This always happens when I have a long, boring job at work …
(To the tune of “A Modern Major General” from “The Pirates of Penzance” by Gilbert and Sullivan; not quite the same verse structure, but hey, you get the idea …)
I am the very model of a message board administer
I watch for double posting and the IP address sinister
When faced with trolls or newbies I direct them to the FAQ
Or tell them just to go to hell (which I would much prefer to do.)
I’ll notify your ISP if you should get too devious
I’ll delete topics left and right that might get too michievious
Like ‘Words that End in Gry’ or ‘Ninety Seven Ways to Masturbate’
I am the very model of a message board administrate.
But if you want to be like me you must know lots of trivia,
Like how to tell the difference between Chile and Bolivia,
The differences in temperature of fresh and salt aquariums,
And just exactly what is meant by Latin honorariums.
I’ll make up rules for how to post and pray that people swallow 'em,
But just because I make them up don’t meant I have to follow 'em.
In fact when I can make up words like ‘nashtopack’ and ‘blinsiter’ (Note : Okay, it sucks, but YOU try finding a words that rhymes with ‘minister.’)
That proves that I’m the model of a message board administer.
Dude! That rocks! You’ll be my favorite administrator if you welcome me, so I can put it in my profile…actually, you’re still the coolest admin, so it doesn’t really matter, but a nice hearty welcome would be nice
It’s an interesting question…how long did that take? I mean, aren’t you payed to do something other than amuse us easilly amused dopers? I guess not, we’re not likely to cause trouble if we’re sedated…
Argeable, the mods don’t get paid. Well, they get a neat coffee mug, and maybe a T-shirt, but don’t quote me.
Euty made us laugh out of the goodness of his heart. He’s very nice like that, as are all the mods, IMHO. Considering what they have to put up with, it’s a wonder any of them post for kicks at all.
