So now we have the Mod Squad in the pits…Lynn is obviously the blonde, but which of you guys has the poofy afro?
Does this mean I should start sucking up now?
lola, the number of possible responses to that line are overwhelming. Then again, I’m going to see my GF tonight for the first time in a week, so my outlook is kind of colored in a certain direction regarding the word “sucking”.
Ahem.
BTW, Rhiannon- it was less a matter of “choice between Pyroto and the SDMB” than it was a choice of two out of SMBD, Pyroto, and staying employed.

He chose… poorly.

Just kidding, John, if you weren’t employed, you couldn’t afford internet access, and thus you couldn’t get the SDMB, so employment is important.
John Corrado: BBQ Ball Buster!
Such a nice ring to it. Somehow, I feel safer tonight.
Shit. Another person I have to be nice to.
Great!
Just one more person we have to suck up to.
John, you have a very nicely shaped head… how’s that?
Falcon, sweetie I’m heading home now. Keep the light on for me and make sure those party animals on Magenta don’t drink all the liquor.
John Corrado, yeah sure staying employed that was the reason. I just think you wanted to have a “social life” as well. Perhaps you better call Manny and make sure he’s juggling his responsibilities soundly. Moderator on SDMB, Magenta wizards on Pyroto, responsible job, and swinging cat, something has got to give.
Only administrators can do that.
Ummmmph. I’m not blonde…at least, not without some serious help from L’Oreal.
Lynn,
You would rather by the guy with the Afro or the other guy? Making you blonde, just needs a bottle…making you one of the others requires a bit more work…
I guess we’re supposed to congratulate people for being named mod, but personally, if I could do lawying and I got a job doing this, I’d feel pretty sorry for myself.
I guess money is meaningless if you have plenty of it. I’ll never know that firsthand, guaranted.
This is strictly a voluntary position. I doubt that John actually expects this to take the place of a real job. He’s also not a lawyer. But he is a staunch Republican, so he must be rich and heartless.
Mr. P-n-P, this isn’t a “job” for any of us. It’s all volunteer work. You’d not look so stupid if you’d not talk about what you know nothing.
You’re giving lessons on NOT looking stupid? LOL.
I knew it was volunteer. Duh. That’s why I said he didn’t care about money. Get it?
All I didn’t know was he wasn’t a lawyer. So what? Probably lots of people don’t know what he does.
I know you’re not a lawyer, though. You coun’t pass the test to be a mailman.
He’s gotta be a lot smarter than you, though, so my original estimation now becomes:

I guess we’re supposed to congratulate people for being named mod, but personally, if I was smart and I got a volunteer job doing this, I’d feel pretty sorry for myself.
I guess money is meaningless if you have enough of it. I’ll never know that firsthand, guaranteed.
First, in order to be a mod here, one must apply for the position. So therefore, John must have wanted the position, and got his wish, so we congratulate him. Everyone else seemed to get the general concept, aside from you, so I don’t see where you get off attacking UncleBeer’s intelligence.
Next, people volunteer to do things like this in their spare time. Money is not a factor. I doubt John would ask his boss to give him more time at work if he was turned down for the position. Most people actually like to do things they enjoy in their spare time. A good sized portion of these people actually do things for enjoyment that involve them taking on additional responsibilities.
Again, this is not a concept that anyone else had trouble with. Think of it as being similar to volunteering to be a Boy Scout troop leader or something of the sort. Many people seek out these jobs and do not feel sorry for themselves. I suppose you probably just spend your spare time wanking off in the corner, rather than doing something productive, though.
I must say, P&P, that your sad tale has touched my heart.
I’ve been here for fifteen months, waiting to meet the one who deserves to inherit my millions, my mansion, and my yacht, and you, my boy, (or girl, as the case may be) are the one I shall consider as my own son (or daughter).
Please post your name and address, and I’ll immediately mail you so much money that you’ll never have to work again in your life.
(water2j: I LOVE the “scoutmaster” analogy! Cantcha just see Alpha spitting his coffee all over the monitor when he reads that?)
That’s not true. UncleBeer is an accomplished marksman.
Bang.
OK, UncleBeer, if you’re such a good shot, how about we go for a small target, say Pit and Pendulum’s common sense. I bet you can’t hit that.
And Uke, I think it’s a good thing that Alpha uses the SDMB to fulfill his need for volunteerism. Can you imagine that guy as a Boy Scout leader?
