I'm not sure I want to move up the totem pole in this tribe..
That is unless I am already at number seven.In which case you all are beneath me.
Wait, that wouldn't make me very humble then would it.

This reminds me of a chapter from Dante's Book..
I just wanna go to PITS..

FORE!
It's usually darkest just before it turns Black..
