For the most part you can call yourselves pretty much whatever you want around here (though I am resisting a continued campaign from a poster who has wished to dub himself “God” and when that didn’t fly, “The Pope.”) . . . however, ain’t nothing official around here unless we make it so. your humble TubaDiva Administrator who is also resisting the urge to page all those “official” posters and slap them around. ---

Ahem. We are not “Official Doper” Brats. We are Official ‘Doper Brats’ - a ‘Doper Brat’ being the individual unit of the group. The official status applying only to the Doper Brat Group, and not implying any sort of endorsement by the SDMB at large. No reason to hurt us, TubaDiva! 🙂 ---

Considering I’m “#2”, I have a feeling I wouldn’t be pleased. :dubious: Either the chest piece or one of the feet, probably, if there are only a few of you. You do claim larger numbers, but maybe you’re a robot with multiple sizes, capable of fighting in different modes. You’d be rather collectible. ---

**nocturnal\_tick** here. I guess the links pretty much explained my position. I started it simply as a means of identifying one self in the huge greatness that is the SDMB and now I get to do The Shimmy Dance of Happiness[sup]TM[/sup] because it appears the Brat Pack is the stuff of occasional intrigue. :: SHIMMY SHIMMY SHIMMY SHIMMY SHIMMY :: _Okay…I’m done for now. Good work there team. I don’t have a clue what you did, but you did it well. 🆒 But can someone explain to me why I didn’t hear about this until now? **Rufus** I am in need of a scapegoat. :eek: 😃_ The “Official” title is merely representative of my own choice of members within the Pack and has no bearing whatsoever in the endorsements of the SDMB in it’s fabulousness, as **CandidGamera** pointed out. I would also like to point out: > [@C K Dexter Haven](#): > > Discussions of bratwurst are normally in Cafe Society, so I’m moving this to… huh? what? [sub]oh, sorry[/sub] …and… > [@TubaDiva](#): > > For the most part you can call yourselves pretty much whatever you want around here (though I am resisting a continued campaign from a poster who has wished to dub himself “God” and when that didn’t fly, “The Pope.”) . . . however, ain’t nothing official around here unless we make it so. Two **admins** in a brat thread! With no warnings or badness or anything! And even a joke! Yeah baby! And BTW **TubaDiva** I completely understand that only someone as intellectually stimulating, witty and just down right smooth as yourself could bestow upon us, the eager young **Brats** that we are, an Official Title. And what better way to demonstrate our compassion for our fellows than with some of the yummy goodness that is yummy, yummy chocolate? Hmm? 😉 You have to admit, we aren’t the worst thing to happen to this message board? [The Fonz] Eyyyeeeeeee… [/The Fonz] > [@Cluricaun](#): > > Ok. Are we gonna transform into something like Voltron? Because that would be way cool. 😃 **Brats** do not transform…We assemble in some form resembling the Justice League. Of course that means firing up the ol’ **B** _r_ **at Signal**. I think that’s covered everything. For the **brats** …keep it real. For the **Mods** and **Admins** …doesn’t this look so much cooler?: **nocturnal\_tick** [sup]Brat Pack Member[/sup] And for all you dopers out there in the big, wide message board… I hope that you will be seeing us around for a long time to come. ---

> [@AngelicGemma](#): > > Chocolate, and money. Don’t forget the money. 🙂 No, no, no, no, no. You see money entails some kind of bribery and bribery is wrong. Chocolate is so wonderfully wholesome, innocent and scrumptious that it personifies the exact opposite of bribery. Chocolate is anti-bribery. 😃 However, chocolate money is an entirely different situation altogether… 😉 [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/offical-doper-brat/270250.md?page=1)
