I thought that OncleBière was supposed to be the new moderator, what’s going on here? 😕 Congratulations UncleBeer! I hope you put the P back in MPSIMS. It seems that we’ve been short on pointlessness lately. ---

Cool, Unclebeer can now bring down the hammer on us. At least we now know an easy way to bribe a moderator. It should be only a few days before we get those pictures of Cecil and Ed at the Christmas party to satisfy our curiosities. ---

Congratulations, Uncle Beer! So… ummm… do I get any sort of special treatment? I always knew kissing up would pay off in the end. ---

Well, I was going to try to do this up proper-like, and officially welcome UncleBeer as co-moderator of MPSIMS, but I see you guys beat me to it. Luckily UncleBeer needs no introduction, having impressed us all with his intelligence, humor, and willingness to jump on trolls like a ton of bricks. Y’all be nice to him now, hear? ---

Holy spittle, Batman. You people are completely confused. You’re all required to go buy **and read** at least one more Straight Dope book; that should help make things clear. I have no magic(k)al powers; I’m merely the lackey of The Great Eutychus, here to perform his dirty work. We can’t have him soiling himself now, can we? Thanks for the welcome, guys and gals; I appreciate it. Where’s the damn beer? [post edit test at 7:51pm - please ignore] ---

Frank T.J. Mackey? Okay… Anyways, congrats UncleBeer. May the mundanity flow like beer, and the trolls be as seldom as the cans of Bud Lite. ---

Hey … I was never told about this! What the f… I can’t help but feel like I’m being wedged out here. I mean firstly everyone else got a mug that said “Staff”; mine said “Stiff.” Then there was the suspiciously “misplaced” invitation to the annual SD Mod orgy where I understand Ed and Tuba demonstrated an inordinate fondless for lap dancing while Lynn showed slides of her yeast infection! Do I detect conspiracy? Seriously though, a hardy welcome aboard to Uncle Beer, my first offical lackey, although I assume he will be getting the hang of things pretty quickly and soon be hiring lackies of his own. Now … where’s that cat-o-nine-tails? We got an initiation to tend to. ---

Now I’m jealous… I want a title! Maybe not Moderator (definitely not Administrator), but can I at least be the Grand Zingy or something? I mean, “Member” is just so mundane and pointless and… oh… now I get it. ---
