The origin of the acronym MB

I was long doubting whether I would write this blog post. It will be pathbreaking and shocking for some, as it involves me, Airfix_9, michaelblake and MB.

I need to take you back to the origin of the “Marx Brothers”. When Airfix_9 and myself looked for a name for this clan, we had a lot of difficulties. It could not be too corny, it could not be too intellectual, it could not be too boring. If you look at the name of many of the clans out there, they are just that. Anybody ever cared to know what TVST stands for? No, indeed. Keep it that way. The second difficulty – and here comes the shocker, part one – was that it had to be based on the acronym MB.
You see, Airfix_9 and me have the ability to look in the future. Granted, we have many deficiencies (being smart, cute, interesting to be around, funny, …) but we both have the magical gift of being able what will happen in the future. That is also why Airfix_9 hasn’t blogged so far, because she knows that michaelblake will join at one point. We created this clan especially for Michael Blake (MB!). He is our Saviour and we are his following (it is similar to the story of Jesus Christ, who equally had a beard. JC didn’t want to create a new religion, he wanted to revive the Jewish faith by taking it back to its core. It were only his Apostles and the many believers who created the church.) So, in essence, we always KNEW Michaelblake was joining powersoccer and we always knew he would join Marx Brothers. We also knew that he was our Saviour. And that is why we created a clan with the acronym MB and build our “church” around our Saviour, Michael Blake.

At the same time, we told our clan brothers at their introduction into MB that one day our Saviour will come and he will be recognizable by a beard. That is why our clan brothers were on the lookout for the best beard out there and all roads let to Michaelblake, All Saviours come with beards. You have to admit that growing a beard is a lot of work. You have to comb it. You have to keep it perky all the time in order not to scare women away. You have to balance it right in order not to look like a Taliban warrior or worse, George Clooney. In other words, you don’t grow a beard for your pleasure. That is also why Michaelblake HAS a beard. It is not because he likes it, it is not because Mrs. Blake likes it. There were secret forces in his head pushing for beard grow. It was like he was compelled to do this for a greater good. And all the pieces of the puzzle know fit neatly. Michaelblake, Saviour, we worship you.
