TVeblen is a gal? Who knew?
Woo Hoo! New meat! Oh yeah baby, you’re ours now, heh, heh, heh…wait a minute, did I just type that or did I think it?
D’oh!
Congratulations and welcome aboard!
I was under the impression he was a neo-Confederate.
Congratulations! I think! Great choice.

Yee-haw! The South’s gonna rise agin’! Hang on to your Confederate dollars! :takes a swig of bourbon; fires off a few shotgun blasts in the general direction of the ceiling: The War of Northern Aggression had nothing to do with slavery! The South seceded over tariffs! Abraham Lincoln was worse than Hitler!
I shot the tariff.

But I did not do the deputy.
It’s so cute when all you mods play nice together like this. But please be careful, because one of you usually ends up crying…
Welcome to the nuthouse, MEBuckner. Don’t mind Arnold. He’s Swiss. All that neutrality isn’t good for a man, obviously.
Pfft!! Younger and younger. They must be getting desperate. Good luck out there, sonny. They’re gonna eat you alive…
Oh, Buckner’s been with us since our AOL days, way back when. He just didn’t register here til 2000. I’m glad to have him as a mod.
…and according to my music history texts, Bruckner’s been DEAD since 1896. I’m QUITE excited to have him back!
[sub]and more impressed than ever with the Administrators
Welcome to the club. Of course you understand that the new guy has to wash my truck. Saturday afternoon at 2 will be just fine. Bring your own wax. Uke always forgot the wax.
Will earwax do?
Is expressing jealousy appropriate here? 
Congrats, ME.
That neutrality is very good for me, thank you very much. And the butt-slapping is just my natural high spirits. Heck, up in the mountains, with only the cows for company during those long winter months, we engage in quite a bit of bovine butt-slapping. It relieves the tension.
John Corrado, I was raised to elegantly kiss a woman’s hand, not slap her on the butt. We must have gone to different schools.
And I have painful memories of 1986 unearthed from the deepest recesses of my mind, where they had been banished. The pain, the disappointment. 
But this Buckner’s all right in my book.
Congrats!
[sub]And did I miss something? I thought Ike was a mod before bibliophage? Gotta pay more attention…damn school, keeping me away from the boards…
Seriously, though, there always seems to be someone new, and I always miss it. And it took someone mentioning an old thread with Chronos as a mod to proove to me that I wasn’t insane and I hadn’t imagined the whole thing.[/sub]
Mucho congrats MEBuckner! Of course, there’s always a downside…
Now I gotta let you win all the debates even when you don’t score a single point…
[sub]<<walks away slowly shaking head>>[/sub]
Man, life just ain’t fair.
Like, groovy, Dude. Better you than me.
See, some of us pay attention to that stuff while you boys are out slapping each other’s asses.
Congrats, you hick.
