Last night was the first primitive shelter night for the Fezians. This morning we compared notes on damages. Several peeps reported missing eyes and being completely wet. Some were just plain dirty and muddy, some were caught in the midst of a slug attack and one was just plain slimey. Two peeps reported that they stayed completely dry last night. One peep had slept in a hollowed out root surrounded by many layers of bark and squeezed dirt; the other peep slept in a hollow bit of stump with a mushroom shelf.
We learned and sang the Gibberish song and the Jeep song this morning. Both of these are absolutely excellent, please ask your homesteader to share! Three peeps were introduced this morning and their introductions may be found in the "Peeps" tab at the top of this page. Moving right along into Werk BerZerk, homesteaders were all about doing things needing doing. One contingent went out to the acre to improve primitive shelters and landscaping; the other contingent stayed behind in the peep loft to make peep repairs, work on cardboard models, house plans, peep bios, time and space capsules, and fill out job applications. Yesterday at meeting the Fed announced openings for the following positions: Trading Post Manager, Bank Manager, Radio Station Master, and Newspaper Editor. These positions seem to vary greatly, however the right candidates (according to the job descriptions) for all of these will be very bossy peeps. The Fed received several applications today, but we are really hoping to see a few more submissions on Friday. 
During our morning BerZerk catastrophe struck in the form of Emmett the dog. A homesteader dashed up to the peep loft with news that Emmett had stolen her perimeter string and ran off with it. This is first, very funny. Emmett is a very short dog with three crazy legs and one normal leg. He ran through and charged off into the woods with the string. He is very hard to catch in spite of his three crazy legs. This is second a lesson in the importance of constructing a good strong fence for your property right off the bat, and properly surveying your property. There really is no good reason to keep your perimeter string up overly long.Our afternoon was filled with more BerZerk and some job interviews. So far no peeps have come forward applying for the mega media control spot or corrupt banker/trading post manager, or knowing what FCC means. Again, hopes are high for Friday.
At meeting we discussed currency. Suggestions were made to use leaves or grass as currency; then we had the "Counterfeit Talk." Peeps chimed in that counterfeit was like shoplifting and that counterfeit currency is not made by the government or the mint. Discussion as to what to use ensued. Suggestions were: poop, strawberry seeds, pine needles, just checks (no currency), paper with stamps, and clothing. This discussion was tabled and a motion was made to decide the name first and then move onto the physical piece. Suggested currency names: mini pies, pineapple, farts, bowties, bazinga zooroonies, bouncey beach balls, mustaches, dough, sharks, pinks, peanut butter and jelly, buckets, fish fingers and custards, and boogers. A vote was called and fish fingers and custard won.
More discussion on the physical form of our currency followed. This was tabled and a motion was made to end the meeting. After corvee we played CTF!!!!!!Today we liked:
