It's so random it has purpose.

Congratulations!

Seems like we have too many moderators. Who will moderate the moderators now? What was the criteria in choosing them?

For myself, it was my breasts. Thus the need for more of them.

Actually, this was part of an overall cleanup - clearing out old mods who aren't here anymore, and balancing things so it's not so man-heavy. Or is that boy-heavy?

Perhaps you wanted me to answer you totally seriously. I don't think I can do that just now.

And thanks for the congrats!

We have the same number of moderators that we did last week. The new ones replaced ones who rotated off the staff.

You moderate us when you question what we're doing. We moderate you when we refuse to answer your questions. Any questions?

Of course, by answering your question, I'm violating the nature of my own answer, which in turn nullifies my answer thus making it moot. That brings us to your question. If my answer nullifies itself simply by answering, then it should follow that your question nullifies itself simply by asking. That brings us to a situation that means your question cannot be answered by definition of the question itself. Therefore, asking your question automatically rejects the notion of the question rendering your question obsolete. Your question becomes void, making any answer from us unnecessary. Since your question no longer exists, I no longer have to answer it.

Clear?

Ah got it, thanks for the clarification folks. That makes sense to me now. I Don't mean to be surly or crabby, but I figured someone has to *scowls at everyone*.

So then,

Congratulations ladies!

You better do a good job! *shakes fist*

Ah, how very meta-transcendental.

By the way, I was never here nor do I exist.

Skadoosh....

Congrats!! I think you will all do a fantastic job.

Excellent choices - I'd forgotten that we were rotating moderators - but this seems a fine crop. Congratulations to everyone in their new found positions. Moderate away!

Oh and Jess, please tell Quadro to contact me so that we can start our First Spouses club. We can do charity stuff and whatnot.

abaya

Oh, I love my husband.

Thanks, all!

This was more or less an executive decision that went from announcement to decision in a matter of about 4 days, and was interrupted by the upgrade over the weekend.

JustJess, huh?

Bad idea...

Congrats, all!

(ktspktsp, does this club involve wife sharing?)

She's already redecorating everything back here in all girlie stuff. Our Star Wars curtains are already down and have been replaced with Strawberry Shortcake crap.

Strawberry Shortcake? Come on!!

That's an interesting idea Quadro. I shall file motion M497-A and we will take a secret raised hand vote on it.

The_Jazz

Perhaps we need to start a "Support Group for Husbands of Mods" thread. I can think of at least 4 members that probably need to do some venting off the top of my head.

And, um, isn't "Married to the Mob" about infedility or has it just been too many years since 1992 when I last saw it?

ktspktsp

I only remembered the title of the movie, so I don't recall what it was about .

Quadro, motion M566C: we should watch "Married to the mob" and produce an extensive report. Also, motion M566C.1: we must provide a sufficient amount of pop corn, salted, no butter.

Charlatan

Someone needs to give ktspktsp and quadro shiny new "ModSpouse" badges...

Congrats ladies. And husbands... this means you have to keep your noses extra clean... one more area for the ladies to get their own way, and if you don't comply, they simply make you comply. If that still doesn't work they can just go in and edit your stuff to say what they want you to say!!

So once again.... CONGRATS!!!


ps. the mod team just got a whole lot hotter!

genuinegirly

Should have picked me - I would have simply dusted off the star wars curtains and hung a few posters of concept art.

In all seriousness, though - CONGRATS, new mods! May the Force be with you.

I'll have you know that I did not get rid of the Star Wars curtains. I simply *added* kitty pictures to go with them. Hmph!

JustJess you didn't!! Adding kitty pictures to Star Wars curtains is the absolute worst blasphemy I have ever heard! It ranks right up there with stealing homeless peoples kidneys while they are sleeping...

shesus

They compliment Cyn's kitty pictures.

And I agree, I think the husbands are a lot more excited.
