The beginning of a beautiful organization...in instant messages

last night...

stareyed_lady: Oh, god. Silliness reigns.
holly_lama: As usual. Would you have it any other way?
stareyed_lady: Nope.
holly_lama: Someday, silliness will not just reign, but rain. Wouldn't that be cool? If silliness rained?
stareyed_lady: That would be awesome! What would silliness look like, raining down from the clouds?
holly_lama: I think it would have to be shiny. Multi-colored. Flourescent.
stareyed_lady: Itwould be sticky.
stareyed_lady: Sort of plasma-like
holly_lama: Yeah, that'd be cool...
holly_lama: It could glob onto things. People. Especially people outside just to enjoy the silliness.
stareyed_lady: So we would get silliness all over us and it would be impossible to wash off. So then we would have an excuse for the way we act.
holly_lama: Right!
stareyed_lady: yea for silliness!

holly_lama: Silliness rains.
sjeanneenan: It does. Al told me
sjeanneenan: Anyone getting caught in a silliness shower would be intersting to behold
holly_lama: Yeah, since silliness is multi-colored, flourescent, sticky plasma.
sjeanneenan: Right....but think what they would do!
holly_lama: They would be silly, of course.
holly_lama: Like us...

sjeanneenan: I think they should have silliness week
holly_lama: We should start one.
holly_lama: Go around with signs saying "Practice random acts of silliness!"
sjeanneenan: Yes! We could make badges and buttons!
holly_lama: Yeah!
sjeanneenan: I want a button that says practice random acts of silliness
holly_lama: Me too!
sjeanneenan: I am writing it on my backpack

stareyed_lady: We could have silliness officers who wrote tickets for people who weren't being silly enough.
holly_lama: That's cool!

holly_lama: Ooh, silliness officers!
sjeanneenan: me me me me me me!!!! Can I be one??????
holly_lama: Of course.
holly_lama: We'd get to appoint them, after all.

stareyed_lady: I should put that somewhere. "Practice random acts of silliness!"
holly_lama: SJ says she's putting it on her backpack.
holly_lama: I like that idea.
stareyed_lady: I do too. That would be cool. making our own buttons.
holly_lama: I know!
holly_lama: Hand them out to people. We could probably convince the campus it was a reall thing.
stareyed_lady: Probably.
holly_lama: Sponsored by the Silliness Society, or something.
stareyed_lady: Or something.
holly_lama: Yeah.
stareyed_lady: PFTFOS
stareyed_lady: People For The Furthering Of Silliness
stareyed_lady: Too hard to say
holly_lama: Maybe it should be "Advancement" of silliness.
stareyed_lady: Maybe
stareyed_lady: PFTAOS?
holly_lama: Maybe we'll have to think about it. We're stil perfecting the concept.
stareyed_lady: Right. It needs some work.
holly_lama: It's sitll in the early stages.
stareyed_lady: It should be a pronouncable acronym.
stareyed_lady: We'll all work on the silliness thingy and have another conference.
holly_lama: Good idea.

this morning

stareyed_lady: Sarah Jean and I came up with a name for our organization.
stareyed_lady: SOFAS
stareyed_lady: Society Of Folks Advancing Silliness.
