<p>I read the reference to Facebook this afternoon over on the other thread (prestigiously–darn auto correct) and I mistakingly thought that you all had created a Facebook group together. I was a bit concerned that CC was leaking into real life, not that FB can be considered real. Much comforted to find this thread and realize that you are all just staying busy in two places. </p>
<p>Congrats to all of you achieving 10K and on your way to 14K.</p>
<p>How could someone not want the glory of green? Baffling, I know. I had to go back to the GDM (Greenie Diagnostic Manual) for deeper understanding. First described by BlueIggy:</p>
<p>“Greenie Aversion Syndrome (G.A.S.) It’s not nice to talk about, but we know darkness does exist out there. Some of the cc members are just not as appreciative of LGSs as we are. Bless their hearts.”</p>
<p>Lorem is a guy!? o.0</p>
<p>Also, I think the 5k underachievers, such as myself, may need a Green Acronym Manual (GAM) for all this greenie jargon.</p>
<p>Good morning. I got roshke, confetti, CT, Psychmom, and Jrmint.</p>
<p>Just popped in before work and I’m at 11,777! It’s gonna be a lucky day :D</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>I agree with poetgrl. ;)</p>
<p>Good morning greenie friends. I am 60 points away from the magical 10k. Will the greenie madness end there? The mystery continues.</p>
<p>Bring on your repping green
Bring on your repping green
Come on and take your best shot
Let me see what you’ve got
Bring on your repping green (Bruce Greensteen)</p>
<p>Just hit you psychmom, don’t know if I pack a big enough punch to take you over though, if you can tell what I give, let me know! ;)</p>
<p>I am getting the msg that I must spread the love psychmom, sorry!! Hopefully yalemom had enough umph to push you over.</p>
<p>Oh, and thank you for remembering my contribution to the GDM last night. GAS is so hard to talk about, y’know there’s a stigma and people are often afraid to seek help even when they recognize they have it. <sigh></sigh></p>
<p>I agree with blueiguana.</p>
<p>BI–loved your last paragraph but am prevented from tagging you again.</p>
<p>Some unfortunate CC members may have G.A.S. However, those of us who are addicted to the little green squres & attempt to go through “cold turkey” withdrawal can experience tremors & delusions of Greendeur.</p>
<p>How do you cure G.A.S? Maybe we need to reminisce and sing a medley of our greenie songs.</p>
<p>To all the CCers I’ve loved before
paraphrased Julio Iglesias song by 12rmh18
To all the CCers I’ve loved before
Who travelled in and out my door
I’m glad they came along
I dedicate this song
To all the Peeps I’ve loved before.</p>
<p> Do you hear the students sing?
paraphrased Les Mis song by neuroticparent
*Do you hear the students sing?
Singing a song of anger, when
There is a lack of CC posters
Who can get them into Penn
Yes, we’ve found a new pursuit:
Giving out small squares to our chums
And hoping for repute
When the greening comes</p>
<p>Will you join in our crusade
Whatever gender you might be?
Just look for us in places
With prestigiosity
Then join in the fight
That will get you the right green degree!*</p>
<p>Hotel Greenie For Ya
Paraphrased Hotel California by 12rmh18
*Welcome to the Hotel Greenie For Ya,
Such a lovely place (Such a lovely place)
Such a lovely face
Plenty of room at the Hotel Greenie For Ya,
Any time of year (Any time of year)
You can find it here.</p>
<p>You can check-out any time you like,
But you can never leave!*</p>
<p>I’m looking for a few friendly reps tonight, now that I am nearly finished with my return backlog.</p>
<p>Got ya, Lorem ;)</p>
<p>Thanks, dowzerw! Need 127 more, please! :)</p>
<p>just got you, can you tell how many points I give?</p>
<p>yalemom, you gave me 68 pts earlier. Packing some heat!</p>
<p>Alas, Lorem, I tried to give you green but am currently on 24-hour lockdown.</p>
<p>I think we should stage a protest. I am so done with being LIMITED! Lockdown schmockdown. I want to give some grrrrrrrrreeeeeeeeeenn!! ;)</p>
<p>dowzer, You are definitely coming down with GRR, a yalemom contribution to the GDM.</p>
<p>“G.R.R., Greenie Rejection Rage: When you think your 24 hours is up and you try to rep people and The (greenie) Man says: You have given too much reputation in the last 24 hours. SHUT UP AND LET ME REP MY PEOPLE!!!”</p>
<p>The Reputex is ineffective in GRR. The best relief is to belt out a huge GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!</p>
