Monastery Rules

[Griffin NoName]

1. Do not overfeed the squidlings.

[Scriblerus the Philosophe]

2. Do not leave Swato's lab door open

[Swatopluk]

Don't disturb the squid chorus or they'll go all Cthulhu on you.

[anthrobabe]

4. do not turn off the nightlights-- really, don't

5. the moat is not for swimming(we have a pool), you may put a boat in the moat but not a motorized one-the moat is for a row boat only-possibly an inflatable dinghy(that's for Black Bart!)

                             

[Swatopluk]

6. No climbing the squid tower without permit and strict security measures

7. No moat urination

8. Check toilets before use for absence of prankish squidlings.

[anthrobabe]

9. Be aware of and report to the proper person(entity,thing,whatever) any and all squidlings found without hall passes- please, be ready to give numbers, direction of travel, types of arms carried, were their any screams heard just before or after the spotting, as well as any other information that will help in tracking

10. Rule 10 is the most important rule, do not mess with rule 10, rule 10 will kick your behind if necessary, rule 10 is the rule dealing with issuing of hall passes to the squidlings. Rule 10 has it's own binder- the large yellow one with "Don't Panic" written on the front in large helpful letters. Please get help before dealing with Rule 10-- Swato may be reached at all times by calling his cell or screaming loudly "Help- I have a Rule 10 issue!".

[Swatopluk]

11. Invoking rules without credibly made-up corroboration for their validity will be dealt with harshly.

12. Invoking rule 11 without following rule 12 closely will be dealt with even more harshly.

[anthrobabe]

13. There is no rule 13, it would be unlucky.

[Bluenose]

Rule 13A.  In the absense of rule 13, rule 13a may be substituted when required

[Swatopluk]

14. Beware of large grey mammals on the premises. They can be easily overlooked if the grass has not been mowed.
14a. Ignore 14., if you like to be flattened.

[Griffin NoName]

15. Do not eat anything in the Lab.

[Swatopluk]

15a. It could contaminate the sophisticated stuff therea dn is therefore against good lab practice

[anthrobabe]

16.  If you do eat anything in the lab- do not re enter the pool for at least 30 minutes or else you will get cramps and possibly drown.

        16a-subparagraph 1 (subject to amendment under rule 13)
                you were actually dumb enough to eat something you found in the lab? Hope your prepaid burial stuff is caught up.

[Scriblerus the Philosophe]
