Three cheers for UncleBeer!

The hero of the SDMB nation  
we owe him no respect or adulation

He does a thankless job for free  
but it’s not helping me!

He deserves no latitude  
or a smattering of gratitude

He’s the one we love to hate.  
and heartily denigrate

Moderating a teeming crew of cranks  
full of bitchy spanks

From moaning drama queens  
venting angry, turgid spleens

He dis-respected my thread  
and slapped _me_ on the head!

I wish I could be a mod  
for I would be a perfect God

And never bark and harshly reprimand  
or bite a poster’s tender hand

Unlike that bad old UncleBeer  
in meanness he truly has no peer

So fie on human mods I say  
no one is worthy to judge me anyway

If **UncleBeer**  
Suddenly turned into a rooster, we would call him Chanticleer.  
But as he coudn’t  
I guess we probably shouldn’t.

Poetry is better when you pick one meter and stick with it.

We like anything with beer in it.

And he has lots of beer in him.

So we like him.

Beer is good. UncleBeer must be good too.

I may have a different opinion when I wake up,

“For I have been to Ludlow fair  
And left my necktie God knows where  
And carried halfway home, or near,  
Pints and quarts of UncleBeer.  
Then down in lovely muck I’ve lain,  
Happy til I woke again,  
And saw the morning sun.”

Sorry, Mr. Houseman, but I’m a fellow whom it hurts to think and have taken your advice.

Beery bonhomie aside (Wow, I am a pretentious drunk) of all the people who I’ve been pissed off at (that reminds me, need to cut this post short or come back to it) since I started lurking at the SDMB, UncleBeer’s not one of 'em.

I fuckin’ love you man, you know? Remember that time when I posted something, and you posted something in reply? That was fuckin’ REAL, y’know? There was… posting… and it was… I don’t know… just… REAL, y’know?

I gotta go. I’ll be right back.
