Man o man, he’s such a FUCK! Did you see what he did to my thread? Who’s the pig felcher who made him a moderator?!? He thinks he’s sooooo smart, living in the big city and readin’ books or whatever he does for a living. Well, I’m here to tell you - WAKE THE FUCK UP! We’re not going to take this anymore!

(welcome to moderating, Ike! Congrats!)

Oh, and did you see the way he copied Euty’s thread title word for word when he started his welcome post? Come on IKE!! What about some creativity? You think that by adding the word “YEAH” to the front of the title we wouldn’t notice it. BAH! Moderator indeed. 😉

[Here’s](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=84312) the fuckin’ thread. What a low functioning, gorilla-shit eating drop on the urinal floor he is.

I’m not sure if he’s good at it or not, I guess we’ll have to find out. Line forms to the right.

And what a pussy forum to be in charge of, too. I mean, come on! Books! Music! Literature! Fine Arts of all types! What a goddamn pansy. I’ll bet he starts wearing ruffled drawers and refusing to drink anything but wine coolers.

He doesn’t like Billy Joel and thinks Bob Dylan has a great singing voice. He _likes_ the stinking Family Circus for fuck’s sake! This man they put in charge of the Arts and Lit forum?

He’s gonna make all the mods wear moderator vests, you just wait and see.

I was born in Pennsylvania  
I was raised in France  
I’m a dirty old man  
And I wear silk pants.

Tell me, how long  
Do I have to wait?  
Can I get you now,  
Or must I hesitate?

(Thank you, **andygirl.** I was waiting for **Corrado** or **Alphagene** to come and rescue me, but it looks like they’re going to let me dangle slowly, slowly in the wind.)

Sheesh. A guy accumulates a lifetime’s worth of knowledge about jazz, writing, publishing, Cajun cookin’, and automatically this Board assumes he must be cultured or somethin’.

As a part of his moderator hazing, I say we force him to cook dirty rice, shrimp gumbo, crawfish etouffee and bourbon banana bread pudding for a large group of critical, hungry Dopers. Don’t forget the Dixie beer, Ike.

Ah, so thats why you didn’t come drinking with us in Dublin then.  
YOU WERE NEVER THERE!!! It was an excuse for you to go to Chicago for the Great Mysterious Initiation Ceremony!! “Tired Wife and kids” my arse.

So, is the branding really as sore as its made out to be? Coldy has been walking funny ever since he was a mod!.  
Come to think of it, Thats 3 people who registered after me in July 1999 to become Mods… hmmm… 😉

Are you kidding? He’s so unhip that when you say “Dylan”, he thinks you mean Dylan Thomas, whoever he is.

Are the rest of the mods that old?

And one of the first threads on his lah-di-dah forum delves into the plot intricacies of “Buffy” vs “Charmed.”

Yeah, I’ll have my work cut out to stick with that bunch of culture vultures. Ain’t they posh, sitting on the settee with their scones. Pardon me mama, I’m off to play the grand pianer!

Hey **Ike** , up your nose with a rubber hose!

Hey **Uke** , I hadn’t even noticedyou’d become a mod. Congratulations. I can’t think of anything witty and/or mean to throw in, so I guess I’ll leave it at that.

Hey, I just noticed…with my recent transfiguration and beatification, the overall political stance of the mod staff just tipped deeply into the Red Zone!

Cool.
