Just so no one else gets in trouble with the RFC Cabal (TINC), I
thought I'd explain a little about the organization (TINO). First,
what the Webster online dictionary has to say:

Main Entry: 1ca·bal
Pronunciation: \k?-'bäl, -'bal\
Function: noun
Etymology: French cabale cabala, intrigue, cabal, from Medieval Latin
cabbala cabala, from Late Hebrew qabbalah, literally, received (lore)
Date: 1614
1: the artifices and intrigues of a group of persons secretly united
in a plot (as to overturn a government) ; also : a group engaged in
such artifices and intrigues
2: club , group <a cabal of artists>
synonyms see plot

What you need to know is, There Is No Cabal (TINC). Whenever the
Cabal (TINC) is mentioned, it is followed by the TINC disclaimer.

There are groups of people who have formed friendships over the years,
but non are exclusive, that I'm aware of. Please feel free to hop
right in and make new friends when you come here.

This welcome, of course, does not apply to trolls and troublemakers.
Those folks will be dealt with harshly by the Cabal (TINC).

Thank you for your attention,
Damsel, Head Trollop

It should probably be noted here that the "[TINC]" convention is not
something that began in r.f.c. It goes back to the net.admin abuse
groups, where it was and is a reference to "The Lumber Cartel" [tinc],
which was and is an inside reference.

Good to know. We should have Victor add that to the RFC FAQ.

snippage of blasphemous denial of the Cabal (TINC)

Just a friendly reminder that you might want to tread lightly before
the Cabal (TINC) missy, I think you are on thin ice with them (TINT)

I'm sorry you were so publicly chastised as to your attire while
posting to rfc, but then you go ahead and entertain the idea of
changing the color of dat dress. What are you thinking girl! now is
the time to stay on the DL then_gently_ ease your way into asking the
Cabal (TINC) permission for any changes of attire you might want to
make.

Then to top it off you deny the existence of the Cabal (TINC) tisk,
tisk, tisk. Leading any newbies into certain disaster.
I think you are in danger of letting the fact that you are the Head
Trollop go to your head.

I'm saying these things to you in loving concern and I hope you take
this is the spirit in which it is given. I don't want you in any more
trouble with the Cabal (TINC)

Quite so. I had to take out a loan to pay my fees (and I'm still paying

Oh, no! I've really done it now! They (TINC) know where I live! Oh,
yeah, we're moving. Whew! I must remember to be more careful, and
yes, I'll keep wearing the navy blue, velvet dress.

I snatched that tiara but I let Steve borrow it for his drag shows (he being

Slowly. I'm trying to get ALL of the laundry done and ALL of the
dishes washed, so we can just put everything away at the new place and
not have anything hanging over our heads (except the ceiling).

I hope we'll be able to stay in one place for the next several years.

I just did some digging, and it looks like The Lumber Cartel [tinc] was
not the first incarnation of The Cabal [tinc] (and the abbreviation TINC).

First

and then

http://www.trit.org/pub-cgi/Dict?For...e=*&Query=NANA

and the LC:

I love this kind of stuff.

No, but they do get you better seats at the movie screenings.

Don't be. Flash your boobies at the shark at the door, and if they look
familiar from the photos the cabal [tinc] have on record for you, you'll
get a pass for the front two rows.

Be careful. I was participating in an ad hoc group like this within a
photography forum at a photo web site, and was suprised to one day be
named Chief of Staff. This was last month. Before the metaphorical smoke
cleared, I also became Alleged Treasurer <g>, bought a domain for the
group and put up a minimal website for it, thus becoming Webmaster, too.

Oh, I've been Head Trollop for years and years. I'd like to take a
look at your site when I'm not in chat (hint-hint).

There are 5 or 6 loosely organized cabals, but each cabal has
members within their own cabals that don't get along, so they are
technically not cabals.

Oh, don't feel bad.

Many moons ago, a well-endowed young co-worker shared a story over lunch
about having had pneumonia. She went to the ER (not, fortunately, at
the hospital where we all worked), and the resident on duty who saw her
convinced her that a breast exam was SOP for patients presenting with
respiratory symptoms.

There was an audible thud as half a dozen jaws hit the table. As the
senior female mammal, the related eyeballs pivotted in my direction.

After lunch I didn't call her into my office because it would have been
too conspicous. Instead, I followed her into the file room and had a
quiet word with her. The HandiWipes we used to remove ink from our
fingers worked well to clean the crusty white nose marks off the
shoulder of my jacket.

I transferred shortly after that so I don't know how or even if she
followed up on the matter. I hope she did. The thought of that asshole
practicing medicine makes me sick.

I'm embarassed to report that I cannot speak or write in Elbonian, but
I can read and understand some of it. Perhaps someone else would be
willing to take on this responsibility?
