Poll: Monkey Exhibit Initiation
Chris Sinagoga | Tuesday, July 13, 2021 at 8:00AM Environments have a certain kind of exponential effect on its inhabitants that can be observed over time as a progression of individuals and species as a whole into something that equates to a product more than the sum of its parts. The sheer matter and mass of the individuals feed off the surroundings and magnify any...
HEY WHAT THE...

Keep your filthy hand molecules away from the only piece of technology I own! Now, where was I? Ah yes. The translation of the above is the Monkey Exhibit is taking over the gym.
The wall test is their initiation for new people in the 11 am session; a poor soul is shuffled out in front, alone and defenseless but for their hands or feet ready to face a bombardment of soccer and volleyballs. In this case it was Lily Cavataio vs. the entire left side of The Graph. To get out she had to simply return the hit/kick. I will spoil it for you: she did not return anything.
So the obvious question: is this hazing or just good ol' fashioned bullying? Either way we're keeping it, I just want to know for the sake of explaining it to my insurance company.

Bullying builds character
This is just phase 1 of the initiation. I have many other ideas for phase 2. Like, beaming people with a soccer ball or volleyball while hanging from the rope. This one is still up for debate but I like it.
Ooh I like that idea because it adds a strength and bravery component to the mix.
Bulazing.
It's character development.
It builds character. You have to be tough to be part of us.
That crap in the beginning doesn't make any sense. Here is an a paragraph of something I wrote (I am a bad writer BTW):
"Most self-assembled nanostructures are static and are in an equilibrated state. The
tools in nature involve molecules that undergo self-assembly to provide an organized
supramolecular structure that is used in the catalytic, communication, and information
storage processes. Allosteric proteins are important for the regulatory cellular and
biological functions in organisms. Organisms are in dynamic environments and need
regulatory proteins to maintain homeostasis. Allosteric proteins adapt in the presence of
external stimuli through small perturbations within the structure as a whole, and switches
on and off protein functions in a nonlinear fashion. The changes within folded systems
can be monitored through the propagation and amplification of chirality through the
folded system. Understanding propagation and amplification in biological assemblies
will assist with the design of efficient abiotic sensors and catalysts. Many molecules that
undergo self-assembly exhibit intermolecular chirality, but few abiotic molecules that
fold show intramolecular interactions."
Make sense of that... I can barely read it. lol
That is pure poetry Bewick
Better to be the bully then get bullied. Have to be tough to be with us.
