Another update on our beloved Orly
http://siln.livejournal.com/237031.html, QWP:
Cut for the f word, if anyone really cares: Things have been mostly quiet around the office with regards to the Name the Owl contest, although the deadline for submissions was extended until tomorrow... presumably in case we got a last second epiphany regarding our symbol of empowerment.
I'll admit it... we're not sure where to go next with the whole thing. A group of the guys and I have been talking over lunch, brainstorming new ways of showing our loyalty to Orly, but few ideas have much merit. There IS talk of creating an Orly secret society. Buuuut, those sorts of things require remote lodges, secret handshakes, blood pacts and shady banking. The reason this is a problem is because we don't own any lodges, can barely tie our shoes, are squeemish about our own blood, and bad at math.
The good news is that our initiative to write a new Anthem of Loyalty to Orly continues apace. Non-Caucasian Co-Worker is composing the lyrics. The bad news is that, at the moment, they are incomplete, and for some reason unknowable to man or beast, it must be sung to the tune of the national anthem of the Soviet Union. It goes something like this:
O, Orly's an o-wl
Orly's an o-wl
Soft be his down and
Mighty his claws
He does not fear Yarly
Nor ev'n snake on planes
(something something something)
Srsly he pwns
I can't decide if I should encourage him or not.
Tomorrow, I fly out of town on vacation, but I have left my email address with my co-worker in case i miss the announcement of the naming. I've done all I can for Orly. I'm going to sit back and see if the fucker flies.
