Okay, first of all, as many of you know, there has been some debate for some time from some people about whether or not cod particles (from being eaten) in your legs and hence trousers, counts towards cod-in-trouser-driving. Well, member Andrew (a.k.a. Founder of FDLFDWCTT) has decided to hold a vote on the matter, calling it the "Stop the Flopping Vote," comparing our predicament of not being able to move past the subject to that of the predicament of a beached cod which can't get back to water because people keep kicking it. Once again I will mention that it is encouraged that people read the cod cheese forum, since that's kinda like the only diplomatic decision-deciding place available to everyone (some people can't just call up Andrew and yell at him) and it's the only place for people to express their opinions to the rest of the organization (since noone except Andrew can write newsletters). But I digress. The point is, if you check the cod forum at least semi-regularly you would know about the "Stop the Flopping Vote." So anyways, everyone vote on the issue by emailing Andrew (percepied@hempseed.com) with your opinion. Perhaps everyone could put "Stop the Flop" as the subject field of the message to help Andrew organize the votes. And so, on to other matters...

Another idea that has come up is that of an FDLFDWCTT member of the week award (maybe two weeks or something - it's still in the developemental stages). Basically, whoever has been the most active in FDLFDWCTT for the week or whatever the time frame happens to be (not necessarily meaning excessive amounts of cockamamey entrys on the cod forum (reference to Mike)) gets the award to wear with pride (cheap clothing reference) for the week. Jennifer has suggested mod podging (mod podge is a really effective glue that dries clear) a bunch of cool stuff together and making a phat button for people to wear as the award. This might be somewhat difficult for long distance members, but we'll work that out later. But anyways, I suggest anyone with suggestions suggest suggestingly to Andrew any suggestions they have regarding the award.

Another interesting FDLFDWCTT related developement is a new section of the web empire being created which will be known as Socks the Cat. No wait, it will be known as the Hall of Trowsers. This child of FDLFDWCTT, which is still in the zygote stage of developement (don't ask how it was conceived), will be composed of a collection of interesting cod-free trousers picuture limbs, a "most origonal cod-free trousers award" spleen, an intestinal list of links, and a titular oral cavity (the title) to finish it off. Of course, everyone will be notified via newsletter when it's umbilical cord is cut and the page begins taking independant breaths. The page will probably get started when we get some trousers and when Jennifer (Even Sven) gets more batteries for her digital camera.

On an non-FDLFDWCTT note, I had an idea for a comedy film. It would have some guy telling stories, and as the stories went on it would cut to scenes demonstrating what he's describing, but there would be comedic plays on words in his story. Like "once when I was a kid, i got involved in a little league team... of course, I sucked at baseball, but I didn't mind because it was still fun, even though I got stuck in right field, where noone ever hits the ball.." and its cuts to a scene of some kid in a little league uniform in a field fidgeting with his glove for a few moments, and then it switches back to the guy.. "The only exciting time I had the entire season was during one of the last games we had.. I was sitting out in right field, bored as usual, when one of our opponents at bat really connected with the ball, and it went sailing into the outfield.. towards me!" it cuts to the kid with a bit of a shocked face looking at the sky.. "it went so high up I almost lost it in the sun, but I was determined to catch it.." shows the ball in the sky and then the kid looking up and readying his mit.. "so I watched it, and watched it, and watched it.. my eyes never left that ball! I backed up some to account for the balls trajectory, and was right under it.. I reached up and put my glove.." cuts to the kid reaching up but the guy keeps talking "right where i thought the ball would be and I caught........... on fire!" and all of a sudden it shows the kid on fire and jumping around in flames frantically.. See!! Isn't that funny!?! Anyways, that's my film idea and I'm stickin' to it... maybe..

Well, anyways, i guess I will end this madness for now, and leave you all with one final note, which also happens to be my suggestion for the FDLFDWCTT slogan, and say "Drive cod free; it's the way to be." (Short, sweet, to the point, and it uses the almighty semicolon. Okay so it doesn't mention trousers but they're implied, and you have to admit it's got a snazzy ring to it.)
