How to join the Neighborhood Weirdos:
The first step is, put aside all feelings that people are going to be judging you. Lock them up in a box and throw away the key. Then throw away the box. We're here to have fun and we're not going to let the Haters stop us!
It will also be helpful to have a basic understanding of our termanology. Though it can also be found on the "Categorize the Reaction" page, we will include a basic understanding of it here so you won't be confused.
Hater- Like the name suggests, a Hater is someone who hates everything to do with weirdos. These people are perfectly justified to their opinion, though it is rather sad that they miss all the fun they could be having! With Haters the best thing you can do is be nice and polite, and inside feel pity for them. It's not their fault they're a Hater. Though they are often quite rude, that's just unfortunate. Above all, be polite!
Weirdo- Not to be confused with a Neighborhood Weirdo, NW for short. Weirdos are just anyone else who likes to have fun and doesn't care what anyone else thinks about them! They make great members when they join!
Neighborhood Weirdo- A member of the club! Also called NW's for short. NWs are weirdos, and then they take it to the next level! They travel around the neighborhood performing odd exploits for the entertainment of themselves and others.
Ignorant- A group of people who don't know of the fun of being weird, but don't flat out hate us either. Nice people, though they're missing out!
That's some of our basic termanology. So now, let's get back to the matter at hand. How do I join the Neighborhood Weirdos?
Let's start with our code of conduct.
1. Do not seriously bother someone. I know this can sometimes be hard to determine, but when in doubt be cautious. Our goal here isn't to send you and your buddies to jail. Our goal is to have fun. That means no doorbell ditching, no prank calls, and no exploits that can actually hurt anybody. Got it? Good. We don't want reports of someone breaking these rules.
2. We will retain our dignity at all times. And that means we will basically lose it all. But at the same time we will gain a new time of honor: the honor of entertainment.
3. Remember that you represent a group much bigger than yourselves. Follow any specific rules that your neighborhood might have.
4. This is not an exlcusive club! Be welcoming to anyone and everyone. Take the time to talk to someone about our beliefs on the importance of fun without preaching to them about how you're better than them in any sort of way.
5. Have fun! What's the point of doing this is you're not having fun?
Now let's take our pledge. Raise your right hand. And we mean it. If you feel dumb, well, it's good practice for not caring what others think. Are you raising your hand? Good. Now repeat after us. "I (insert your name here) pledge to provide entertainment for myself and others with little regard for my own public image. I promise to follow the code and never cross the Line. I will be kind to the Haters, encouraging to the weirdos, and entertaining for the ignorant. And above all, I will have fun."
Congratulations! You are now part of the Neighborhood Weirdos!
