Subject: How the MONSTER clan began... Fri Oct 31 2008, 08:17
Once upon a time in a land far far away... oops! No, that was another story!
On July 18th 2007 I was playing in a freeroll tourney and this very nice lady sat at the table with me – ‘Fluffy’ was her name. We had a very pleasant conversation and she told me that I should check out a site calledrailbirds.com. So I checked it out and became a member that very same day.
Fluffy and I became very good friends – we still are – and I started meeting alot of her friends out on the RB tables. Lildeveau – AcekickerCA – DrWife - OakleyAnnie – the list is almost endless – and as you can see they are all female! This had a special reason – almost all of them were members of a clan called the SHE DEVILS – and this clan was – and is - all women!
I was not only having fun with all these wonderful ladies, I also became their ‘cheerleader’, yelling ‘SHE DEVILS RULE’ and ‘SHAKE SHAKE POM POM RA RA RA’ all the time. Yeah, I know... this is funny – but if you don’t want to spend a lot of time in our Torture Chamber you should not make fun of this!
And of course I wanted to become a clan member. But since the SHE DEVILS are only female, I decided to found a male clan as a counterpart to them, and I thought it should fit somehow to the SHE DEVILS clan. And since I already used the Frankie avatar on Full Tilt, I thought a good name and theme for this clan could be monsters. That’s how I got the idea of founding the MONSTER clan.
This idea turned out to be the best I ever had. The MONSTER clan – which was only men at that time - soon became famous on all sites for it’s fantastic support of mates and friends, and it soon started to become more than that – a brotherhood.
But this was not the end. Somehow we all were missing something – and before long I found out what that was – we needed brides! In my infinite wisdom I announced a verdict – the ‘Marriage Rule’! Now my brothers could marry female birdies to make their un-lives even more horrible. That was the beginning of what the MONSTERS are now – a family!
What I didn’t expect though was the huge amount of work that goes along with it. So I had to delegate responsibilities and to appoint a co-leader and ‘captains’ as additional executives to keep an eye on our proliferating horde.
Now we have more than a hundred members – and we’re still growing. Even members of other clans want to be part of us as Honorary MONSTERS. And why is that? Because...
