I am statring the BABB militia.

I am a Member.
Colt too.
Anyone else can join.


The idea of the militia is to go searching for missing members (or at least pretend to), to fight the forces of Evil, and to further our plans for world domination. Not necesarily in that order.

Our flag will be the BABB.

We can organize together to inform others of upcoming meeting of members and of debates for the BA and evil agents of the other side.

We will formulate plans for if a member encounters a hoaxer or a agent of the evil forces of Earth and beyond.

We will make up informative handy to carry lists of what to do if Bart Sibrel jumps out of the bushes at you or if Nancy Leider phones you. You will know what to do if you encounter the Dark lord in McDonalds, or Hoagland on Mars. Just keep calm, and do not worry, a militia member will be only an e-mail away!

Now this is not official, but i do not think the BA will mind if we don't do anything but inform.

Is there a training camp or anything? How about reserves? I'll be a BABB militia reservist.

No need for the reserves. But when we take over the world, you can have a state.

I changed my mind, I want in all the way! How do I advance through the ranks? Seriously though, I like the idea, and anything you need me to do (or try to do), just let me know.

Well when Colt comes back i will discuss it with him firther and we can make something up.

I really like the idea of printable "things to do is...." cards.


Anyone who joins can contribute. You can contribute anything from a sentance to half of the material. Heck, you can join and do nuthing.

Once we have a template up for the printable cards, i will link to it and we can make up some interesting ones.

It might take a few days.


Hey if they are really good, the BA might carry a few and hand them out to people. :-)

Do we have to call it the BABB militia? Can't we call it Great Alliance of BABB? It has a much more grand tone to it and makes us sound like honourable warriors rather than rag tag anarchists.

GABABB? :roll:

I think I'm going to Gagagg! :-&

I had a Red Dwarf inspired proposal but it could be considered improper. ocasey3 thougt so and I have deleted it.
Anyway the BABB militia sounds too militant, and I think the concept needs more work.

Dude, OMG, sure you want to keep that?? ops:

Extra points if anyone tells me the name of the movie and who the characters are! 8)

The Princess Bride!

The conversation was between Miracle Max played by Billy Crystal, IIRC, and Fezig(?) played by Andre the Giant.

I think it was Fezzik, or something like that. Still a cool character!

Hah! I just watched Princess Bride yesterday! "Inconcievable!"

I think the Militia needs a motto. (And a good name) Make suggestions here and then we'll start a poll so we can vote for the one we want.

O.K. so new name. :-)


We will also need help from all members to decide the "Top ten things to do if...." for each card.

I am not mr. Kotter! And for that you only get one peninsula. :wink:

"Fighting psuedo-science worldwide!"

Only if he takes back the Mr. Kotter reference (i didn't like that show) and says "I am sorry my Master" at least once. Then he can have both back.

That sounds reasonable to me..

Well i worked for about 10 min and banged out an example of what i am talking about.

Now this is nowhere near a final product since i used the BA logo without specific permission from the BA and did not finalize the name or anything. Just an example.



Example. (it should be the size of a buisness card in the final version.)

Now it could be numbers, or just bullet points.

I can do the cards if you want. I can even do a nifty membership certificate. I just need the final name and, well, content.

If you wan't to, that would be great! :-) We can help of course.

Now all we need is to comunally decide on what the top ten in each will be.

So how about this: Everyone who wants to participate pick your top ten points from this subject and the most common ones will be considered in the top ten. This is just for now. We can streamline the process later on.


Sibrel jumps out of the bushes at you...

For a name: how about "BABB guild"?

BABB Syndicate

BABB Coalition

Or, in keeping with the BABB's intellectual theme: BABB Fraternity
