I was listening to the radio during a quick dash out to the bank in the rain about half an hour ago. As most folks here know, I'm in the New Jersey area,
so I tend to hear a lot of NYC stations, and in this case I was listening to WCBS 880 AM, an all-news station. There was a piece about a group of college
students advocating the right to carry weapons on campus, their activism no doubt timed to coincide with the Columbine anniversary, and their relatively
civilized conflict with a group of opposite opinion. I wouldn't have given it much thought except my mind -- which is constantly playing with words and
numbers in anagram/acronym/shuffle kinds of ways -- converted the name of the group to an acronym and I said to myself, no way in hell did no one try to
abbreviate and pronounce it.
The group is the New York Students for Concealed Carry on Campus -- NYSCCOC.
I am reminded of the group founded by Rimmer in Red Dwarf: the Committee for the Liberation and Integration of Terrifying Organisms etc.

Then the horns kicked in...
...and my shoes began to squeak.
