OMFG, Roberts Rules of Order just got invoked

Shit's getting real at the town council meeting.

Are you watching what I'm watching?

Dearest taterguy,  Robert's Rules of Order is not something that is "invoked."   It is the ruling order of the meeting.  Once the council chose to use it when  they voted on their bylaws it rules supreme.  Perhaps the moron council was reminding everyone they have meeting procedure that must be followed?

Morons.  The whole damn lot of them.

H5.  I thought the same thing earlier, and tried to find a video clip of Victor Quartermaine invoking Queensbury rules, but couldn't track one down.  :-)

Wouldn't that be the Mrs. of the Marquis?  I don't care enough to Nadin it, though.

Yes, it would. I just copied the error for the sake of consistency.
