This is my new cause. Working Against the Production Of Static Electricity (WAPOSE). I would like to find a way to harness those liberated electrons and enslave them onto some kind of atom that is not part of my clothes or my hair. I am also against being shocked when I touch my lamp or my door. I know of a good way to put a stop to this, which is called the return of summer. Let’s bring summer back. December sucks!
The only other acronomic club I have invented was in 6th grade when I came up with the AMSC. It was a club against one of my classmates who used to give us a hard time on the bus ride home. However, I can no longer remember how he really bothered me. All I remember is that he taught us the sawed off shotgun song, and I like knowing that song. “I got my sawed off shotgun/ hand on the pump/ right hand on the 40/ pump it up/ pump it up!”
Anyone want to join my cause against free electrons? Maybe they make some kind of proton brush.
Hell yes. The little bastards make a light show under my blanket every damn night, and the burn. Oh the burns.

on the shocking truth…try being a roller hockey referee. this is NOT an exaggeration. on the boards are metal screws, and very very often I have my hand on the boards so I know exactly where i am, and to rest, and to sit on the ledge to avoid the puck when its at my feet. EVERY single time i touch them its a shock. without fail. so its just expected.
also, the best acronym is from friends. the WENUS: Weekly Estimated Net Usage Systems-for Chandler’s work.

Speaking of WENUS, in the counselor prep program, we made a shirt that said “it’s all about the we-ness.” And Daniel used to call me Wenis. That was not very nice. I guess that came from Weesa… I think maybe I accidentally said it one day, and then he never let it die.
