Ah, yes, expressing one's individuality while a member of a large group truly is a challenge.

Unless of course you happen to be at a Roman orgy, then you can express yourself in many ways, few of them currently legal. I hope Kilroy is no relation to that smarmy, jumped up, moron Robert Kilroy-Silk?

Robert Kilroy-Silk is an ex-Labour MP who was given a really rubbish show (called, oddly enough, "Kilroy") on BBC1 at about 9.00 in the mornings. It was a crappy version of Jerry Springer or Oprah and regularly features such dull discussions as "I'm an ex-Labour MP and everybody hates me, what shall i do?", that sort of thing. He now presents a s***ty gameshow on ITV on Monday evenings called "Shafted" which is an appallingly bad version of "The Weakest Link". OK?

about mob behavior. You want to participate, you follow the rules.
Ran into that when I tried to write a comedy show for a cooperative radio station. I was the wrong kind of liberal. I wanted a little form, a little structure so we could enter the structure and go nuts.
That's the nice thing about w****houses and and places where they use Robert's Rules of Order, you know what goes on in there.
But it was a case of 'we have to see the scripts' and you've got to let people have their opinions.
Kilroy was here is an interesting anecdote but it still talks about a phenomenon where a rigidly controlled group has rigidly controlled methods of insurrection. An officer that would just smile at 'kilroy' would probably blow his stack about a more individualized form of expression.
When I was at Ft. Benning, I saw IHTFP spray-painted and markered in the strangest places. The Sergeants said it stood for 'I Have Truly
Found Paradise'. I found out very quickly from the back channels that it was not the case.
I, on the other hand, wore a Kermit the Frog wristwatch in basic training.

IHTFP...that is pretty standard in military installations in America, although I don't know about overseas. It means, "I hate this f*#@ing place."

Upon reflection, at the Roman Orgy, wouldn't an expression of individuality be to keep one's clothes on and try to hold a conversation?
