So long as the sun sets at 9:03 p.m. on June 21, thus creating the longest day of the year, and that the same sun sets at 4:31 p.m. on Dec. 5, making for the shortest day of the year, but sets later by four minutes upon the arrival of the Winter Solstice, Dec. 21, we, the members of the Royal Order of the 21sters, do solemnly swear to celebrate the arrival of spring on Dec. 22.
In acknowledgement, be it remembered that we have surrendered our membership in the world of the so-called Normal People, and that among our other quirks and foibles is the realization that autumn is a long and lingering season between June 22 and about Nov. 1, that winter is assigned to the dark months only, November and December, and that on our ascendancy, Dec. 22, spring has arrived and that, furthermore, by the time of the Super Bowl, it might as well be summer.
Members in the Royal Order understand and accept that this is merely psychoogical delusion, but that it works for us to minimize the long barren months that so chill and despair the Normal People.
Understanding the commitment required and how it is so often accompanied by the derision of the NP, here then, is the Sacred Oath:
I __state name__, do hereby admit that I am not normal and that I am willingly surrendering normalcy to join my fellow 21sters in the belief, heartfelt, but no less ridiculous, that spring begins before Christmas and that autumn begins before the Fourth of July. Hooba, Hooba, Gunga, Gunga a Dunga. |

mailed an official certificate announcing your membership status.
