Me (Kickstand) with Jawa the Putts (right)Being the president of the Nobody Motorcycle Club is not always a pleasant and enjoyable job. There are tough decisions and gut churning situations that come my way occasionally. Some times that problem is a person. At our last Muffin Ride we initiated two new Nobodies; Gutts (Stacy) and Jawa the Putts (Dave). It became apparent to myself and Vice President Pretzel that we were going to have problems with Jawa. Usually our simple Nobody Initiation (NI) breaks down the inductees ego so they are receptive to the Nobody Indoctrination Process. Pretzel and I noticed on our first ride with Jawa that he was not buying into our Nobody philosophy and that our NIP would not work on him. We attempted on several other rides to get him on track, but all our attempts were met with a strong defense system and a feeling of self importance and adequacy. We had to break this guy down before we lost him. Jawa the Putts required an initiation ride. We have only resorted to an initiation ride on three other occasions. The ride isolates, disorients and deprives the participant until all they want is to be a Nobody.

Notice the change in Jawa (in the picture above) to a more compliant member
After several hours of riding, Jawa was not sure if he was still in Minnesota. He was relieved and sobbing when he saw the sign indicating he was near his home. His relief and sense of security and safety gave me the perfect opportunity to deliver the final blow to his sense of self.
Using my numerous martial arts skills, I beat every ounce of self awareness and esteem out of Jawa and as the sign so aptly indicates he is now one of us.
When I left Jawa at his cabin, he was relax and very content about "just being a Nobody".
