I disapprove on general principle. You’re letting these… wastrels and persons of ill repute in? Pish tosh. ---

I’ll have a cup of French Roast with LOTS of whipped cream, please. BTW, congrats Uke Ike on becoming a mod. [celestina takes a sip of her coffee, sets her mug down, and rubs her hands in anticipation] Now to the business at hand . . . * * * vix said: “If you’re gonna like a cheesy comic, you might as well go with “For Better or For Worse”.” * * * Hey! I LIKE “For Better Or Worse.” I think it’s a really cute cartoon. I think I really got hooked when Farley died. I still get teared up thinking about what that sweet doggie did. * * * Scylla said: “If I thought I was being watched by dead ancestors, I’d never be able to have sex.” * * * Oh, come now, Scylla. If you think about it, why should dead ancestors really care if you’re having sex or not. They’re dead, and they have lives of their own doing whatever it is that dead people do. If I ever caught a dead ancestor watching me get it on, I’d just giggle and ask them if they’re enjoying the show. 😃 ---

Caffè macchiato caldo for me please. No doubt the libertarians will be in in a tick to insist on _Cafè Local-Agglomeration-of-Individuals_ as forum title. Congratulations Uke. I’d always assumed you didn’t want the job. Pleased to be wrong. Presumably with “moderator shoes on” you will be affecting a brogue when posting. ---

Bravo, Ike for becoming a moderator. I LOVED your work for Disney. I even have an old LP somewhere of you singing “It’s only a paper moon” on an old radio show. (Yes, I know exactly who you are!) ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Ukulele Ike \* > I like “The Family Circus.” Do YOU like “The Family Circus” ? Absolutely. I couldn’t believe how many people don’t over in IMHO . . . hopefully this place is a bit more _cultured_. ---

[hijack] One time, my fried cut out a family circus, and came over to my house to show it to me. He lifted up the piece of paper and said “why is this funny?” Unfortunately, he’d shown me the back of the piece of paper, which was a death notice/memorial with a picture of the deceased. I laughed because he’d screwed up, but I also wondered about how much of a coincidence it was that family circus came with a death notice on the back of it… [/hijack] Anyways, Family Circus isn’t funny. I do like For Better Or For Worse though. ---

I wonder what design the [moderators underoo’s](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=84249) in this forum have, artsy sketches of Beethoven all over, Picasso studies on each panel or the Mona Lisa smirk on the rear? Great idea for a forum Tuba and Congrats Ike.
