I was just thinking (gee, haven’t done that in a while) of an interesting thread, and I finally came up something decent. Why not have a SDMB King and Queen? They do it at homecoming games, so I suppose that it would work here. So, nominate someone (or yourself if you’re really desperate) and all of the Teeming Millions can come together and choose the winners. ---

Just make it the SDMB Royalty. There is already a **Jester** on the boards. And a **Duke** , too. And a Weird **Earl**. ---

I get tired of seeing the same oldbies get named for everything, so I nominate **xanadu** Hmm…since the only hints to gender are these profile items… Location:Lafayette Occupation:professional student Interests:sleeping, music …I’ll take a stab at (No. Can’t do it.) How about a nomination **for Regent**? ---

“I see… _pastels_!” - The Regent, Centauri Prime, “Babylon 5” Sorry, couldn’t resist. He was my favorite character on the series. Esprix ---

You’re so damn cute! I’m a chick, actually, in case you were wondering. But I should probably exclude myself from this thread, 'cause it would be a little hypocritical if I actually won. (As if that would happen!) ---
