Part I of the Things I am not Allowed to Do at the PPC List.

Can be found on the PPC LJ Community here.

1. Replacing the Coffee in the cafeteria with tar is not funny.

3. I will not refer to my lightsaber as my phallic metaphor. Nor will I ask to see if someone's is bigger than mine.

4. I will ask about the Knob on the end of Gandalf's staff.

-or Saruman's.

5. Nor will I ask to see the pointy hat trick from Gandalf

-Dumbledore

-McGonagall

-Snape

-In fact the pointy hat trick will not be mentioned at all in the presence of witches or wizards.

6. I will not let the Minis steal the cursed Aztec gold. It's not nice to see them try to beg for bacon and not be able to eat it.

7. I will not tell the new recruits that fertilizer is what happens when the Flowers don't make it to the bathroom on time.

8. I will not use the new recruits for target practice.

20. Replacing wands with Weasley Wands is also not funny.

32. Issue a notice saying that all Bleeprin in HQ has been found to be contaminated and must be recalled.

33. On the rare times I find an excuse to cook, I will not quote MacBeth.

35. I will not tell any of the Flowers that HQ is on fire and it's going to reach them soon.

36. I will not ask any Canonical character if he or she sleeps with a sword or other similarly shaped weapon. That innuendo is dead and rotting.

37. I will not try to disprove the "theory" that Bleeprin does not mix well with alcohol in my response center.

-Nor any group of PPC agents.

-Except maybe the Bad Slash Department.

47. I will not place booby-traps in the Lounge.

48. I will not bring Detritus's Piecemaker into PPC Headquarters, no matter how much my Response Center would be improved by knocking the wall in and expanding.

52. I will not accuse people who bring in chocolate and/or alcohol and/or caffeine from outside of 'oversaturating the market'.

53. I will not attempt to discover whether or not freedom of speech extends to crying 'Mary Sue!' in a crowded cafeteria.

-It doesn't.

54. Trying to give New Recruit directions to their Response Centres is cruel, not funny.

-Especially when I tell them to try and walk up the walls. Gravity does work in HQ.

55. Saying 'Thank God it wasn't...' is forbidden, no matter what the situation.

-Tempting the ironic overpower does not make you cool. But it might get you shot.

-So is saying 'but what happens if I...'

-Unless you're alone; then go for it.

56. Putting Glitter into an Agent's coffee is not funny.

-Nor, when they try and kill you, is telling them not to come near you because you don't want to catch It.

57. Just because the Doctor can stitch your head back on doesn't make it okay to run around to throwing it at people screaming 'think fast'.

65. I will not rewire the HQ broadcast system to play "They're taking the Hobbits to Isengard!" on a continuous loop.

66. I will not replace toy lightsabres with real ones. Severed arms are not funny.

67. I will not tell Jedi holding lightsabres the correct way that "it's the other way 'round." Stabbing yourself accidentally is not funny.

68. Stabbing yourself on purpose is not funny either. That's what Bleeprin is for.

69. Urple paint is not funny, particularly when the Sunflower Official is covered in it.

70. Since I will use these words often in my work, I should stop making finger-quotes around the words "sword", "weapon", "lightsabre", "wand", "staff", etc.

71. I will not allow Agent Stormsong to watch Deliverance.

-Or allow him to read the sections of Something Positive involving the Redneck Trees.

-Or sing the Hedgehog Song to him.

-Or even mention the Hedgehog Song in front of him.

72. Constant jokes about Agent Stormsong "weaselling his way out of something" are not, nor have they ever been, funny.

-Nor Fangorn Forest.

82. I will not tell Wile E. Coyote that a portal is a magical field that will give him the ability to catch the Roadrunner.

83. Contrary to popular belief, doing a striptease in the middle of the Cafeteria will not score me points with Agent Suicide.

-Consequently, it goes the same for doing it in front of the Marquis de Sod.

-Or any Flower for that matter.

-Even if I'm not human/humanoid species.

84. I will not mock the janitors of the PPC headquarters.

-EVER.

-I will not introduce him to Spock.

-Or G'Kar

-Or Any other Alien life form.

-Or tell him that Sues really took his sister.

-Or introduce him to the MiB, it only gets his hopes up and he's been flashy thingied enough.

89. Creating a swimsuit calender for the PPC by superimposing Mary Sues over the Flowers is not funny.

90. I will not do an interpative dance of the Hunt of the Mary Sue, naked, for the canons.

99. I am not allowed to construct miniature Daleks out of whatever I have lying around the RC.

-Or if I do, I will not turn them loose in the halls.

-Even if it would be funny -it's not worth being chased by a 50ft tree.

121. I will not install cameras in the showers.

122. I will not attempt to kill anyone who tells me I have an obsession with violence.

-Or with sex.

-Or with pain.

123. I will not in any circumstances call an Assassin a necrophiliac.

-Really.

126. Having trouble remembering when it's appropriate to use your weapons? That's okay! Just sing this song! "This is my sword/ it's for killing Sues/ I don't use my weapon/ the agents to abuse." Remember: Mr. Weapon is not your friend unless you be careful with him!
