The Club

We have decided to start a club, the MAMOOAMH club.

Also called the ‘Make A Mountain, Out Of A Mole Hill’ club, Now this club is necessitated because of so many MAMOOAMH events that we see around us.

Too many stupid discussions and message threads that have no value other than providing a forum to some people who like to hear themselves speak.

Now the as with all clubs, there are rules…

1. Any ‘discussions’ held should deviate from the topic as much as possible and should make as little sense as possible and should not be brought to a logical end.
2. The aforementioned topic should be of least significance to any character/ person either fictional or real.
3. The message thread (if any) will not, so to speak be a thread it will be more a bunch of threads that have no origin and no potential destination.
4. Usage of words/phrases such as ‘Absolutely’, ‘Definitely’, ‘Most Certainly’, ‘I would beg to differ’, ‘I think that is an interesting idea, but…” etc is most certainly encouraged
5. Usage of technical/Management jargon (existing/just invented) such as ‘Cognitive Dissonance’, ‘Test Harness’, ‘Helixity’ is a must.
6. If you are someone who enjoys speaking in abbreviations, most welcome.
7. All the better if you enjoy making long discourses in languages that none of the involved parties understand (I had such a discussion on the chat recently, it works like a dream).

Symptoms of the above are relatively less in India , however strains of the above exist, and there have been many meetings/message threads elsewhere, where I have felt like saying ‘Why are we discussing such a trivial issue?”.

Until recently I thought something was wrong with me, but recently have met like minded people who feel the same. Hence the club, maybe it will help us get into the ‘flog a dead horse until its soul dies’ mode.
