Congratulations, by the way.

[gratuitous sucking up]

Veb, you are the very essence of manhood. My loins are being tugged towards the monitor by your magnetism. (as opposed to the magical suction properties of your foreskin). I scream your name at night. You are love.

If you’re going to go for gratuitous sucking up, it’s best that you get the gender right. 😉

Oops. :o

Well, change that to womanhood and take out the foreskin bit (_snip_ _snip_ \<evil grin\>), and the rest still holds. 😉

[Gratuitous sucking-up]

**Veb** , your name is like a poem. I say it softly as sleep overtakes me. I should crawl the earth on hands and knees to reach your presence. Your female nature draws me irresistably towards you!

[/Gratuitous sucking-up]

Whew, hope _I_ got the gender right…

Congratulations, Vebbie.

Now that you’re the rookie on the team, we’ll let you know the tasks that will be assigned to you:

1. Polish DavidB’s shoes twice a day;
2. Bring Lynn her daily ration of Godiva. In the fridge, top shelve, to the left.
3. Turn and fungus-check Winkelried’s Emmenthaler collection on a daily basis.
4. UncleBeer needs a cold one. And a fine dame, he adds. Can you do that?

No way am I going over to IMHO to congratulate you. That slythe dude scares me 🙂

My colleague forgot Rule Nº1 for SDMB moderators:

Swiss jokes are not allowed. However, spanking insolent tulip-heads is. Bring those cheeks over here Coldie!

(And you all wonder what happens at the top-secret moderator summits. Consider this a sample.)

Yay Veb!

As with so many of the best folks here given the errr ahhh, magnanimous task of moderation of these hyar boards, I admire, concur, and sympathize with your appointment. Congrats, most sweetly, and yer little dog, too!
