Hell, everyone else is doing it; I might as well jump on the bandwagon.

**Coldfire** - yeah, he’s just so Dutch and everything. Wait a minute - _I’m_ part Dutch! (and English and Irish and German and yes, even some French Canadian). And I love clogs! I’m wearing some right now! Well, that won’t work.

**UncleBeer** - hmmmm. My personal opinion of Unc is that he’s a woolie baa lamb in fur booties. He always replies to any thread I start, even if no one else does - and he has even weirder relatives than I do! Naw, I can’t say anything bad about Unc.

**TubaDiva**! Yeah! She’s just so…well, helpful. Changing names for people, explaining what’s happening on the boards, addressing any glitch that turns up. Um, this doesn’t seem to be going very well.

I give up. And for those of you who want to endlessly complain about ill-treatment at the hands of the mods - GIVE IT A FUCKING REST!

Thank you, mods - **all** of you. You old goatfelchers.

That **manhattan** guy just chafes my willy. I mean, his name is a proper noun, but it isn’t capitalized, and he moves threads to the appropriate forum, and gosh, he upholds the rules! The horror!

And how about that airline foo–, uh, I mean, How about that **TVeblen**? Well-spoken, funny as hell, and she has a vocabulary on her, too. Makes ME feel like a tongue-tied bumpkin. Who needs that?

Yeah! And what about that **David B**? Always teasing everyone with that last initial…it’s like he’s “too good” to have his WHOLE last name in his posts. And, not only is he an atheist, he’s so logical about it. I mean, I’ve seen him attack innocent fundimentalists who think evolution is a lie with logic and wit. I mean, how dare he?!

And that **Euty**! With his insanely high post count, always padding it just to see it go higher! And always so mean, rude and hateful to everyone! Always brutally rebuffing those who dare flirt with him!

the mods won brighton!! and then drove their scooters off the cliffs in an breathtaking, if not foolhardy, display of disillusionment with the system and their culture.

No, wait, that was just Quadrophenia.

hey Coldy, got any bluies? 😉

It’s obvious that you are just sucking up. You can’t think for yourself and you are scared to really speak your mind. Fucking sheep. You need to become a loose cannon (tm Alphagene). That’s where the excitement is.

You left out the worst one: **Arnold Winkelried**.  
How many times has he explained about the Swiss name he picked? Twice at least, that I know of. Talk about self-absorbed!

**Arnold Winkelried** is Swiss?

No, no…{chuckle}…you’re mixing him up with **Coldfire.**

The one to ‘suck up’ to is "Vinny’ you fools.

Got to know where the power is.

The most powerful force in the universe is gossip.
