Eight Inch Girth

Example of a Dockument


Note: Rule changes may have changed the accuracy of this example. For more information on the formatting of future Dockuments, see the Terms and Rules below.

This Dockument is brought to you in part by Gladiator.

Commodus: They tell me your son... screamed like a girl when they nailed him to the cross. And your wife... moaned like a whore when they ravaged her again... and again... and again.
Maximus: Dock.

In order to vote, list the name and number of the dock. (ex. Jeff:1 - yes / no)

Jeff
1) Took off pants and proceeded to hump Lars' bed. (7/19, Lars)
2) Insulted Michael's mother. Michael asked, "What does a colon look like?" Jeff responded instinctively, "Your mother." (7/19, Michael)
3) Indecent flatulence in the cooking area. (7/20, Zack)
4) Inappropriate and offensive language. Lars to Jeff, "Where are you going?" Jeff, "Your mother's ******." (7/20, Michael)
5) Defaming JP's personal whiteboard. (7/20, JP)

JP
1) Mooned and then rubbed his big jelly filled behind on Lars' bare arm. (7/19, Lars)
2) Pulling hairs out of his *** with tweezers. JP did not initiate this behavior in private.

Lars
1) Inappropriate joke at the Chelan water park. Even the younglings heard. (7/14, Zack)
2) Emptied **** basket onto Zack's bed when Zack was not around. Lars may have left at least one of his "donations" in Zack's pillow case.

Michael
1) Took off his pants, pulled his underwear up as high as possible, and began pelvic thrusting in the direction of Lars' bed. (7/19, Lars)
2) Eating out of the compost bowl. Michael blended the food waste, added a bit of sugar and water, then consumed the product.

Zack
1) Bad / poorly received joke at Chelan campsite. (7/15, Lars)
2) Text fail. Zack sent a text that reads, "Hey! I've been listening to a ton of Joanna newsome, who always makes me think of you. Miss you! Will I see you on Tuesday?" Lars received it instead of the intended recipient. (7/20, Lars)
3) Failure to pay the Washington State usage tax on the carpet he carries with him at all times.

  2. Rosa Parks would be proud. My boycott clearly worked. Jeff, thank you for finally relenting to the considerable public pressure which I'm sure must have been exerted upon you.

    Concerns:
    The "openly revealing" rule seems hard to enforce. Intent is tricky to disprove.
    The eligible docker lying about whether he/she still has a dock to give may cut down on spurrious docking (instances where people act crudely towards housemates knowing that said housemate has no dock for the week). However, since docker must reveal the dock to the recipient within 8 hours, this doesn't provide more than a temporary protection for people afraid of retaliatory shennanigans (a dock recipient acting against a docker, knowing they have immunity.)
    Also, since docking information is freely avaliable, Housemate X may dock housemate Y, who might tell housemate Z, who might poop in housemate X's shower without repercusion.

    My proposal to solve this is as follows: Dockers may switch their dock of the week up to 15:59 on Sunday. The time period from 15:59 to 11:59 on Sunday is elligible for docking on either the current week or the following week.

    Ideas for penalties: Chores.
    6 docks: Whole house clean (including roommate's bathrooms, and if requested, bedrooms.)
    5 docks: all public spaces cleaned, excluding bathrooms.
    4 docks: Deap clean of kitchen, living rooms & dining room (including fridge & fireplace, microwave & oven.)
    3 docks: clean of kitchen, including fridge & microwave& oven.
    2 docks: cut grass in front/cut grass in back/ trim trees/ sweep leaves
    1 dock: pastries for the house.

  3. Amendment 1:

    When a dock is openly announced by the docker, either at the time of the dockable offence, or within the next 8 hours, the docker reveals that he has an intent to dock. Intent is proven when the docker submits a dock to the dock master. If no dock is submitted after a dock is revealed, then the docker in question is stripped of docking privileges for the week. The dock master will be aware of the falsified dock by notification of the dock recipient. A dock recipient will notify the dock master when, 8 hours after the dockable offence, the dock recipient has not received a detailed submission of the dock from the docker.
