<I'm a recent member. Would the Grand Poobah (or Bear) please give me the
requirements and duties of membership as well as the procedure for
soliciting membership in this exalted organization? >
Well, Rick....our small but dedicated band of moderately-persuaded folk are
well ensconced in the vast family of this list. We are those who love our
chiles dearly, like them to provide the kick they are known for but don't
like to be kicked so badly that we drop to the floor, wet our pants, roll
around clutching our throats or similar exercises in pain management. The
word "pain" is used in this instance to describe what we moderates like to
control. It is not to defame our fire-eating cousins or to imply that they
are somehow masochists. Chile-heads come in all sizes, ages, ethnicities
and tolerance levels. It's a fact that among the Moderate Corps we have
people with quite a large tolerance for heat (or pain if you will) but
nevertheless, we welcome them into the Ranks and ask them to choose their
station, rank, commission or whatever they want as the Pooh Bear is a happy,
chubby Italian woman who loves most people.
All that being said (and in a properly verbose manner as befits my ilk) you
are most welcome to enlist. Simply decide if you fit the description and,
if so, let us know what rank and uniform you would like to be associated
with. We are planning to march in a parade
someday...somewhere...somehow...if we can just decide on a T-shirt design
