The Freemasons, the Illuminati, the Bilderbergs, the Knights Templar....

I don't know if anyone realizes it, but WE are a secret society. There are members of us everywhere. We are bonded by our unique interest in tickling. We are unique and special (to those who may be depressed out there right now, wishing you were special, worried about being different maybe..) Well, not only are you special, you are a member of the secret society of ticklers.

We are invisible. You may have even encountered another like you, talked to them, yet never knew you were speaking to a fellow society member. Our secret society is different from all others. We were born into it. We are ticklephiles, now and forever.

Few know we exist. Secret societies have members who are secret, have secret identities, have secret signs, and are formed to promote aims, forge togetherness and acceptance, and have "secret power."

We all know our secret power. The power of tickling. They ever need an interrogator, a gentle torturer, someone to take out the guards, well, we are the only ones who could do it and not only not hurt them, but leave them with a smile on their face!


Now, this being said, well, this had to be said. To those members and lurkers who wondered about their identity, wondered what this was all about, wondered "who they are," why they come here. You are a member of this hidden group.

I think this group finally had to be framed in this way. This is basically what we are, but we are more exciting than the rest, but we can tickle! Now, a question and a frustration that has cropped up among contributing members and lurkers alike is, "Man, I wish I KNEW who was a ticklephile. I don't want to tickle someone who isn't, or assume someone is when they aren't, then be embarrassed afterwards." If only there was a way to know who is interested in tickling, who is a member of the tickle community.

People have suggested articles of clothing, or an orange pen, or feather shaped pin, for example. But then the worries, "What if some closeminded person just happens to be wearing a feather pin, or use an orange pen to take notes, and you think she is a tickle enthusiast, but it turns out she just uses an orange pen! How embarrassing!

But secret societies have secret signs, secret symbols, secret names, that only they use. The Freemasons have their unique symbols, the Illuminati, are supposed to have the all seeing eye, and other symbols.

We are a secret society. But we need a NAME, a unique name that identifies US, that few will know about, unless maybe they are tickled, or are looking for a tickling, and know that a member of this society can give it to them. (In fact, the only people who would come looking for one of us, would be someone who wants to be tickled...what a cool notion...)

We need a SIGN, not a feather, or maybe involving a feather, but take a look at the Illuminati sign, a Freemason symbol. We need a SYMBOL that only we would use. A clear cut example, that if someone has a pin in that shape on, they are a ticklephile, no questions asked. One that only WE hold, not to be lightly lent out or given away. You must be a ticklephile to have one. Unless you meet a new ticklephile who needs one, then you can give them one. They could be made into pins, etc., and would obviously be rare (and powerful, because those who own one, well, can REALLY make someone laugh...)

We need to end the wonder about who is and who isn't a ticklephile. But, we also need to grow and expand.

People can hear our name, I mean, as an act of the secret society, I listed in a previous post websites that we can lobby to begin producing tickling material. (We are useless if we just say we are a secret society, yet do nothing. Action should be taken, and many have already taken it, and many of you have already succeeded. Companies that never thought of tickling have done one or two videos. Good job!) But there is still a LOT of work to do. We haven't even scratched the surface.

We need a NAME.
We need a SYMBOL.

SO, any ideas?
 
Project Mayhem

The first rule of the TMF is... don't talk about the TMF!

The second rule of the TMF is you do NOT talk about the TMF!



If it's your first night, you have to tickle.
 
The only difference between us and those other societies, Mabus, is that we're not EVIL. Or, actually, maybe some folks here are...

Anyway.

I remember the orange pen idea. I even kept my eyes open for someone carrying one for a spell there. Never saw a one though, unfortunately.

Hmm. A sign. Something inocuous but uncommon.

Say!

Here in Los Angeles, there's this little Mom & Pop chain of underground coffeeshops. Don't know if it's nationwide or just local. They've got these white cups with green and black markings, and the shop name is something like Starbocks or Starbacks. How 'bout we ticklers start carrying around the big-ass Starbacks cups, and the ticklees can carry the small Starbacks cups (only at Starbacks, they call the smalls "tall," for some weird reason!). Let's try it out. Whadya say?

Okay, you might come up with a better idea.

But, for the record, because of my postings here in this Great Forum of ours (one forum, under mods, indivisible...), I received quite a few emails from other guys here in Los Angeles who want to compare notes, stay in touch, grab a drink, etc. This place is probably one of the best ways to meet people who want to meet.

And, of course, the VERY best way to meet people who want to meet is through "les gatherings," which is just a long fancy French word that means "the gatherings."

But I understand the excitement of closing the laptop, donning the shades, stepping out in the bright sunshine, and spotting that secret something that means one of us on a person standing in line for the versateller. Or in front of us at the supermarket. Or barefoot and all smiles, behind us in the movie theater.

Look, I'm gonna try the Starbacks thing. See if it catches on. Meanwhile, you guys come up with something better and let me know. I promise I'll try it out.

Due to a recent ruling by the US 9th Circuit Court of Schlmeils, you are not permitted to mention "Mod" in the Pledge. Something about the separation of feather and state.

Which brings up an interesting theological question: If one of the moderators has a male child, would he be the "Son Of Mod?" 😎
 
I do enjoy adding a little spice to life. If you guys want to turn this forum into a guild of sorts, power to you, I'll play. I will say this, when you form a secret society, people get paranoid. I have a little crew down here, we just pull pranks on people, but the local authorities will stakeout our houses from time to time. Although this is a lot different, if people did find out, paranoia will be flying around, you can bet on it. But I like to do things my way, and life can be a little dull if you let it go that way, so I'll make some suggestions.

Our symbol could be of a wolf with wings. Not really a common symbol, but effective. Doesn't have much to do with tickling, but we could say, "It has feathers," or some nonsense like that, I just think a wolf with wings looks cool.

Our name could be Risata di Cielo (check my Italian please) Laughter of Heaven. I realize we're not all religious, in fact, I'm not really all that religious. However; I do like the sound of that name.

Just the words of a foolish, but cautious, youth.
 
cyrano, and boomtown13

cyrano, how about laughter from heaven?
a flying wolf? well, if nothing better come along.
boomtown, the cup idea won't work. they aren't all over the country, and that may be a goo thing for your idea to work, actually. others besides tickphiles will have them and thats where the trouble will come in.
i still like the idea of a small, multi-colored feather lapel pin. anyone who's not one of us that asks about it can easily be side tracked by saying it from our kid, etc.
the idea of a symbole for us is great, the problem is getting the ladies to go along with it.

Production...

Actually, getting it produced and members actually shelling out money for it would be a bigger problem, imo. But,.....in theory it's an awesome concept! BTW, I believe the StarBucks thing is an attempt at humor guys...there's hundreds of them all over the city, so as a "secret signal" it leaves a bit to be desired...lol.. Q
 
One sure-fire, fool-proof way of getting noticed (and identifying others) would be for everyone to wear big, glowing neon signs. On second thought, we'd all need REALLY long extension cords. I have enough trouble getting tangled up in Christmas tree lights. Never mind...back to the drawing board. There is a strange group up here in the Frozen Tundra who wear styrofoam cheese wedges on their heads (gee, I wonder what secret society THEY'RE part of??) I hear their "gatherings" are a sight to behold...
 
That's certainly something to consider. However, I'm not sure you could convince us ladies to wear a foam rubber foot on our heads. It flattens the hair.

Well John (in the science of tickling research)~ you can try this and let me know how it works:

While men are looking at womens feet to see if they are ticklicious... I would bet the women are gazing at your eyes and checking out your fingers to see if they are meant to tickle ... LOL You can always draw attention to one of your fingers somehow.. Maybe a smiley drawn on your index fingertip. Imagine the conversations that could start! Henna Tatoo it on !

Me.... I know I love the feel of skin on skin for tickling. There is nothing like it..


p.s....I just had to come back and add this.... Would the guys do this to enhance their chance of meeting like minded folk or is it a sign of not being a tough guy.. ? lol I am dying to know... so please don't let the buck stop here ..... let me know what you think! I would die if I was in the grocery line and I saw a guy looking at my feet, then flash me the little smiley face ! I know the ice cream may also melt by the time I get home LOL


This commentary was brought to you to share an idea and not to solicit tickles from creative people online ... LOL .. I can share these ideas right? 😉

All Ways Ticklish,
Donna

clear up some confusion...

Okay, fisrt off, in response to Boomtown13, no, we're not evil. Secret societies can be good. This one IS. We bring laughter and joy and happiness to the world. In fact, here's a project: (whe we get a name.) Donate money to charity, small amount, large amount, whatever you want. Maybe we can even have fund-raisers here, except we all just at once send the money to, say, St. Jude's Hospital. (Therefore, no extra costs, 100% goes to charity.) BUT, we say, this is from ***, (our name)
They will ask, hmm, wonder who that is. Maybe they will find out, maybe they won't. We'll tell them this is a charity ebnefit for them, and they will see that name in real small print. Maybe there will be ticklephiles around, and they will discover us, and we will have a new member. BUT, most importantly, we will have a great name for ourselves. They may think it's slightly weird, but the overall impression will be good. Once again, changing the perception of ticklers and ticklees as weird to something good. I mean, the Knights of Columbus are looked upon as a great organization, but lets face it, if they didn't do charity work, they would be considered a bunch of old kooks, with their huge hats and swords and weird outfits. But because they do a lot of good for others, the are celebrated. The perception is diffeent.

Now, onto the symbol. I just got back from the library researching ancient symbols. I'm not talking about simply a feather, or starbucks cup, or anything reconizable. I mean a symbol created new, that no one anywhere will have, so there will be absolutely no mistaking that if someone has that symbol on themselves or on an article of clothing or cup, or whatever, that they are a ticklephile (more likely, a member, because there are still ticklephiles out there, all alone, who don't know we exist, and haven't found the acceptance that we all have received here from each other) Obviously, everyone would have one at a gathering.
If someone asks you what it is, you don't have to tell them it's a symbol for tickling. You can say, "yeah, this is my pin." "I can't tell you, it's a secret." Whatever.

Thank you, Q. I appreciate you getting my back on that one. And in the future I'd like to count on you to be there for me whenever my deadpan falls a little more dead than pan. I know you get my twisted humor.

Donna, love the smiley face on the fingertip idea! Perfectly symbolic. A bazillion times better than an orange pen, not as cliche as a feather. A smiley face. On a fingertip. Cuz these fingertips here, they make people smile. Brilliant.

For a little while there, I carried around Robert Coover's short story "The Babysitter," hoping an intellectual-type doll would notice it and want to talk about it. Great mainstream tickling in that tale. When I was 16, before I was "out" with my bad tickler self, a girl who knew me better than I thought she did handed me this story sying, "Um, I think you'll really like this one."

Uh... we've all read "The Babysitter"... right? WHAT?! Turn off the computer this instant and go get that story right now! Right now! (And while you're in the bookshop, you're allowed to steal glances for bare feet -- it's such a great setting.)

And, hey, Donna -- how'd you know my name was John? I mean, how'd you know my name MIGHT be John... I mean, where... I... oh. NEST 2000, right? The Boomtown in the middle, 50 ticklee-fingers getting revenge? It's all so... distant.

The rest of you, I need you to direct your gaze to this white flashy thing I have right here.


- FOOM -


There. Thanks, Q. For getting my back.

Great idea about the smiley face, Donna.

Smiley finger...

I like that one! It's innocuous, noone will ask questions about, and those "in the know" will recognize it immediatly...great! Also, I rather like the flying wolf.

It would certainly give new meaning to giving someone the finger. 🙂
Look, there's a smiley face now...

Did I say John? hmmm I meant to type BOOM I am sure of it!! Who is John anyway ??? He was the guy in the corner right? My mistake how could I be so silly??



SO did you get yor smiley tatoo yet, Mr Boomtown? lol

Donna
 
Big downer on us as a secret society............none of us can metamorphose into 8 foot bi-pedal reptilians on command. Unless there are any Annunaki half-breeds among our membership???? :blaugh:

As for possible names, I'd suggest.....

Society for the Hybridisation of International Ticklephiles...........

Community for the Rehabilitation of Anally-retentive Perverts......


Damn, but I love acronym jokes!!!!!! :devil: :devil: :devil:

Any more from you guys out there? 😀 😛 😉

... Hmm, someone's been reading David Icke.

And Elaah, before I tattoo the smiley face on, I think I'll just draw it for the first few weeks. In fact, I'll draw it on right now, before I go to sleep, and see if I meet any ticklees in my dreams.

And speaking of ticklees in my dreams, I just realized that my cavebear's name, Ayla, sounds an awful lot like your name, Elaah.

Ayla, I'd like you to meet Elaah.
Elaah, Ayla.

I know you already met. Just wanted to see how that would sound.

BoomaBooma
 
the Starbucks thing wouldn’t work for me. love my Dunkin Donuts coffee too much.

but the smiley face! Elaah, I love that! there would be no wondering if someone just happened to have a smiley face on their fingertip. and it could easily be explained away by a slow day at work and a silly mood. you know, if anyone should ask about it without that gleam in their eye.

I may need one on my finger and a toe.

did it work, Tiger? I don’t seem to be able to stop the dreams. smiley induced may just send me right over the edge.

Hello Ayla!! and Mr. Boom(not John)Town.... 😉

I remember having one on my toe one time ! Having it drawn there was bad enough! BUT getting it to come off was even worse!!! ( maybe better?) LOL Come on over Ayla. I'll see if I can get it drawn pefectly on there for you .. 😉

The smiley with that gleam is the Perfect Ticklee combination...

and Boom, you will have to let us know how it works...

Donna aka elaah ~ Ayla's friend
 
Or we could..

...pop one of these on when we wanted to be noticed...LOL...

hmmm....

I was thinking, and still am thinking, about a REAL, mysterious symbol, perhaps containing heiroglyphics. Now everyone's thinking smiley faces... GOOD! This means we will definitely NOT be an evil secret society. (We still need a name, we've got one thrown out there so far...)

And we need, as all secret societies do, RULES.

get cracking, folks...

How bout a flying Hyena ? Think about it...the wings have feathers...and isn't the Hyena sometimes called the "laughing " Heyena because they sound like they're laughing?
 
This is a great thread! I was thinking of something. I assume we're looking for some subtle identification so that we can find other ticklephiles in the general public.

I have never met another ticklephile in public. Period. What I've done in the past is just post specific but anonymous info about myself on tickle sites. After all, only us ticklephiles pretty much go to these sites. I started on Yahoo Clubs and later here in the TMF, just giving a general physical desciption and ASL. It was my hope that other ticklephiles would look at this and say "Hey, this guy is from South Louisiana, and so am I, let me drop him a line."
For some reason, this has NOT worked for me at all, and I've yet to find anyone down here either.

It's possible that there are still some ticklephiles out there that don't know about the TMF. Another idea I recently started using was having some tickle toon with me in class. There are some talented artists that make tickling art, so if someone comments on them, I just say my friend/someone I know drew it and gave it to me (make comment on art or some junk). This obviously won't work for our more shy members and for those not in college. I don't know, just some ideas I'm throwing around, seeing if something sticks.

I like the idea of having some unifying symbol. I personally like the smiley faced finger. I think I'll start using that.


peace
