Falafels? Kebabs? Extra garlic sauce? You guys are not taking my demands seriously are you! I am having a major social injustice of apocalyptic proportions vanquishing my worth as an equal citizen and you guys are hungry. Now listen to me very carefully, IT'S ALL ABOUT ME!!! Not your rumbling stomachs...

By the way, I think someone owes me an icon! Surely I can't be the only 5 year member here? Come on comrades, we can't lose if we band together and make our demands heard loud and clear.

Anyone with less than 5 years need not apply as you are not worthy of anything but the scrapings off Big Damo's shoes...

I'm member number 86.. That's right, the 86th person to join AFF.

I demand two things:

- I demand a badge denoting my status as one of the founding members, and so therefore everything I post should be taken as gospel.

- I also demand some sort of awesome badge for having the same number as Maxwell Smart.

Please see that this happens. ASAP

Russ did actually ask me to create a 5yr badge (which I have) when I created the 10yr one but I am not sure I sent it to him. Will have to check it when I get home....but having said that....time to re-think the design after reading this thread!

Seeing as you asked so nicely, we'll let you become a Donating Member. Then you'll have an icon to show your friends and Family.

But wait............ if you become a DM this week you'll also get your username in Purple and a discount to race in the AFF Drags at Heathcote this weekend ! Double bonus

Erm, you've been here 5 years and you need to ask this question?

If you want to feel a lot better, go out and discriminate against someone.

Here is an approved list. Amendments welcome. Go out and abuse one now. Use suitably foul language. Twitter and Facebook are also good.

1. Cardinal Pell
2. Other Roman Catholics
3. Young men
4. Old men
5. Fatties (including fat wimmin)
6 Old women
7 People who smoke tobacco (but not pot, meth, ice etc - they are victims)
8 Ugly people (move up to just under Catholics if also fat)
9 Disabled veterans (hey, they should have died as they used to, or keep out of sight)
10 Poor people (but not if they are on the dole).

Add to the list:
Collingwood supporters,
Vegans,
Hippie students,
Camry owners,
I could think of more, but the discrimination might cause tears or death threats.

I don't think an apology is needed and also do not agree it is a waste of time. It gets everyone talking even if it is not the best topic, and we get some light relief from the daily stress.
