Yay UncleBeer! And since I flirted with you before you became the great and powerful moderator that you are now, no one can ever accuse me of sucking up just because you’re wearing that spiffy new hat. Congratulations, big boy! 😉

I knew him when he was a little man, just one of us Teeming Millions. How in Gods green hell he managed to get this position, I do not know. For all I care, this untalented dork should have been banned long ago.

Remember that Guy Stuff thing? Trolling means “posting something with the only intend to aggrevate other posters and trigger profane reactions”. READ the OP. Need I say more?

And don’t even get me started on all those lame so-called sarcastic remarks this cretin feels like posting in every damn thread. Look, if humour was REALLY your thing, you wouldn’t be an engineer.

… OK, I tried. This is as far as it goes. Dammit, Unc, you rock. I couldn’t think of a more mundane and pointless moderator for this forum! Between you and me, I’ve always found that Euty to be much too smart and constructive in his postings 😉

_raises pint of Murphy’s Irish Stout_

Here’s lookin’ atcha, Unc! I’m sure you’ll do fine. We promise to be good.

Right?

Guys?

Coldfire, it’s obvious you Dutchies are just dense. In order for me to flex my moderator muscles, you have to misbehave. So, behaving yourselves results in me having no powers to wield over you. Get it now?

Thanks for the vote of confidence.

Shyaaaaah, NOW he starts calling me names. NOW he’s got the guts. Did he even THINK about calling people names BEFORE he got that almighty and tempting **Big Ass “BAN THIS IDJIT” Button**? Nooooooooo… but NOW we’re supposed to think he’s da man. Sheesh 😉

Congrats, UncleBeer! Remember me? I’m the one who flirted outrageously with you in the Guy Stuff II thread. More than once. Does that mean I’m in your good graces yet? 😉

No? What do you mean, no? What do I have to do _now_? :eek:

Seriously, though. Great to have you watching us, I mean watching _over_ us! 😛

Everybody rushes to the congratulations… I say, my condolences, UncleB, and my heart-felt sympathies.

If you give Eutychus the pink and yellow copies of the forms, he’ll give you the plate armour whereby to withstand the slings and arrows of outrageous posters. And the mighty shield of virtue and the sword of truth (Or is it the sword of virtue, and the shield of truth?) for use in the fight against ignorance… er, wait, I forgot which forum you’re in… ah, in the fight against things that aren’t mundane or pointless.

I was all set to put in a custom title, but then I realized…everyone would want one. And I really don’t WANT to spend that much time on something like this. I have to go in and change the title BY HAND. Now, if you made it worth my while, I could do it. (Godiva chocolate, hint hint hint. Or just money, I’ll buy my own chocolate.)

Congrats!  
Damn I go away for a day and look what happens!  
I hope this doesn’t mean that we can’t steal anymore beer trucks and shower in space together anymore.  
Hey, wait a minute?! Did you end up with the mystical Moose schlong then? It seemed to be the source of almighty power and now this?  
Sorry, did I let the cat out of the bag? Whatever happened to that thing anyway?
