Does pandering mean excessive use of exclamation marks? 😉

Glad you like it here, sheriffnathan!

Pandering = eats shoots and leaves.

Personally, I am more familiar with wombatting: eats roots and leaves.

As a sheriff, the OP probably has a nice shiny badger. So now I’m really confused.

I love it, too, but it makes me anxious. Which makes me mad because I thought I wasn’t scared of anything anymore.

Badgers? We ain’t got no badgers. We don’t need no badgers. I don’t have to show you any stinkin’ badgers!

No, I believe you would shoot the sheriff, the deputies, the entire board of elections, the rest of the government, then on to the entire global population…

So you’ve come out blazing to introduce treasures and monkees to the whole damn debacle.

Is this your method, **Rhythmdvl**?

This was a nice place to visit. Once. In 1967.

Sure, but just before going down, sheriff[nathan](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nathan_Hale) may quip “I regret that I have but one life to give for the SDMB!”

🙂

Anyway, it’s a little late, but welcome, sheriffnathan. I don’t know whether you’ve been lurking a long time, but wiseass remarks are something you’ll just have to get used to here. For some reason, ATMB gets more than its share.

You’re not the only one. There were too many threads in 1999 asking if there was a doctor in the house.

That you, Mongo?

(Look, any thread with a sheriff has to have at least one Blazing Saddles reference. And 99 and 44/100ths of the ones I thought of would have gotten ME banned. So we do what we can.)
