And he likes well-done steak–which is why he’s perfect for the job! And I guess Bone’s good, too. (No, really. I think he can do a good job. He seems even-keeled, and fits with the new direction in GD.) ---

Narrator: How can he possibly resist the maddening urge to eradicate the SDMB at the mere push of a single button? The beautiful, shiny button? The jolly, candy-like button? Will he hold out, folks? Can he hold out? ---

NOOOOOOOooooooooooo… **Bone** and **Chronos** HATE me … they’ve been out to get me for YEARS now … just when I’ve got all the other moderators trained properly, why would you bring in folks who are hip to my shit … do you know how hard it is to twist honest, fair, just and reliable people into my own tools of destruction? Did we skip a few steps here … I sure as hell don’t remember giving my permission for this action … I demand a re-count … I demand a procedural review … I demand new elections … I demand ethical treatment … MAKE THIS NIGHTMARE END … ---

> [@silenus](#): > > I object! **Chronos** thinks beans belong in chili, and is therefore wholly disqualified from moderating _Café Society_. Sounds perfectly fine to me. It ain’t chili unless it has beans. That’s what I like about Burger King’s chili dogs. They use the real thing with beans. Beats the crap out of Der Wienerschnitzel. ---

> [@Czarcasm](#): > > If you push the big red button under the plastic case, balloons come down. Try it! WAIT! I thought someone _had_ to push the button every 108 minutes, or else the world ends! Or the squid eats the special goat. Or something, I’m not too clear on it but I’m sure it’s important… Anyway, congratulations to **Bone** and to **Chronos**! ---
