What? You say they haven’t _done_ anything evil as mods yet? A triviality, I say! 😃

No, seriously, congrats to you both. I’m sure you guys will do a fine job in GQ.

I don’t think we need to know what sort of sick things you and **DrMatrix** do in the privacy of your own home ;).

I am 1/2 evil scumsucker on my maternal grandmother’s side and I resent the implication that being one makes me a fascist.

Evil scumsuckers are people too.

**bibliophage** : What is the third word in the English language, other than hungry and angry, which ends in “gry”? Also, why isn’t “gullible” in the dictionary?

**DrMatrix** : Three guys go to a cheap motel, and pay nine dollars each and get change and I forget part of it but they somehow have an extra dollar from the $30 and you need to tell us where the extra dollar went.

I gots lots more where these came from…

That’s easy. It’s the cost for laundering the sheets for any guests who only stay a couple of hours rather than overnight. Any you _know_ that they didn’t bring any luggage.

I’ve been in their home and am willing to spill details for large amounts of cash, in small bills.

Nope, won’t do it until they’ve fucked with me. However, I don’t care if they’re grumpy ol’ **UncleBeer** or “Everybody Loves Euty” **Eutychus55** , I’ll push right back.

Except for **Gaudere**. She scares me.

Sorry to dissapoint, but the word from above is that we already have an overabundance of Fascists, Nazis, and Communists among the moderators. That’s unfortunate because those are the only really _sexy_ repressive regimes there are.

When I stuck my hand into the hat and pulled out the slip of paper, I got **Book-burning Khmer Rouge henchman**. It doesn’t exactly roll off the tongue, but I really feel sorry for **DrMatrix**. He had second pick and got **Egg-sucking goose-stepping Falangist sycophant**. (Please don’t confuse that with an egg-stepping, goose-sucking Falangist sycophant.)

</div>

Can I say that the thought of a moderator with an uncapitalized name drives me into a chomping frenzy? Is it too much to ask for proper names to be capitalized? The sneaky way I get around this is to put the offending party’s “name” at the beginning of the sentence, thus giving me a perfect excuse to capitalize it without actually chaning their name unilaterally.

Seriously, how about getting Tuba to capitalize the ol’ name there, eh?

Oh, and this complaint never came up in the decades since **manhattan** became a moderator?

Yeah, and while you’re at it put a space in **Dr Matrix’s** name. Run-on names just _infuriate_ me.

At least I found this thread soon after the promotion. It’s kinda embarrassing to see the word “moderator” under someone’s name and wonder “Gee, how long have I not noticed that?” Speaking of which, Alphagene is a Pit moderator now?

Are you sure it’s not “Khmer Rogue”? I think that’s one of those rogue nations Bush keeps talking about.

So what was that again? Egg stepping goose sycophant Falangist sucker?

I saw **Dr Matrix** and **bibliophage** layin’ pennies on the railroad tracks so’s the train would run over 'em and come off the tracks and all the people get kilt and I tol them thye shuldnt and they jes laguh at me.

An they was the ones who who pinched my cousin Sue-ann so’s she got blood blisters, and they ran off but I knew it was them, cos I can idetnify their laguhter.

I cud tell you more but I got real interested in To Kill A Mockinbird since I read that ol thread about it, and I’m going back to lay under the scuppernon and read some more.

But I jus thouhgt you’d want to know those two ain’t no good and won’t ever be no good

DrMatrix transformed all my charmed quarks into strange quarks with some kind of zero-point energy harnessator, thus discombobulating my Heisenberg compensators. He’s a big meanie. In fact, I’m going to run away to Canada with my new wife so he can’t find me. :b…
