SHEER NUMBER OF POSTS DENI! That's what it takes....so you'd better get busy!

What does it take to make a "cliquie"? (or cleeky for those who don't like Canajun spelling)

Well, there are certain words and phrases that you can sprinkle into those posts that'll have you knocking on the doors of exalted Cliquedom before you know it.

"Possum". Don't ask me why. There are some things that are simply beyond human understanding, but picture that small furry creature (the animal, NOT it's originator!) in all sorts of embarassing situations....and write, my child, write!

"Kendall". Get into an arguement with him about anything (tell him you think Taylors are for wusses) and keep it going for a few years.

"I'm Leaving"!!! Yup, that's a good'un. Works well even if you were only here for two minutes to begin with! Give any reason you want to for leaving, and I guarantee you'll get a hundred folks begging you to stay (witness "X ED" thread)

Start a "Thought for the day", "Joke of the day" "Diuretic of the day", "Marsupial of the day" thread. Something that will engender a loyal devoted following.

Don't do your line breaks!!! This is playing with fire, but if you've got the guts, go for it. Make Joe Offer interrupt his life at least 12 times a day to fix your poems and he'll either learn to love you, or kick you in the cojones! Either way....you'll be noticed.

Tell Doug R. he's too nice to be a REAL Republican!

Ask Big Mick if he's really as handsome in person as he is in his picture...and NEVER let on that the "cleekies" know he's only 5' 9".

Make out like you actually KNOW who Dave Bullmer is.

Ask MTed to name the "chord" formed by the notes C,D,Eb,F,G.

Ask Katlaughing about the state of liberal politics in Wyoming.

Ask Susan (WSSYGGWWSYW) if she knows the odd spititual.

Ask Gargoyle (preferably before 11pm) whether....ahh nahh, don't bother.

And finally...ask me "What's the best way to play an "F" chord"? Or even better..ask Harpgirl AND me "What's so special 'bout that Leadbelly guy"?

Rick (too weird to be a regular cliquie, but happy to be consigliare if needed)
