Next they must climb a rickety 98-foot-tall tower, tie vines to their ankles and dive to the ground, falling at speeds around 45 mph. When a dive goes correctly, the person gets close enough to touch his shoulders or his head to the earth. However, unlike bungee jumping, these vines aren’t elastic and a miscalculation in vine length could lead to broken legs, cracked skulls, or even death. (We lose more Mods that way)

After this, they live in seclusion from adults of the opposite sex for four to 24 weeks.

When the emerge from seclusion they place their hands into mittens filled with hundreds of bullet ants. The bite is approximately 20 times more painful than being stung by a wasp. The Admins will gather the ants and submerge them into a solution that temporarily knocks them out. The ants are then woven into the mittens. The new Mods will place their hands into the mittens and dance for 10 minutes. The ant’s sting prevents the body from protecting itself from pain. The body begins to convulse, and the pain can last up to 24 hours

Once the Mods prove themselves able to withstand these trials, they are given The Ban Hammer
That is worse than going to the dentist, good reason for not be a moderator and welcome aboard Steve this is a sick bunch on this forum

So Steve, were you looking at my notes when you ordered? I have something quite close to your "toy" planned for an April order and October delivery.

2015 Convertible, Z51, Torch Red, A6, 3LT, Black top, Black interior, Dual Mode Exhaust, Magnetic Ride, Red Calipers, Chrome 19/20 Wheels.

That should keep this 70 year old body smiling for a few more of my golden years.

That's nothing. They could be required to drive a 6 cylinder mustang for a few months, or worse yet, be a purchasing agent for our resident pilot.
