Exam Results Weirdness

[Possum 2]

It's the time of the season for hoaxes to begin, speculation to run rampant and nerves to be frayed. Who will hack into the list of passing candidate numbers for 1 - 4 now that Roger Lee is gone?

[Drzy]

Funny you should mention this... I was JUST on the SOA website, and I clicked on their education and exams link, and I was taken to the PASS LIST for exam 3!!!!!! I cut and pasted the numbers, so here they are. I swear to you, this is ABSOLUTELY TRUE! These are the REAL PASSING NUMBERS for exam 3!!!!

Don't worry. I'll find them for you. You know you can trust me...

[the mole]

Hey, Pillow! Think the Possum that started this thread could be the answer to your SOA problems?

[Possum 2]

I heard that if you can find a one hundred dollar bill that contains your candidate number within the bill's serial number and you mail this bill to the right SOA official, you will pass your exam.

Mole-

Of what service could a lowly possum possibly be?

You seem to meet the requirements just fine.

[Possum 2]

I wouldn't do at all - possums reek of all manner of nasty things when burned.

[the mole]

But that's perfect. From her first post

I hope my prayers to the SOA Gods is paying off...now they are asking for a stinking animal sacrifice for a 6!

[Possum 2]

You twist my meaning, mole - maybe you're really a rat.

[Pillow]

Possum...I'm sure you're a nice animal and all, but I think you won the honors of being my sacrifice just for bring up exam results coming out 2 1/2 weeks away from the release date. Eat good tonight buddy.... ;)

[Possum 2]

Pillow,
you look pretty animalian to me. Just what is an Animaniac anyway - part dog, part cat (Felix?), part something else?

[Pillow]

I can't sacrifice my own body and live to see my exam results. Then again...maybe I don't want to see my exam results.

[the mole]

Pillow,

You look pretty to me. Just what is an Animaniac anyway - all gorgeous?

Can't take a chance that Possum gets his flirting act together and leaves me in the frying pan.

Hey mole...here's an answer to your question:
WHAT ARE WE? (Episode 6)
Music and lyrics by Randy Rogel.


Wakko: Maybe we are dogs
Cute little dogs with ears
Woof woof! (pant)
And little tails that we can wag
Hey! Let's go fetch his slippers and play tag!
DrSns: Hey, get off of me!

Dot : Maybe I'm a cat
Whaddaya think of that?
A lovely cat that all the world adores
And here's my kitty paws
With little kitty claws
Which I like to sharpen on your couch!
DrSns: Augghh! That's not funny!

Yakko: Maybe I'm a bunny
Hopping 'round here happy as I please
Or penguins and it's cold, which makes you sneeze.

Yakko: I've got it! Of course!
Maybe I'm a horse
I can live on oats and hay
And laugh and run and jump and play
And you can ride on me all day!
DrSns: No way!

Dot : Hey, maybe I'm a skunk
DrSns: Oh boy, you really stink!
Yakko: A dinosaur might be some fun
DrSns: But then you'd be extinct.
Dot : Maybe we're all insects
Wakko: Do you like bugs and bees?
DrSns: You kids are buggy in the head
Yakko: Maybe we're giant fleas!

Dot : Maybe an electric eel
Wakko: Or a seal
Dot : Get real!
Hey wait a minute, I've got it now
DrSns: You do?!
Dot : Yes, I do.
YW+D : We're not bees and we're not cats
Or bugs or horses or things like that.
What we are is clear and absolute!
What we are, dear doctor...
Dot : Is cute!
YW+D : Mmmmwah!
DrSns: I'm sorry I asked.

[the mole]

Hey mole...here's an answer to your question:

YW+D : We're not bees and we're not cats

Then I guess my "all gorgeous" was exactly right.

You can trust anything else I say, too...

[Pillow]

For being a dirty rodent, you sure know how to turn on the charm. ;)

[Ducky]

Pillow, do us all a favor & sacrifice the mole.....save the possum.

[the mole]

Ducky:

Don't be so defensive. I know she's your MS. I wouldn't dream of trying to take your place. Trust me... :D

Now if you are concerned about eliminating the competition, you need to convince her to bake that SugarDaddy...Have to live up to my role as a saboteur.

[Pillow]

Leave Ducky AND SugarDaddy out of this. For one, I could never sacrifice my own MS. Secondly, I could never sacrifice another Chicks MS.

Mole...you're crossing the line...I might just have to follow my Duck's advice and offer you up to the SOA gods.

[Ducky]

Do it Pillow!!!!! Kill the mole...

[the mole]

Oh, no, Pillow. I would not dream of suggesting Ducky as the sacrifice. When I wrote to him "I wouldn't dream of trying to take your place." I wasn't referring to a spot as the sacrifice.

I was referring to his place let's see, how to keep this PG-13? as your MS.

You've selected a possum. No need to revisit that. On with the partying!

[Pillow]

Not that the Duck wears the pants in our Chick/MS relationship, but I'm going to have to go with the Duck on this one. Via PMs, he's expressed to me the VERY valid reasons for taking the mole's life up to the SOA Gods. Sorry mole...but you crossed the line questioning my MS like you did. You'll have a moment for last words just before the sacrifice.

[the mole]

PMs???

What about the principles of justice that have made this country so great? The right of the accused to see the evidence? Full discovery: all PMs from the Duck. Goes to the bias of the witness, you know.

And don't all my words to the Duck qualify as self-defense?

Surely someone as gorgeous as you wouldn't want to sacrifice a mole? :o

[Pillow]

If you can come up with a better offering to the SOA Gods for a passing score (and winning a bet with the Duck), then I'll reconsider.

[the mole]

Let me guess: I would be in BIG, BIG trouble if I suggested I could give you a better payoff than you would get from Ducky on the bet.Just wondering.

We already have a better offering than me: the possum. Surely he gives you a much better chance of appeasing the gods.

After all, those PMs from Ducky you forwarded just offered reasons for offing me, not reasons the SOA gods would prefer me. I hope I was allowed to acknowledge seeing those PMs.
