Rouseketeers Assemble!

[Fifth Element]

With due credit to JeffB for coining the term, this is the thread to claim your membership in the Rouseketeers! The only requirement for membership is the willingness to wear a puffy shirt, which is the club uniform of course. Being awesome is also encouraged, but not required.

The first 47 posters to claim membership shall be entitled to use "Rouseketeer" as a custom user title, and/or to put "Original Member of the Rouseketeers" in their sigs. This will, of course, be vigilantly policed.

Why 47? Well, 50 seems like a good number and the first three are reserved for me and JeffB, and Le Rouse himself. Not that he would be so crass as to join his own fan club.

Edit: Here is the current roster of the Original Members of the Rouseketeers. Some of you fellows aren't clear whether you want to join or not when you post, so if you believe you should be included but aren't (or if you are included but didn't intend to be), please let us know!

I'll have to make some room in my sig next to O.A.F to show my affiliation



P.S. Thanx! With your help I've FINALLY level'ed up to be one of these blue-nosed guys

Hell, I wore a puffy shirt for my wedding.

And I've already gone head-to-head with The Rouse in the shirt stakes once before...

Are you claiming membership? Maybe I should have said "The first 47 posters to this thread shall be considered members of the Rouseketeers!"

That would keep out the riff-raff.

If ever there was a time for the forbidden smiley...

"Puffy shirt" is not a Rouse reference at all. It got associated with him after we saw the cowboy shirt.

I'd be a Rousketeer if this was changed to "cowboy shirt"

"Puffy Shirt" is a Seinfeld reference, for crying out loud, it's like over a hundred years old.

[thecasualoblivion]

Being one of the original 4E Avengers from the disaster of the 4E Concerns and Criticisms forum, I'm not sure I'm free to join another group.

[Riley]

I don't own a puffy shirt, but I'd be happy to sing along to the Rouseketeers' jaunty little theme song.

(Rough draft lyrics, in need of revision...)

Who's the leader of the club
That's made for you and me
S-C-O-T-T-The R-O-U-S-E
Hey there, Hi there, Ho there
You're as welcome as can be
S-C-O-T-T-The R-O-U-S-E

Scott The Rouse
Scott The Rouse
Forever let us hold our banner high
High High High

Come along and sing a song
And join the jamboree
S-C-O-T-T-The R-O-U-S-E

Scott The Rouse Club
We'll have fun
We'll be new faces
High High High High

We'll do things and
We'll go places
All around the world
We'll go marching

Who's the leader of the club
That's made for you and me
S-C-O-T-T-The R-O-U-S-E
Hey there, Hi there, Ho there
You're as welcome as can be
S-C-O-T-T-The R-O-U-S-E

Scott The Rouse
Scott The Rouse
Forever let us hold our banner high
High High High

Come along and sing a song
And join the jamboree
S-C-O-T-T-The R-O-U-S-E

[MichaelSomething]

Sign me up! All hail the Rouse!

[doctorhook]

Count me in! Just don't make me add anything to my sig; that sounds like more work than I'm interested in atm.

[Dragonhelm]

Count me in, please!

We live for the Rouse. We die for the Rouse.

[Filcher]

Rouseketeers, ho!

[Blackrat]

What the?!

Well to heck with it, I already have a puffy shirt so I'm in.

One for all and all for the Rouse!

[Jack99]

*grumble* *grumble*

[No Name]

Yet another reason to wear a puffy shirt.

I'm in.

[mach1.9pants]

This is just bizarre

[defendi]

Heh.

[defendi]

I guess that's me offering support of the Rouse.

[Draksila]

Wait, puffy shirts are a hindrance? When did this happen?

I suppose I'll cast my lot in with you dapper fellows.
