Yeah, anyone want to start a pool on how long it will be before **Marley ** gets his very first mod related pitting? :stuck_out_tongue:

22

We needs a few rules, the pit thread cannot be started by a participant in the pool and it needs to be a real pitting and not a joke.

That said, I predict some yahoo will pit him by March 27, 2008 :wink:

Thank you very much, everybody. I admit I’m still a bit sore from being initiated and it’ll be quite a while before I can look a goat in the eye - and to make matters worse, I had a great First-as-Mod post prepared, and then Barack Obama stole it and delivered it in Philadelphia yesterday!

So instead, even if this is in more of a Cafe vein, I’d like to just say a few brief words about my vision for MPSIMS:

…But there’s lots of time to get into the particulars as I learn the ropes. In general, I’d like everybody to know this:

24

Not to go all Price is Right on you, but I’ll take the 26th of March then. :smiley:

25

Congratulations and good luck!

So, Marley23, does RTFirefly know you’re cribbing his material?

27

I’m pretty sure we’re cribbing from the same source. :stuck_out_tongue:

28

This comes as no surprise, an excellent choice indeed. Good luck, buddy.

Weren’t you once an accountant for Eb. Scrooge?

Congrats, Marley23.

I’m picking April 13 for the pitting pool.

31

Congrats, Marley23!

I mumbled something once about being a mod. On quiet nights, you can still hear the laughter.

Grats, Marley!

33

Do the new mods get awarded handicap points in the mod-pitting race? How will new mods ever catch up with the ancient ones?

How are those new moderator underoos fitting? :smiley:

(Congrats!)

I did not know you were a Marxist!

Not a bad place to moderate from, though thanks be you didn’t choose "I don’t care to belong to a club that accepts people like me as members. "

35

Dyed in the wool. I don’t use a sig anymore, but when I did, it was the old French quip “Je suis Marxiste, tendance Groucho.”

Yes, Marxists. That’s the class of people you’re hiring around here these days… and I could go right into a bit from Animal Crackers here- but it’s my first day and I went right up to the copyright line in my first post.

Speaking of originality: I think I’ve gotten more Jacob Marley quips in this thread than I’d heard in my life to this point. Not one of you went the obvious Bob Marley route, even though that’s actually where my name comes from.

36

Welcome, Marley23.

37

we figured you were busy entertaining the prince of wales and his wife. or was that last week?

38

Damn, I salute you-I can’t imagine anyone wanting the job right now. Good luck.

:slight_smile:

Hey Modboy! Before you get all big-headed thinking you bad and shit? Your fly is open.

Hurray! I am no longer the most junior Moderator!

Marley23, I’ll show you where the shovels and brooms are for mucking out the hamster cages.
