I have many leather-bound books and my apartment smells of rich mahogany.

From a webring I was involved with many moons ago:

If you were to form a gang right now, what would it be called? What would it do? What would your personal nickname be? What would you be known to be especially "hard core" at in your gang?

*RECRUITMENT NOTICE*

The High Stringers
Bringing You a 'Type A' Smackdown Since 1978

Feeling superior? Want to impose your rigid personal standards upon the populace at large? The High Stringers are looking for a few good tight-asses to enforce some persnickety criteria upon the poorly-dressed, bad-mannered, inefficient masses erroneously dubbed "humanity." If you lie awake at night planning "Lady, you need a bra!" interventions, spend your time editing personal ads, and become physically ill at the utterance of "supposably," we may be the gang for you. Send all inquires to "Spell Check" Maryment. Submissions must be sent via FedEx no later than 3:34 p.m. Friday afternoon, and must be printed on 11x17 inch, 20 lb. bond, goldenrod paper, single-sided, double-spaced, in 12 pt. Estrangelo Edessa font. Warning: Confuse 'its' and 'it's' at your own risk. Violators will be dragged into the street by "Spell Check" and beaten voraciously with the Hodges' Harbrace Grammar Handbook. Thank you for your interest! Now straighten your tie, clean your glasses, and dispose of this notice in the proper government-approved recycling facility.
