    Ah yes Mr. Engine, thank you for your offer. If could just answer the following questions:

    1. Do you have experience in a leadership position (manager in McDonalds doesn't count)?

    2. Do you often have maniacal thoughts of world domination?

    3. Do you often arrive home late at night, drunk out of your skull, go on to the boards and have the urge to call people names and then give out tons of karma, before puking up on your keyboard?

    4. Do you wear a tin-foil hat?

    5. Can you speak fluent |33t5p3@k?

    6. Have you taped up your windows to prevent sunlight from obscuring your monitor?

    7. Can your trouser legs be easily rolled up?

    8. Do you feel that somehow you are out of place and that somewhere there is a group of people that feel the same and that you can relate to and find some meaning in the world without the need for worldly goods?


    Thank you for your time, please send your application, along with your worldly goods to:

    Dianetics International,
    Abbey Street,
    Dublin 1.

    Agreed. Excellent comeback.

    Sorry though, the fact that you have a girlfriend implies you have a thing known as "real life" which automatically disqualifies you wink.gif

    Nevertheless as Hobbes sez (and he should know) only Admins can create Mods and as such the only thing I have the power to do is give you positive karma which I gladly do still lmao!

    [humour] Well Chaos-Engine is not chasing DeVore's job anyway. [end humour]

    Chaos-Engine: contribute some more to the boards and let the Admins see how (un)stable you are. It's taken me more than a year to make mod (todays my first day). The best way to help out for the moment, is, as DeVore says, have a high information (check) to noise ratio. Get recognised as someone who will be appreciated and he only way is up.

    Take a look at TheWolf on the Humour Board - he is here only a few months,

    I'd imagine it actually IS in Dublin 1, as it's just off O'Connell Street, on the Arnotts side (practically opposite Arnotts back entrance actually). I know this because I was stopped on the street there by a guy who got me to answer some basic questionnaire questions and then brought me into their office promising "enlightenment" and then offering me a free copy (which I could pay for later if I wanted to) of Mr. Hubbard's book on dianetics. Naturally I politely refused and got the hell out of there... smile.gif

    Nothing wrong with having an opinion worth expressing- better than coming up empty-handed or disparaging others (imho). Concealing an opinion selfishly is a bad thing WWman...not having a positive opinion is even worse- I try to avoid both when I can smile.gif As for Star Wars/LOTR being boring...it certainly is for some, I'm sure what you enjoy is boring for some as well. Each to his own, mutual respect in hand perhaps? Certainly nothing to sneer at someone for, holding an opinion, is it? If you feel a need to call me a know-it-all, then you can add to your "vaguely interesting hobbies"- pointed pontification...a profitable business in journalism these days...perhaps you'll pick up a buck for it one day tongue.gif
    <font face="Verdana, Arial" size="2"> maybe he can teach you how to spell freak correctly. oh, there is a spell check</font>

    Oh damn...a shame about that grammar check too, isn't it WWMan? You'd think boards.ie moderators would have the courtesy to capitalize the first letter of a sentence, surely? After all, an entire post strewn with a basic grammar error surely deserves more tut-tut'ing than a simple mis-spell of "freak"? smile.gif A sense of humor is worth acquiring WWman- it give us appreciation of all the funny moments in life. Sounds cliche- but then again, I am a bit of "know-it-all" for dishing out a bit of optional friendly advice, aren't I? tongue.gif
