The Thanksgiving Eve Association
(better known as TEA)


One cold night in November 1996, called Thanksgiving Eve, Katie and Melissa were at Sarah's house. It was early in the morning, and they became bored. They decided to pillow fight. To make it more dramatic and interesting, they pretended it was an Olympic event, with each one of them taking on a country. Sarah chose the country of Ukraine, Katie chose the country of Japan, Melissa chose the country of France.



The three pillow fought for 5 hours straight, and it was tiring. There was only one injury, and hardly any bloodshed. It was not a true fight, but the three had fun anyway. They woke up the next morning very tired. They decided to come up with a wacky little club to commemorate the night. Because the event occured on Thanksgiving Eve, Sarah, Melissa, and Katie became known as the Thanksgiving Eve Association, or TEA for short. To make it even more wacky, they came up with an official document verifying membership and a TEA song.

The document:
TEA was formed on November 27/28, 1996 on Thanksgiving Eve/Thanksgiving Day during a pillow fight, hence our colors--yellow and white, and our initiation procedures.
"TEA FOREVER, TEA FOREVER MORE"

The Song:
We are TEA, TEA are we.
We are the best pillow fighters in history.
Yellow and White, we stant to fight!
TEA forever, TEA forever more!

Now that you know the history, let's look at the procedures:
Initiation: To be initiated into TEA, you must be a friend of one or more or all of the founders and you have to like the Monkees or 60's stuff, or general interests of the founders (NOTE: this was added in summer '97). They have to be willing to pillow fight and to party all night. The initation process is simple: each founder gets 3 shots at the one being initiated with a pillow. (Self defense is allowed.) Once this is complete, the one being initiated is christened with a pixy stick of their choice.

Membership: Membership is for life. The only way out is by stating your reasons why and all members must approve the departure. If all members feel there is no more need for TEA, then the club may die out by itself.




Well, that's it! That's TEA. Sorry, it's not an online thing. But, now you know what TEA is!! *G*
