Giraffe is our newest worker in the Straight Dope vineyard.
Please be gentle and welcome him.
your humble TubaDiva
You’re starting a new person immediately in the Pit???
Man, that’s just mean.
I wonder how long it’ll be until he gets pitted.
Good luck! Modding the pit, you’re going to need it. 
Somehow I suspect this somehow the fault of George Bush and the Republicans.
When does he get issued his jack boots?
Well, at least he’s got the tongue for it.
Welcome to it, Giraffe. Don’t let the bastards grind you down. Not me, all them others.
Giraffe’ll get pitted as soon as he sticks his neck out.

Hail to our new **Giraffe ** overlord!
Oh crap. That asshole has been out to get me since day one.
Er, what I mean is All Hail Prehensile Tongue Man. Yeah, that’s it.
Awesome! Congradulations!
Fuck you, Giraffe!!!
Well, this is a Pit welcome, after all!
And the bullshit partisanship begins…
Welcome, Giraffe. Please let me know if I can get you some acacia leaves or strawberries or anything else to make your stay more comfortable. Moderation of The Pit is best not done on an empty stomach, or so I am told.
Is my memory failing me, or is our dear esteemed moderator Giraffe the man who took suggestions on what to eat out of his toilet?
If so, hot damn, we’ve got a good one this time. 
Let’s see, where’s that Ban User button again? 
Thanks for the welcome everyone! I want you all to know that I’ll try my hardest to be fair and nice to everyone, unless you disagree with me or get on my nerves in any way. Or look funny. Or have too many vowels in your username.
Yeah, you’re all hosed. [sub]There’s not much a screening process to be a moderator, obviously.[/sub]
Congratulations on the new gig.
-Hmlt
Let’s hope that neck can support that swelling head.
This calls for a celebration! PB&J sandwiches all around!
anyone? anyone?
Just remember that we African Animals stick together.
