The invitations arrived at the houses of the FE members one by one. Some were surprised that Vlady knew their addresses while others were just excited to have gotten mail in the first place. The subject of the invitation was even more exciting: Like, OMG, Vlady was going 2 throw a huge 80s theme party at his house! How totally radical is that?
Each FE member nodded. A nighttime dance party is exactly what FE needed to leave them feeling refreshed after all those dumb Poll of the Day arguments about hotdog sandwiches, driveways, and thumb fingers. A dance party might bring them together so that they were done fighting over stupid stuff like whether Kevin Spacey was a total asshole or maybe just a dick. They all started planning their outfits and prepared to go.
The night of the party finally came and just about everyone was at Vlady’s, old FEers and new. Didn't matter if they came from GLB, FFA, or another older group like TIB. Everyone had gotten into the theme, whether it was Angi in her legwarmers or Ahoda wearing a poofy pirate shirt or Curtis in a Frankie Says Relax t-shirt. The house was decorated with old album covers and John Hughes movie posters. An old turn table played song after song.
Buffy looked over at Cactus in his Izod shirt, then noticed in the dark behind him two glowing eyes staring out. She called out to Cactus: “Turn around!”
Cactus looked confused, then smiled and nodded. He sang: “I get it. ‘Every now and then I get a little bit lonely and you’re never coming round.”
Buffy called again: “No, turn around!”
Cactus laughed, then sang: “Every now and then I get a little bit tired of listening to the sounds of my teeeeears.”
Buffy shook her head. “No, TURN AROUND! BRIGHT EYES!”
Cactus stopped singing. “Um, that’s not where that lyric comes in and…” Suddenly, he was grabbed up and dragged into the dark. The music stopped. Everyone began looking around in confusion. The music was replaced by a voice: Vlady’s.
“I’m sick of all the fighting and back-biting going on here in FE. I staged this whole “party” as a way for us to work things out. While this is an opportunity for everyone to get shit out, it means that some of you might not like the method. If you all find there is someone who is causing a problem here at FE, then we’re going to put them on the Banned/Deceased list. Only this time, it will be real life. It’s time to ferret out the troublemakers here. Hopefully we can identify and remove them before they destroy the board.
You all have a decision to make. Who will we remove today? I’ll take the majority vote, so get to it.”
The turntable kept spinning, the needle skipping over and over and over.
Rodney is a great guy. Oops, nevermind he's a terrible human being.
He likes his sandwiches to be Turkey and Swiss. Triangle cut. Let vern have his crust. Poison the part Rodney eats.
TIB - 2 time award winner "Worst mafia player" at FE (maybe everywhere)
