Stetson76 Posted August 14, 2009 Report Share Posted August 14, 2009 (edited) Ah, the first day of freedom… You know, when your parents finally drive away after dropping you off at college? Then, your first weekend. All the exciting road trips. It’s magical. So, despite the fact that SNAFU is no longer living under your roof Carpe Diem, we promise to continue to ask ourselves WWCDD? And though the answer to that is clearly… We’ll continue to do the opposite. Thank you for all of your support as we’ve grown and we look forward to a long and mutually beneficial partnership. The Graduation TreatyThe signatories of this treaty gather here today in order to fully recognize the full depth of their relationship and to further develop it from the point of a parent-child relationship to that of parents who are sending their kids off to a university and adulthood! With this treaty, Carpe Diem (CD) and SNAFU (SNAFU) recognize each other as equal partners in an exciting new accord. Article I – Recognition of Success and Peace – “Honor Thy Children Too” - Nobody above the age of 12 ever said that The undersigned signatories recognize that one of the signatories no longer is in a position of dominant authority over the other (that’s right, dominant) and that each signatory has their choices to make all on their own without need for consent. CD is from hence forth forbidden from babying SNAFU and licking their fingers to get the sauce off of Stetson’s cheeks. Furthermore, SNAFU can use its car whenever it wants and go wherever it wants without a curfew or having to check in at 10pm. Both signatories also agree to stop bickering over petty issues. Article II – Intelligence and Communication - “No one ever keeps a secret so well as a child” – Victor Hugo From this day forward, SNAFU is expected to make regular phone calls to let us know how they’re doing. They are also expected to share important information with CD. All the same, CD is to do the same, and inform SNAFU when important family events and such are going on. Both signatories are to not keep secrets from each other, for children can always trust their parents and likewise. Article III – Mutual Defense - “Don’t you mess with my baby” - Woman I saw on Jerry Springer Both signatories agree that if SNAFU is getting bullied while away at college, CD will step in and help dish out the $@! whooping. The same is to be said for the likewise, as CD is getting old and could use the help of those young bucks in SNAFU. With that said, both signatories understand that they are to protect each other from invaders at all costs, and that there is no greater honor than to fight alongside brave friends. Article IV - Optional Aggression - "When you're evil" - Voltaire SNAFU has never understood CD's joy for hunting live and dangerous prey, but should the opportunity arise and SNAFU would like to come along, they are more than welcome to. Likewise, if CD is bored and feels like harassing the computer science majors on campus with SNAFU, they too are welcome to join. Neither signatory will come along for the fun without the consent of the other. Article V – Aid – “Going to try with a little help from my friends” – The Beatles Even though SNAFU has proven to be self reliant, CD recognizes that being the kids they are they might bounce a few checks or overdraw a few debit accounts. With that in mind, CD agrees to spot SNAFU a little cash whenever SNAFU asks for the help. However, this is only on the condition that SNAFU remembers to put CD up in a nice retirement home when the time comes, instead of the grimy low class cockroach-infested home they keep threatening us with if we don’t stop nagging them. Both signatories agree to share the wealth. Article VI – Cancellation – “Welcome back my friends, to the show that never ends” – Emerson, Lake & Palmer In the highly unlikely chance that SNAFU either disowns CD or CD disowns SNAFU, a two week grace period will exist between the two where all articles of this treaty are upheld to the fullest until the adoption papers go through and SNAFU becomes somebody else’s problem. Signed for Carpe Diem Destructiox, Triumvir of receiving important queries but forgetting to tell everyone else about them Pyroman, Triumvir of milking the teat and providing for the young ones Kirsten, Triumvir of really bad signatures Cairna, Deputy trumvir (director of sex) Prodigy.NL, Director of the 'Good, the Bad and the Prod' and also of Foreign Affairs and drinker of Flor de Caña rum Steelese, Director of Trade and taking everyone's !@#$ because they don't have exactly what they want Josshill Director of the Really Really Crappy looking Vault Bionic Redhead - director of protecting the little'uns Signed for SNAFU: Stetson of Axeland, Grand FUBAR Madam CaVi of Spehan, the Power Behind the Throne, Director of Illicit Affairs Sniper620 of Snipetopia, Director of Damage Control Hlaine Larkin of Reikland, Director of Making Nations Rich Joe32320 of Lealand, Director of Alliance Relations On a not so unrelated note, SNAFU would like to formally introduce our war flag. Should anyone mess with CD, you'll sure to be seeing it again. Our thanks to Raithen our Chief of Graphix Dezign for the great work.
