Encinitas Organization’s Secret Password Revealed

“My grandpa told me about an olden-days TV show,” said a source who spoke on condition of anonymity. “It was called Lassie. It was about a boy, his collie dog and their family. They lived on a farm out in the country. 

“The dog’s name was Lassie,” said the source. “The boy’s name was Jeff and he had a friend named Porky. When the boys met, they yelled ‘Eee-Ya-Kee!’ from a distance as a greeting and a kind of password.

“I told the members of the Encinitas Equity Committee and the Encinitas4Equality organization about the show and the greeting,” said the source. “They all liked it, so we changed it a little bit and adopted it as our secret password. But we don’t yell it. We just enthusiastically say ‘Eee-4-Eee!’ as a greeting and to affirm we’re on the same team and have the same purpose.

“I don’t feel like a traitor for revealing the ‘Eee-4-Eee!’ password because it makes us inclusive,” said the source. “I think everybody should be on the E4E team and share our purpose. We should support our mayor and City Council because we know their good intentions. We know they sincerely want to level the playing field so everybody has the same opportunities and is treated with dignity and respect.

“We know our mayor and City Council members are all decent, unselfish people who always act for the good of the community,” said the source. “When we meet, all of us smile and enthusiastically say ‘Eee-4-Eee!’”
