Enjoy the ride, RTFM, and don’t bother the moderators too much! All the others: thanks for the many kind words, I really appreciate it. I also realise that the fun is definately over now. My inbox showed about 50 new mails, and that was just from fellow moderators! Oh, goodie. Another one just came in. Gotta run! Behave yourselves. Hell hath no fury like a ClogBoy scorned 😃 ---

Well, I’m all fine and dandy with Clog Boy as a mod. But for some reason, I fear the day that Chief 🙂 Scott becomes a mod! 😉 ---

::stares in slack-jawed crogglement:: Coldy’s a _mod_! Hell, knew it was true when he pulled the “moderator clogs off/on” schtick with such panache–and got away with it. In all seriousness, there couldn’t have been a better choice. All praise to the keepers of the zoo, uh, _board_ and to you for taking on the task. I’m sure the fact that the staff lounge at the “Chicago Reader” now features legal pot, prostitutes and European beer is coincidental. Anyone we can bribe for photos/recordings of the next staff meeting? Joyous thanks and congratulations to Coldy, Veb ---

**Coldfire** : My favourite poster is now a mod. Cool! There is justice. I’ll have to visit MPSIMS more often. Good show! P.S. Getting this job must give you a _rush_. But please restrain your _bravado_. ---

I thought I would never see the day that my favorite Coldyclogs would become one of **them**. What’s next? Unclebeer is going to switch to the Democrats? Manhattan is going to move to Harlem? Tuba is going to switch to the drums? Seriously, congratulations on becoming one of the ruling class. ---

Veb – you’ll find it boring but…ok. There was / is a famous and extremely talented English soccer player who had a reputation for liking his beer followed by late night food. As a result, the supporters of opposing teams tease him by insinuating he’s chubby and unfit when actually he is fit and has a naturally full face. The idea is that 50,000 people chanting “Who ate all the pies” might put him off his game. I’m teasing Coldie in a similar ill founded, blokey kind of way – rather like people teasing him about the clogs thing. That’s it, exciting ? And now I’m worried about the comeback …. ---

Thanks, **London\_Calling**. Your kind explanation of the “pie thing” fortunately left _infinite_ horizons for applied mischief. (Ignoring banal truth, of course.) My imagination falters, but betcha assembled Dopers will invent unspeakable perversions involving Coldy and pastry. Sideways as always, Veb ---
