There was some sort of screw up on the registered member database. My password would no longer work. After some really patient help from the Webmaster, it was finally determined to be necessary for me to register under a new Username.
So …
I used to be Ranger Jeff, now I’m Ranger. Still the same person, no sock puppet here. That would be the easy way, but as those of you who know me might remember… it wouldn’t be…
How are you doing, Snarkie? Nice to see you again.
And Cristi, if they don’t make me work Saturday, looks like I can be there late Sat afternoon, Sat evening, and Sunday morning. I don’t wear rings, but I’ll wear my ranger hat complete with ranger star, ok? I’m looking forward to meeting you.
Oh, crap. I know a different Ranger on a different board. All my realities are crashing together. Are you an actual RL ranger too, Ranger? That’d be the capper.
All you need to start an asylum is an empty room and the right kind of people.
Some of you may not be aware of this, but Ranger Jeff is the proud owner of the Official Straight Dope Branding Iron, used on newbies who prove themselves worthy of the “reg” status.
Ranger! Warm up the brand! There are a lot of people on this MB who are worthy, but have not yet been marked. The line starts to the left…

Wow! Me 'n Jeff both got whooshed! In the same thread! Kick butt!
Nemo, you have the honor of being the first to whoosh me. Congratulations to you, and a big ol’ “D’oh!” from me!
Shadowfox: I don’t know about you, but the thought of UncleBeer & RangerJeff in the same room at the same time is giving me the vapors. Quick! Help me think of a reason to leave my husband at home!

Cristi, your babysitter could suddenly come down with swine flu or cholera, which means your hubby would have to stay home and watch the children. Either that or we ditch him at a rest stop on the way there!

Shadow, the cholera idea is a great one, except that it’s my mom that’s babysitting the kids. There’s no way I could get her to fake cholera. She loves me, but she does have her limits.
So, it looks like we leave him at a rest stop.

Well, not that I’ve ever done this, but I’ve heard that if you stop in a bar with him and when he’s not looking slip the bartender a 20 and say “Has my friend, Micheal Finn, been here?” your problem might be taken care of.
