So, you're saying "dafter" is a more appropriate moniker in my case?

 

[Von Pookie]

It's getting there, yeah.

Oooh, idea. I *do* have the ability to set titles for users. They're oh so easy to change...

 

[Oorang]

hehe I want a title!

Hey look I finally posted a new pic.

 

[Greg Truby]

Well, Oorang, you see it's like this -- I've already got the unofficial title of Understudy of the Junior Grand Pooba. So we could make you Assistant to the Understudy of the Junior Grand Pooba. But then the accusations of favoritism are gonna fly. Some folks are going to cry and whine about getting "passed over based on seniority" even though they are much less qualified than yourself. So then the EEOC is gonna get involved and there'll be an investigation and Mr.Excel's name will get drug through the tabloids... And all 'cause you wanted a friggin' title. So, I'm sorry. Now, please pipe down and get back to work; there are approximately 13,824 unanswered posts as of 3:06 CDT.

Regards,

Greg

PS (nice pic!)

Do you think anyone would get upset if I were assigned the title Ye Olde Newbie?

 

[Oorang]

Yes but could anyone complain if I was given the title of "Dispenser of Questionable Spelling?"

Hmmm, we'll take it up at the next meeting of the "Committee for the Assignment of Questionable Honorifics" which takes place on the sixth Monday of every month. Although, Oorang, I must warn you that for quite a number of years, JIUK's had a hammerlock on the title you seek. However, of late his grammar and spelling have shown some alarming improvements and some of his recent prose is dangerously close to error-free. So you might just have a shot.

Curiously, having come to this topic second I have inadvertantly suggested Greg's title here.

As an aside (and I realise that I have pushed in on a new line of lounge chat), well done to Oorang and losing 50pounds. Last time I did that was on the horses. You deserve 2 Avatars with before and after shots.

gingerafro,
What can we expect on the Board from you ? A before or an after-shot-avatar or ?

 

[Greg Truby]

Ooohhh, Ginger, now you've gone and done it! Erik's like an old blood hound once he gets the scent. Might as well just dig up a digipic and make an avatar so he'll rest easy.

Erik, in case you're wondering, yes, that was a compliment. Means you stay "on task" and don't get easily sidetracked (despite my best efforts!)
