A quiet little thread

[JennaGlatzer]

Sometimes the moderators are even more diabolical than I am.

On William's way out, he asked us to consider poetinahat to take over as the poetry mod.

We discussed it and overwhelmingly agreed. Some people pondered whether or not he'd accept if we asked him. One supermod said, "What's all this about asking him?" and a mod who shall remain nameless said:

"I say add him to the list, slap his name on the forum as mod, and see how long it takes for him to notice that he can see the squad room..."

I wrung my little hands together and did just that.

Hi, Rob.

We love you.

Considering your name's already on the door an' stuff... won't you please be our new poetry mod?

:e2flowers

[Angelinity]

sneaky guys, you are :D

well, the flowers might help...

[poetinahat]

Wow. It's really bright in here now!

Delighted, thank you. I accept.

[Unique]

Bwahahaha....

How's the collar? Did you get one with 'shiny jewels'?

You'll do great, Mr. Poetinahat.

[ddgryphon]

Wow. It's really bright in here now!

Delighted, thank you. I accept.

Smart Move -- on everyone's part.

[alleycat]

Well, there goes the poetry forum . . .

Just kidding. Congratulations, poet.

[JennaGlatzer]

Good thing he accepted. It's a real pain trying to scrape off those names once they're chiseled on there...

I've splurged and ordered a collar with Swarovski crystal for him.

[KTC]

Well Rob, what diabolical plans have you for the forum? This should be interesting. It could be no one else, bud. You shall reign supreme. Enjoy the all amazing, incredibly awesome cosmic power! (and the itty bitty living space). Oh wait, that's the Genie. Forget that part. Have fun and have fun keeping us in line! **insert evil grin here**

PS Should I call you Mr. Poet now?

[Robert Toy]

Please how common, It's His Royal Highness!

[Good Word]

I've splurged and ordered a collar with Swarovski crystal for him.

No fair!

I've been here a long time and mine's just made of sea glass and rubber!

I demand an upgrade.

(But I am absolutely and poetically pleased that Rob has accepted. Now I can harrass him in public more.)

[Patricia]

I like the new additon! :)

[ddgryphon]

I just want to clarify: We don't have to start calling him "Poet in a Crown" now do we?

Or is it "Poet in a Mitre?"

[Godfather]

Yes! mr. poetinahat. Good choice Jenna and the mods. Good choice indeed.

He'll be a great mod.

[Birol]

Welcome, Poet.

(Everyone should be gentle with him for the next couple of days. He'll be disoriented for a little while yet.)

[Cathy C]

He'll be disoriented for a little while yet.)

The special Mod Kool-aid has that effect on a lot of us. He'll get used to it... ;)

[Haggis]

Congrats, Poet.

You other mods are going to short-sheet him, aren't you?

[poetinahat]

So that's what it was! I thought it was a tranquilizer dart from "My Assistant Jim Fowler".

so why does my neck sting?

[Sarita]

Welcome Rob! Anyone who voluntarily leads this bunch of crazies is a Saint... Oh wait! Not voluntary, you say? Forced, you say?

Bwahahahahaha!!!

[NeuroFizz]

Rule wisely, Rob. Here's some tissue to stuff in the toes of the shoes you have to fill. You'll only need it for a short while, I'm sure--an intended compliment to both william and you. Congrats.

We are in good hands (a little Jurgens lotion and all).

[JAlpha]

Now there's some good news I can wrap my arms around!

:e2arms:

[Stew21]

oh this makes me so happy. I'm so glad I saw this today.

I needed this.

Keep greening night's black blades, buddy. As I know you will!

[wordsheff]

Awesome...we go from a skull on fire under a cowboy hat to a dude surfing toward us...

totally natural progression ';)

[robeiae]

Congrats, Rob.

But please, no "Be like Morrissey" contests, okay? :D

[DeniseK]

Cool! One of my very favorite people. ;) Big congrats, Rob.

[P.H.Delarran]

well leave it to Jenna to do something so obvious...and perfect!
welcome Rob.

[Pat~]

Welcome to our new Modinahat! :D Hooray! You'll do just great.

[awatkins]

Delighted, thank you. I accept.

How cute. Like he actually had a choice. :D

[drachin8]

Wow. That is positively diabolical. I love it!

Welcome to the throne, [poet|mod]inhat. We'll try not to spam you too much...for a few days.

:)

[rtilryarms]

Don't worry everyone. Poetiunchapeau didn't leave. New Mods become a little preoccupied when they first discover that they can view everyone in the naked mode.

Give him 'till the end of the week.

[kdnxdr]

We have a naked mode????

Can AW see me through my PC??

yikes!!!!!!!!!!!

[kdnxdr]

this is not a good thing


the naked mode thing........but, I'm happy that if anyone has to see me naked, it's PIH

[Susie]

That is super that Poet is the poetry mod. William made the forum great and Rob will too! Many congrats, Rob!

[jst5150]

And as one of his first acts, Rob is letting no-bid contracts to Mother Goose and Halliburton's "Nursery" division.

Rob, absolutely the right choice as a moderator for this board. You're brillaint, insightful and have an even hand when laying the smack down (err, critiquing) on people's work.

[trumancoyote]

Dude, you better hook me up with super-secret information about what those mod-****ers are saying about me in the mod-room.

And yay! :D

[MacAllister]

For chrissakes, Zach--like we're talking about you when we could be watching everyone in naked mode and playing with our shock collars.

jeez. As if.

[trumancoyote]

I mean, like... you could do both, right? At the same time?

[louisgodwin]

I just want to clarify: We don't have to start calling him "Poet in a Crown" now do we?

Or is it "Poet in a Mitre?"

"Poet in a Tiara" would do quite nicely. :D

Congrats, Rob. You deserve it.

[poetinahat]

For chrissakes, Zach--like we're talking about you when we could be watching everyone in naked mode and playing with our shock collars.

jeez. As if.
Wow. You really can tell the poets, can't you? *OW* Maaaac!

[SpookyWriter]

I hate conspiracies, but in the case I acquiesce; and rejoice in the wisdom of Jenna and her minions.

Good job Poet!
