(quoting Faeona, from the message base)
Don't we need some kind of secret sign? I mean, I have yet to
encounter anyone who says, "Blessed bah" and yet, I'm pretty sure
I've come across more than one EG recently.
How will I know that? By what sign?

Covenant #8: Of Signs and the UVL
And it came to pass that the prophet, having been greatly educated in
the ways of the wise and having learned much of philosophy and
theological studies, did question in his head that which he knew in
his soul.
This questioning did weigh heavily upon the prophet to the detriment
of his sleep and thus did the prophet wake one morning before dawn,
crying out in a loud voice to the UVL "Oh great and mighty UVL, give
unto me, thy humblest of servants, a SIGN of thy glory!" And lo, the
sun did peek over the horizon, illuminating the heavens in a display
of glory. But the prophet was too wise to read this sign and went
out into the world on a quest for his answer.
After a time, the prophet did lift up his eyes unto the sky and
proclaim in a loud voice "Oh great and mighty UVL, give unto me, thy
humblest of servants, a SIGN of thy greatness!" And lo, the Eternal
Blue Sky of the heavens did smile down upon the prophet in a display
of greatness. But the prophet was too wise to read this sign also
and went further afield in his quest for an answer.
And so the prophet did again lift up his eyes unto the sky and
proclaim in a loud voice "Oh great and mighty UVL, give unto me, thy
humblest of servants, a SIGN of thy power!" And lo, the in heavens
did gather a thunder storm of great magnitude that did release its
energy upon the earth in an undeniable display of power. Yet even
so, the prophet was also too wise to read this sign and did continue
in his quest for an answer.
Yet again did prophet lift up his eyes unto the sky and proclaim in a
loud voice "Oh great and mighty UVL, give unto me, thy humblest of
servants, a SIGN of thy caring!" And lo, the waters of the thunder
storm did gather together into a stream that did nourish the parched
landscape in a poetic display of caring. Still, the prophet was too
wise to read this sign and did continue his search for an answer.
Once again the prophet did lift up his eyes unto the sky and proclaim in
a loud voice "Oh great and mighty UVL, give unto me, thy humblest of
servants, a SIGN of thy eternity!" And lo, the stream was joined by
other streams until they had formed a mighty river that did flow even
unto the ocean where the winds did carry the vapor thereof up into the hills
where it fell as rain and to the mountains where it fell as snow,
beginning the cycle anew in a demonstration of eternity.
And yet, remarkably, the prophet was too wise to read even this sign
and did cry out again in a loud voice saying "Oh UVL, if thou doth
exist, thou has shown unto me that thou carest not to answer me, thy
humblest of servants, so I do hereby declare thee VOID, for time and
again thou hath not seen fit to give me a SIGN otherwise!"
And it was then that the UVL did send a messenger in the form of the
Fallen Angel of Sarcasm unto the prophet saying "Look, dolt. Just
because ya can't read 'em doesn't mean the signs ain't there. So
here's a sign ya can remember!" and the Fallen Angel of Sarcasm did
give the Most Holy Dope Slap unto the prophet saying "You're all wet!"
And so it is, that when Grouches meet one another on the street that
they exchange this self-same greeting, as we have been taught by the
messenger from the UVL. Yeah, verily, do the Grouches greet one
another with the Most Holy Dope Slap and the admonition "You're all
wet!" as a sign unto one another. Blessed be the name of the UVL.
