Okay, time to come clear. I invented Pikachu myself as a new project to stimulate board member bonding. It's supposed to circulate. I have been controlling it for a while, but last week Dimmy took over. That explains the feminin traits we noticed in Pika.

Everyone can take turns using this board sock. You can sign up if you want to play with the sock Pikachu. Just e-mail me so I can draw up a schedule. When it's your turn, you'll be notified along with the password.

Part of the game is always denying you're a sock. That way Pikachu will always remain a mystery.

Enjoy!

That's..... amazing.

Yes. It took a lot of preparation and organising people. But it's a pretty good sock.

So, not an attempt to find out info then?

Can I have the sock next then?

Heck no. We'll find out as it grows.

You better sign up RC. I'll e-mail you the password, the manual and list of people you can use to e-mail, make phone calls etc.

Great! I'll get right on it.

*Picks up phone.*

Now for some fun.

Can you give me a quick demo on this, you know, post something as the sock.

I can't. Dimmy controls it now. I cannot intervene. Besides, it would also incriminate on the credibility as Pikachu as a virtual character. That's part of the game, part of the rules. Pikachu must always be a credible board member. My goal is to get it on the JC.

Laudible, to say the least.

My thinking exactly.

I have no doubt in my mind that Pikachu will make the JC before me. Beaten by a sock - damn.

Still having witch problems I see.

Yes, but it's wearing off. Edna's spells do suck.

Well, mech, you can sign up and take it to the JC. Then part of you will be there and you can take turns so you can see the inside of the JC. Just another way to go.

Not sure if I wanna go down that whole "sock user" path. Once it has you in it's grasp, then forever will it control your destiny. I've got close friends still in sock re-hab. Nasty business.

Maybe you are a sock as well?

I am not a sock.

*Bib Fortuna leans over RC's shoulder*
"Master, he's no sock".

That's what all socks say.

Is my behaviour at all sock-like?

Yes. You sound like..... RC.

RC can confirm my existence, I e-mailed him a while back when the old board was playing up. But somehow I don't think you'll believe him.

I've been put down in many ways in my time, but never before have I had my very existence questioned!

I knew it all along when he came in the closet wearing only his socks.

It's funny you should say that because it's my firm belief that only the truly handsome of men can pull off - naked with socks on.

Guys, take a look in the mirror and see what I mean. Naked with socks on is a passion killer. When un-dressing in front of someone you hope to be intimate with, be careful not to fall into the sock gap.

So mech, what you're asking me is to ask RC, whose sock you are, to confirm your existence? I'm sure he'll deny you being his sock, of course. That's the very purpose of a sock.

And it's somewhat suspicious that you post when RC's offline.

Yes, yes, that IS strange isn't it.

And the sock passes to RC. Oooo, I like being RCs sock.

Now, Dimmy. That's not very nice.

And Finti picks up the sock.

Ah well, socks on parade.

See! It's pretty cool having such a sock around for all of us to play with.

But Finti drops it and Ushgarak picks it up.

Even Keo doesn't cause this much confusion.

I'm just getting started.

Ah, feeling myself again now.

Not sure what all this socking around is going to achieve you queeq.

And after all those nice things you said to me last night. It was quite a revelation.

Yes, keo will be so jealous.

Wedding bells soon then? They HAVE oDD MARRAIGES IN holland

Yes, talking to Dimmy last night.

Ok, brain is going into overload.

I thought I explained it quite clearly.

http://www.contrabandent.com/pez/games/poke/025a.gif

Oh don't even bring me into this!!

Very good, Dim. Sounds very credible to me.

IS this another Dim/Queeq double act like the freeq incident?

No, this is more a collective plan and she was the first to pick it up. Don't worry RC, you're next. You're already on the list. Anyone else?

Do you know who you are? Do you remember to log out as ze sock? You must remember what personality ze sock has. So, is Pika asexual then? or just mixed gender? or nongender??

Just sign up for being next in line. When it's your turn you'll receive the manual on how to work on that. Just see Pika as our baby, it grows and matures and they older it gets the more we get to know about it.
Since Dimmy's handling it now, Pika's more feminin.

It is one of the great, unanswered mysteries of the universe.

Not really a mystery, just undefined.... yet.

Speak for yourself!

I am. There's a bit of me in Pika.

There certainly isn't!!! You keep your bits to yourself.

Well, from a certain point of view.

Oh for the love of....

Queeq is not Pikachu
I am not Pikachu
Ushgarak is not Pikachu
Dim is not Pikachu
Finti is not Pikachu
Keo is not Pikachu
Raz is not Pikachu
Supa is not Pikachu
Phinney6 is not Pikachu
Jamous is not Pikachu

Pikachu is Pikachu

I am now going to lie down....

Spoken like a true puppet master. Keep the illusion alive.

Thanks RC, but don't worry. I will be queeqs sock if he wants.

Not mine. Ours.

I'm all yours baby.

"Hey Queeq ya big stud! Take me to bed or lose me forever!"

I didn't know it was THAT kind of situation...I think I'll just stay out of it then...

RC you missed me! I might be Pikachu!

Sorry, I've been missing people off of lists like that all week.

Are you?

No I most certainly am not! I'm a glove not a sock!

See, my foresight served me well.

Wonder if Dim will remember to wash the sock. How it doesn't scare her.

Well, after a quick lesson on sock culture this is me being a sock.

http://members.tripodnet.nl/episodeiiuk/queeqtomgun.jpg

See, it must be true.

Well, I do like to have all my special little places kept nice and clean.

Dim, are you going to wash all my important little places?

Dim are you sure that is such a good idea? I seriously fear for your safety!

ACtually, I think it was Queeqs idea... Blame him.

Hmmm! why does that not surprise me?

Anyone see Breetai or Shoeless lately? Maybe Pika is one of them?

That would be a good trick.

By now Pika could be anything. THis figment of our collective imagination is running around the boards. He can control him now? Well, I could, but I'm not gonna.
Pika is now being controlled by a user whose name I can't divulge yet.

I hope Dim looked after it.

Weeeell.....

Oh, just because I haven't used pikachu, RC can't put me on his list. You are a stinkbug !

Well, that certainly changes my opinion of you!

Charming to the last.

She didn't even give me a backrub...

This I can believe,.

You lot are socks mad, you've got socks on the brain, you should go to a socks therapist, etc.

Sock it to em!

Sock therapy? Sounds.... exhilirating.

I'm sure it isn't.

Oh come one RC, you know you want to.

Well, go one then.

Okay, Pika. Do it. Forget that you're a sock and take your first step into a larger universe.

To sock or not to sock, THAT is the question.

Whether it is nobler in the mind to mend a sock...

Okay, I am sick of this sock business ! (skips away barefoot, carefree and happy)

That's the last time I plan to liven up the place.
