From the secret-society department:

Somebody asked if there were any happy, passionate people left in this civil servant city of ours. This was my response:

[BEGIN]
Yes, there are happy and passionate people left here. We’ve all banded together, though, to defend ourselves and fight back against those whose sourpuss attitudes would bring us down.

In the streets we wear frowns and dour disguises so nobody can tell who we are. If you’re very observant you’ll spot our secret signs and handshakes (I can’t tell you what they are yet ’cause I don’t know where you stand on this important issue). We also have a few telltales that give us away:

* We’ll put coins in somebody else’s parking meter if nobody’s looking;
* We dance in the streets, but if somebody spots us we pretend as if we’d just tripped and then keep walking;
* We sing out loud in our cars (if somebody catches us we hastily pick up a cellphone and pretend as if we’re yelling angrily on it).

We call ourselves the Order of the Grinning Monkey. Meetings are spontaneous (we get text messages on our phones and if we’re near a meeting we’ll stop in) and our meeting clubs are cleverly disguised as dull government office buildings, like the passport office and the health card office downtown. If you look closely at the elevator buttons you’ll see our stylized secret grinning monkey logo (it’s disguised as an 8 but if you rub it the right way, the ears, eyes and huge grin become visible for a second).

You too can join the Order of the Grinning Monkey. Our online world is at our Grinning Monkey wiki, www.grinning-monkey.gnurple.net.
