What's An OTS?
Everything you need to know...
An endless argument.
As there is some debate on this subject I, Captain Nemo, have been called in to moderate. The opinions of different members are given in different colours. As you can see Mine is black.
OTS stands for Ordo Templi Sensibilium
This is particularly bad Latin but could be translated as 'The Order of
Sensible Templars'
This phrase has at least two meanings.
Zeno; The Book of the Arrow 21:1-3
OTS stands for Ordus Templii Sensibilia.
Which is really bad Latin but could be read as 'The Other Terrestrial
Symbols'
This is generally not understood.

The OTS stands for The Order of Tarqif Sorutin.
Nobody can remember what this means.
Nobody really cares either.

The OTS is an acronym for Opposable Thumbs Solution.
It is a reference to the humans apparent superiority in tool manipulation
that enables us to use things to do other things. Apparently this is good.

The OTS is made up of three distinct parts:
O;
T;
and S.
The fact that the letter 'D' can be used in the place of the letter 'O'
may be of significance.

There is some debate about the geographical heart of the OTS, all agree the source is Huddersfield (England) but some claim the new centre is Hull (England) while others deny this. The Lost One, a founding member, probably thinks the source is Leeds but as no-one can locate him we don't know. This all just goes to show that some people will argue about anything.
The OTS is an organisation designed to elucidate particular stuff.

We are nothing, yet here we ARE.
You won't believe us, but you will SEE us.
You may forget us, but you shall KNOW us.

The OTS is an organisation of sensible members
who know exactly what they are talking about at all times, no matter what
the subject is.
They are particularly good on the subject of not knowing what they are
talking about.
Good.
Spasm the Walking Fruitcake
Although it does pay for this by being completely unable to do anything at all.
Zeno; The Book of the Arrow 21:15
The OTS is what happens when a bunch of Graffiti Boys expand into the territory of pure mind.

For once I walk, free of strain,
only my thoughts, inside my brain.

So, what do we do? Everything.
We are fools, comedians, majickians, eaters of fine cheeses, readers of
tomes, tribal dancers, punks, big-beatz-phreax, programma's, artists,
musicianz, gabber-headz, havers-of-fun, drinkerz, smoka's, psychologists,
psionicists, right-hemisphere-activators, hard workers, busy students,
lazy loafers, extra-terrestrialz, intra-terrestrialz, males & females.

Every man, woman, child, animal, plant, rock,
atom, photon and waveform is the leader of the OTS.
Although they don't all know about it yet.
Zeno; The Book of the Arrow 21:4-5
In conclusion, the OTS is a group of people who do not necessarily know what an O.'.T.'.S.'. is.
