Balpha,

It has come to the attention of the AWESOME committee that you have recently exceeded your awesome quotient. Normally this letter would simply serve as a warning and reminder as to your obligations in the LEAGUE OF AWESOME with regards to your display of AWESOME, however your recent display(s) of AWESOME have exceeded the limit beyond all normal care and due reason.

It is with heavy hearts that we are forced to take the following, regrettable, drastic action:

Mr. Balpha, on this day, March 31st, 2010, and henceforth, your membership in THE LEAGUE OF AWESOME is terminated, including all benefits, responsibilities, and services as described in your recently violated contract. You are hereby stricken from all records and are required to turn in your membership license or proof of its destruction. Also any and all other artifacts, including the LOA belt buckle, is to be returned immediately.

We realize that this may come as a shock, and is quite inopportune given the FRIENDS OF THE LEAGUE OF AWESOME cruise you signed up for just around the corner, however we like to think of this as an opportunity - we believe you may in fact be destined (and eligible) for the LUDICROUSLY AWESOME WAFFLERS, and we have sent notice to them of your recent, shall we say, "escapades".

Best Regards,
The Committee of THE LEAGUE OF AWESOME

    @C. Ross - you don't "sense" memes. You witness their presence after they established themselves. In fact the only fact you called it a meme before it even is just ruined all its chances to become one some day.

    @AdamDavis Nah, rumors of my leaving have been greatly exaggerated. I'll be around. I've just creatively phrased my tweet in an ambiguous way so that you have to look very closely, and not everyone did :) I appreciate the sentiment, though.

  • @balpha I'm glad the unicorn I sent to force you to stay succeeded. A sharpened horn is surprisingly motivating.

Dear Mr. Balpha,

with interest we, the Sodality of Stunningly Magnificent, have followed your recent expulsion from the organization calling itself "the league of awesome". We have kept close tabs on you, and we all feel that it is time to present you with the once-in-a-lifetime chance that is a permanent position in our very exclusive, highly secretive consortium. We do not constrain our members to arbitrary levels of magnificence under the threat of exclusion like other, more mundane associations do. To us, it is literally the sky that is the limit.

In response to Mr. Anna's smears, here's a few examples what the Sodality has to offer.

  • Free Drinks

  • A free-range Unicorn habitat in the caribbean

  • Means to escort Unicorns through Air Traffic Control to any location in continental europe. International destinations can be arranged

  • An on-call unicorn veterinarian 24 hours a day

If you are interested, please make use of the mass transit system of your city, carrying a salmon-coloured "Financial Times" newspaper.

Please make sure you choose the right transit system. (We are aware of the shortfalls of that particular system but even an organization as influential as ours can afford total control only for one railway, and that one came cheap.)

Ride the system and change trains frequently until you hear a polite announcement through the train's loudspeakers emitted by the actual train driver. That will be your cue. Alight at the next stop. We will be waiting for you.

Sincerely,

a friend

  • Okay, I tried to get a salmon-colo(u)red FT, but they only had them in pink. And the BSR personnel was very confused when I asked to use their mass transit system. Now what?

    Mr. @balpha please refer to my updated message. Mr. @Polly is actually a very shady character himself, so it's no wonder he feels compelled to sling some mud. Did you know he was indicted in the UK in the 1960s for embezzlement from the funds of the League of jolly good?

If there is a vacancy for the Friends of the league of Awesome, how might one apply? There may be some folks who think this is a league that requires applying for admission.

Others simply know you are in the league when you become awesome....

    I'm afraid applications for THE LEAGUE OF AWESOME are only accepted from current members of THE LEAGUE OF PRETTY COOL and, on rare occasion, members of THE LEAGUE OF I GUESS YOU'RE ALRIGHT.

    @Chacha102 - Thank you for your inquiry. We do not comment on pending applications. As stated in your application packet you can expect a response from the committee in six to eight weeks. Your application might take longer due to the ongoing investigation into your alleged membership in THE LEAGUE OF THE MORE THAN JUST A LITTLE ODD, but you should still receive a response within six to eight weeks of the normal six to eight weeks response time.
