We have this new, internal “branding” situation going on, at work. It’s called IFS: Integrated Future State. Well, one of my IST gamers asked about us playing “IFS” the other day. I replied “IST, even? IFS would be the International Felonious Society.”
The guy was really taken with that name and tried to have me work on the idea. I told him that, if I were to put some serious consideration toward it, I’d do so only after talking with Bob, because, well, if I’m going to put that much thought into it, I’d want to make sure that it was something he could use should IST 2.0 ever get written. And, it's not something I'm likley to be working on at work, anyway.
Well, the guy didn’t take the hint (he’s a living example of the Clueless disadvantage) and commented, the next day that he’d come up with a hierarchy for the society, topped off by “The Most High Felon.”
“No. If anyone was going to lead the organization, it would be Bad Horse.”
“Who?”
“The Thoroughbred of Sin.”
“What?”
“Never mind.”
To my left and right (two of my other gamers) came a chorus of “Bad Horse, Bad Horse, Bad Horse! He’s BAD!”
I managed to fight the urge to sing the song.
