TGC -- The Grey Cabal

Purpose:  To get SAJV renewed for a second season.
Our Other Primary Mission:  To serve as Jules' and Passepartout's invention consultants and to be the  keepers of the PLOT (Protected List O' Technology).  The PLOT includes the Aurora, the Phoenix, Steely Joe, the Observer's funky helmet [from "Southern Comfort"], and anything else we decide is nifty.

Founded by:  No Founder.  This group grew organically in SCIFI BB post #693.  It was named by 'Davodd' after a group of them, including 'Ephian', 'VicciV' and 'Gaelle17' were comparing their own gray hairs to Phileas' grey hairs.  NOTE: "Grey" has an 'E' in the name -- like the British.  "Gray" was too American.

Membership Requirements:  Restricted to those aged 40 and over, and those under 40 who ask nicely.  Grey (again, note the British spelling) hair is not necessary.  Maturity and wisdom are appreciated; a distinctly immature sense of wonder and mischief are equally appreciated.  It helps if you don't yet know what you want to be when you grow up.

Nickname:  Grey Caballeros.     Unofficial Motto:  "We believe in the future.  We believe in science.  We believe in prune danish."  This last belief is subject to frequent change.  Suggestions are welcome.

Unofficial Mascot: Steely Joe, whom we have located, restoked, and taught to do the hustle.  This stoking situation presents a problem for some Grey Caballeros, so we are considering the installation of a Mr. Fusion.  Mindful of the problems encountered by the Tin Man, we are also thinking of having Jules and Passepartout upgrade Steely Joe with a better outer skin, in which case he will be known as Stainless Steely Joe.

In the spirit of corporate America, all Grey Caballeros are encouraged to invent titles and create divisions, branches, and competing fiefdoms.  However, we don't appoint numbers, since we wouldn't remember them, anyway.

ABS -- The Auroran Beach Society
(or: Absent Bathing Suits)

Purpose:  The ABS has the very lofty and honoured purpose of protecting our dear boys from any and all beach-related mayhem (unless we,  ourselves are the cause of that mayhem).  Our definition of "beach" is rather liberal -- meaning sand, water, anthing that  contains water, anything that has ever been on/in/near the sand, anything that  might be  mistaken for sand, anything that  resembles sand or water, including but not limited to water vapor or ice.

Members of the ABS usually wear bunny ears, denoting our nickname of beach-bunnies (although they are  not a requirement).  Horns, halos or ear muffs are also allowed.  Our principle mode of transportation is the HMS Rubber Ducky, which  is indeed yellow, but  not rubber.  (It does float as well as fly and has a camouflage/cloaking device; this enables us to follow the Aurora and protect its men from the above mentioned mayhem.)

It should be noted that we are a  very dedicated group, especially since men swam naked until the 1870's.  ;-)

TGC:DD -- The Grey Cabal: Dybbuk Division

Purpose:  Calling all demons, daemons, pixies, nixies, gremlins, brownies, imps and pucks!  The Dybbuk Division is an elite corp of Grey Caballeros dedicated to thwarting the Legion of Darkness at every turn and often times saving our heroes from themselves.

We were there spinning the barrel of the revolver so dearest Phileas wouldn't shoot his damn fool head off.  We were there distracting Passepartout so that he left the iron too long on Phileas' newspaper.  We were there beside Jules yelling "Bombs away!" as he dropped the mannequin/missile onto the Prometheus.  We were there keeping Phileas' glass full so that he could focus on his fencing after poor Passepartout went off with Dr. Draquot.  We were there keeping a lookout for the Flying Victorian Winnebago while Rebecca kept General von Kessler busy.  And we were there teaching Steely Joe the Macarena and the Electric Slide so that he wouldn't shame himself at the Goldberg Bar Mitzvah--um, but that's another story.

You can join and become a member of another faction of The Grey Cabal.  There are no requirements, only a sense of humor and a deep seated tendency towards mischief and mayhem.  Forked tail and horns are optional.
