Damn, you folks at the SD work fast! I’m gone a few hours and the whole board changes - new mods everywhere and even a new forum! My mind is still boggling. But I’ve found that a little alcohol helps with the boggles, and I wanted to congratulate all of the new mods - as usual, the SD staff have done a wonderful job selecting moderators - how do ya’ll do that? I think they are all going to be great! Terrific choices! This board just keeps getting better and better. (I know, it sounds like plain old sucking up, but I really mean it. I do!) ---

And the day good, old honest sucking up is discouraged is the day I become a moderator on the LBMB! ---

BTW, slythe, it would be helpful if each moderator would post which items they prefer as bribes and/or apologies - we all know about chocolate, of course, but do the new mods have any particular preferences? I like to plan ahead . . . 😉 ---

I don’t really have to explain _my_ preference, do I? ---

Chocolate? The good stuff. Beer? Nothing good ever came out of a bottle with an animal on the label. Green bottles are bad, and French beer is an abomination. I am vain. Compliment me and I will print up the post and put it on my fridge. 🙂 ---

Let’s see, slythe, how about this: slythe the mod is perfectly cool. He makes it clear he’s no one’s fool. Now endowed with god-like powers He tends his flock through lonely hours. Stern but gentle, wise and fair, Yet trolls and puppets must beware! Head and shoulders above the crowd, A mod to make the SD proud! (Damn, it’s easier to buy beer and chocolate!) ---

Coosa, that was beautiful! If it wasn’t so long, I would use it as my new signature. 🙂 🙂 🙂 ---

Glad you liked it, slythe - consider your vanity stroked! And don’t change your sig! It’s one of the best on the board!
