Serendipty Welcomes 'Squirrelfoot' To Depleted Ranks; "Defensive Over-reaction?"

Hit hard by Hotfoot's accusations that they're a bunch of slackards, the Serendipity Membership Activation Committee (SMAC) went into emergency session over the weekend and issued an invitation to "Squirrelfoot" to become a Pink Puffer.

"We had three or four pretty good applicants," said SMAC Member #2 (the identity of members of this committee is necessarily and understandably withheld from public disclosure), "and the thing that impressed us was Squirrelfoot's use of his own personal web page to promote his candidacy. Without that, he'd just be a guy hanging around the house dressing up in funny stuff. On the web, he's got character."

SMAC Member #3 admitted it may be a problem that the committee isn't sure exactly who Squirrelfoot is or if he's enrolled yet in Run Camp, "but those are just details. I know he's going to fit in."

At least one committee member felt the addition was a "defensive over-reaction" to unexplained and unexcused absences and lack of team spirit, charges leveled by Hotfoot last week after breakfast at McGinness Landing proved to be a bust. "I think we need to get our hard partiers back," said SMAC Member #4, "and then see if we think we've still got a problem."
