Dear Mrs. Aspenglow, Recently I found hamsters floating in my coffee cup. Also, when came back, didn’t bring pie. Regards, Susan ---

Dammit. Now I have to get a warning in one of those forums. I consider it my mission in life to be admonished by every moderator, like a game of bingo. (And congrats, @Aspenglow ) ---

Nicely done. You are a champion. An innovator. Very possibly a masochist. Moderators are what have kept the Dope Straight since ‘98. Or something. ---

I’m probably wrong, but @Superdude sounds like one of those guys who have a desk sign saying “The floggings will continue until morale improves.” 😉 Flog. Neigggh. Flog. Neigh. Flog. Neigh. Flog. Flog. Or maybe not. ---

Well, I don’t have a desk, but otherwise, spot on. I’ve unofficially given myself the title of “SDMB Whipping Boy.” ---

You could probably do worse. None of the nicknames I wanted ever stuck, like when George Costanza tried to get himself the nickname “T-Bone”. ---
