume? That's the closest I've come to belonging to anything much at all! :wink: )
Only identifying handshakes or other such within one's own cell though.
Can we call ourselves "The Ilk Club"?
Double hard 'ca' sound....doesn't flow.
It's an ilk wind that blows nobody any good....
On Ilkley Moor baht aht....
I'm an ilk, I'm an ilk
But my ma won't admit it,
I'm an ilk, I'm an ilk, I'm an ilk,
I'm an ilk, I'm an ilk, I'm an ilk, I'm an ilk,
But if I say I am I get it....
You've been sprung Set

Trans: On Iklley Moor without a hat - or at least that was I was told by a Yorkshireman once.
I feel much the same about clubs as did Groucho - and I imagine the feeling is pretty much reciprocated.
Thinking of critter clubs, my dad belonged to just about all of 'em; Lions, Elks, Moose, Eagles - mom used to say "Your dad won't be here for dinner tonight; he's out frolicking with the woodnymphs."
