Boy, they’re popping up everywhere. Congratulations Hal.
Welcome, Hal!
Has anyone ever been “the new guy” for a shorter period of time than engineer_comp_geek? Frank and FluidDruid became mods nine days apart, DrMatrix and Ukulele Ike were also nine days apart, Miller and Ellen Cherry were a mere two days, but this was less than 24 hours.
“Bancrook.” I like that.

By my math, Jonathan Chance holds the record now, at about 3 and a half hours. Hal has already been a mod that long, so Jonathan is safe until the next double appointment, at least.
And yes, I am bored. Why do you ask?
Brownie points for you, Digital. I was gonna do the math but I can’t see after reading every damn post in Great Debates today.
Send scotch.
Hell, send Southern Comfort.
My twin, Gfactor, actually holds the record, as I mentioned in Idle Thoughts’ thread. His appointment was announced at 4:06 PM on 6/20/07, followed by mine at 5:51 the same day, giving him 1 hour and 45 minutes as most junior mod.
Thanks, Hal! It’s a tough job but I’m sure you’re up for the challenge. 
Sheeyit. I hope we don’t run out of hot tar.
Hey, you noobs! Come on down!! 
A baa-nnable offense! 
I’m really glad I invested in covered wagons! Look at all these new mods that will be circling them!!!
What’s your policy on nonsense threads?
I know your type. You’re fresh out of the academy with all your fancy ideas about this job. You don’t know what it’s like out there on the streets. Have you even been to the worst parts of this city, kid? I’ve seen things that would’ve had you running right back to study hall, believe you me. Let’s head downtown- it’s time to find out what you’re made of.
The Barn House?
Welcome!
That’ll teach me to trust TubaDiva’s history comments.
And to not re-read the whole thread. 
Sadly, I was the next post after you said that, Colibri…so I can’t even claim I didn’t go back to the thread!
But the important part…and we can’t overlook this…is that you were brought in roughly together, to follow (or set) the pattern of multiple mods.
Lanolin the money,
Lanolin the money.
You’ve got a lot of what it takes to get a lamb!!!
Woold you please be shearious?
I’ve missed all three of the new moderator inaugurations, probably because I hardly ever go into ATMB anymore and missed the announcement threads. I wish you all the best of luck.
We’ve had quite a lot of new moderators here lately.
But he didn’t f*ck a duck. Shouldn’t it be that he’ll never live it wool?
Anyway, congratulations Hal!
I’m reminded of that old SNL commercial
“He’s a moderator!”
“He’s a sheep-fucker!”
“No, he’s a moderater!”
“No, he’s a sheep-fucker, you stupid cow!”
“Hey, wait you two! He’s a moderator AND a sheep-fucker!”
