Mods ??

Thomas, I wouldn't take any baked treats from people on this board, it might be an attempt to assassinate you and preform a coup to gain power.

Well, that done it. You just triggered my automated responsive awareness system.

In accordence with civil law: the civilian rules and regulations by which the military authority is superseded in time of war or during public emergencies; established and enforced by the officer in charge in accordance with civil law and the usages of war. - ADVISOR's Unabridged Dictionary

Following the procedures for pre-emptive readiness, my authority as of now supersedes according to protocall (see the revised "Approved" Joint Operations CounterTerror Manual), acting under and with full authority of the Direct Action Codes & OPSEC.

I now stand ready to defeat perceived threats.

That's not a bad idea. If getting the Three Amigo's sloshed doesn't work, I could just start baking to open up a few vacancies. I'm not implying that I would poison anyone with baked goods, I'm just saying that somebody might try my baked goods without asking around about my skill as a cook (or lack thereof).

Well, I've been quiet for long enough here.

I awfully partial to homemade coconut cream pie, or a nice big bowl of homemade banana pudding--the kind with vanilla wafers on the bottom
Upon payment of these goodies, I can put a good word in

It won't do any good, but I'd be willing to share the goodies

The three of us are taking notes about WHO is saying WHAT.

Be careful where you guys set your glasses down...if you place them on your notes, the condensation could make the ink run.

Use coasters...

We use the super top secret eben invisible ink that only when shows when sneezed on by a Zeta Humaneyesnake!

The mods are truly wonderful people, and the bestest people on the whole board except for Springer, and Simon and Skeptic. They're the true bestest people around, and they're all doing a wonderful job.

(Sorry but my brown nosing skills aren't at their best after only three hours of sleep.)

I don't know about that man, I'd give you an 8.9.

Mods ??

Are the mods elected, selected for election or just selected?

Sorry if it's in FAQ's but I couldn't find it!

One minute you're downin' some beers, in a rowboat, at your favorite fishin' hole....the next you see bright lights, strange beings....and some weird "moderator" tag on your profile... Or at least, that's what happened to me... Pretty much the norm, right?

*holds up a 7 for Zaphod..."you didn't play up the intelligence factor, etc. enough....but good luck next week, and don't forget viewer votes count!"*

I dunno, Zaph...I give you a 6.5 cuz it sounded just a bit 'snibbly'.

A master brown- noser would make the bosses always think it was thier idea.

Also you forgot to include a bottle of Makers Mark and a Dutch Apple pie, heated just right with a dollop of French Vanilla ice cream.

*hands Springer a Mont Blanc pen with invisible potato ink in it and says "keep it for the notes"*

Hey, after three hours of sleep even a 6.5 sounds good. I'm a much better brown noser when I've had more sleep.

Well, there'll be no more brown nosing from me if it's gonna be on the record. I prefer to bribe and brown nose in the shadows, then act like I'm completely shocked when the powers that be take my side.

I would however like my threat to bake stricken from the record. If somebody gets caught with "special" brownies, I don't want them pointing to my jokes and blaming me.

However, since the three amigos are listening, I would like to raise an idea that I've mentioned before.

I would like to propose a contest- 1,000,000,000 posthumous ATS points for the first member assassinated in connection to some kind of political conspiracy. I think I could win that one if the political career I'm looking forward to goes as I plan it.

Granted that Fred T will probably just up his ATSNN contribution again and surpass 1 billion if I won such a contest, but at least for a brief time I'd have some consolation for having been murdered.

Huh?

Please check in with me concerning your whereabouts at all times. I'd like to ensure I'm not in those locations.

Gaz, that is prettty much how it happened to me, too, except when I awoke, I found a jar of vasaline and a rtube of Preperation -H on my computer desk.
At that time, I knew I was chosen to be admin one day.

It only hurts for a while, and after a few weeks you no longer feel the need to crumple to a corner of the shower while scrubbing yourself raw.

Resistance is futile; assimilate...assimilate...assimilate...

I've made some serious mistakes in my life with those two items being within my reach at the same time.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not exactly trying to get shot. I just believe in things that will get me shot if I go too far in politics. I'm under no illusion that I can expect to succeed in any of my major political goals, and under no illusion that I'll live long enough to enjoy it if I prove slick and slimey enough to actually pull it off in spite of the parties' power structures.

I make a habbit of saying this as often as I can, because suspicious deaths in congress don't usually get noticed (Paul Wellstone told me that). I figure the only way to immortalize myself is to have a Lincolnesque prediction of my own demise.
