    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.    
      
    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.
