That’s really not funny. Gangs aren’t something to be taken lightly. I would know. I live among them, for cryin out loud.
I dunno, Catherine. I’ve found (and take personal anecdotal evidence for wht its worth) that humor and good-natured ridicule is a very effective tool at combating bad behavior.
Can you imagine some young kid, full of teenage angst, thinking to himself “Gee, I really want to belong to something and be thought of as ‘cool’ but if I join a gang, people will think I’m some kind of nerdy blogger”
Well, from the midst of Detroit, hardly a gang-free utopia, I think it’s hilarious. Perhaps we need an appropriate hand-sign. Perhaps an “L” with the thumb and forefinger of the right hand, and an “O” with the fingers of the left hand for Liturgical Orthodoxy.
Fr Z is so 1337
There are also the hand signals used by Liturgical Referees.

You really need to put up a drink warning before posting things like this. My monitor…
“Fr Z is so 1337”
Okay, Brian…translation please? You’re so street.
I’m not saying this is dangerous or anything…I’m just saying it’s not funny.
Lynne –
1337 is a hackerish mutilation of “leet” (substituting numbers for letters they supposedly resemble, even if backwards), which stands for “elite”. As in “Dude, you’re really among the 1337 hackorz”.
