:sigh:

It just wouldn’t be the same.

Besides, in seriousness, I’m not eager to pit you. I can recall being on opposite sides of many debates, but nothing sticks out in my memory of you being anything but a fair and worthy opponent.

Yuck. This is why I stay out of MPSIMS. It gets so lovey dovey in here that you get sticky with it. I need a shower.

Wait. I’ve got an idea…

\*\* **Debaser** takes his wagon full of explosives and weapons and heads off to the pit to make a pro-Bush post \*\*

For some reason the first image that popped into my mind when I read the OP was of a wise old man (that’s **Bricker** ), calmly giving advice from a raft on the high seas, while a shark’s fin with **LHoD** tattoed on it circles around him. I’m not a veteran or a heavyweight here, but I know smarties when I sees them, and the SDMB is chock full, and **Lefty** is in the first row.

That’s because “Left hand of Dickness” is reserved for you-know-who.

**Lefty** is a hypocritical, disgusting bunnylover. Plus, one time, at band camp, he farted and blamed it on another guy.

We’re like that in the wind section.

Congrat’s **LHoD**! **Bricker** , **Polycarp** and other great and respected minds. You can be proud and rightly so. High praise indeed.  
Nic  
Oh, and Merry Christmas or Happy Holidays or whichever applies.

[Moderator hat off]

To show you how much I think of LHoD-- when we were looking for new Mods here a few months ago, my first thought was of him.

How could anyone be that even tempered? I always thought that **bibliophage** , my hero, was the most even-tempered, well-spoken person on the boards. Of course, since I mainly stayed in GQ, that was a given.

But in fairness to the boards and to Daniel, I immediately rejected the thought of proposing him for becoming a moderator on the boards. Why?

Because the boards would lose a person that is everything **Bricker** says he is. He would become a functionary, and the boards would be the poorer.

So, Daniel, here’s to you and your spirit–the same kind of spirit which lives in **tomndebb** and **bibliophage** and a handful of posters on this board. Long may you(collectively) post.

I always thought he was the most dangerous poster as well. Not just because he’s good in a debate, but because he killed my Dad.
