But, but, I didn't get a chance to say "thank you" to OKNancy.

[Redstone]

So I'll do it now. A year as a mod has gotta be a WHOLE bunch of work. And, as they say, someone's gotta do it.

You're a far, far better DUer than I, OKN. And that goes for the rest of you, too, and if you know me at all, you'll know I'm being honest and not sucking up here...

Redstone

[salin]

1. I add to yours, another thanks to OKNancy

and to all who have served as mods - especially those doing multiple gigs. A deep bow of appreciation. Cheers to you!

[Midlodemocrat]

2. Let's continue that god awful flame war in This thread!!!!!

:popcorn:

It was locked before anyone could respond to my limerick about Fenris.


x(

[Redstone]

3. Flame away. Have some fun.

Redstone

[southlandshari]

5. POPCORN?!!

HOW COULD YOU?!!!!

:cry:

[nickgutierrez]

14. What's wrong with popcorn?

:popcorn:

:evilgrin:

[southlandshari]

25. What's wrong with YOU?

I thought we were friends!!!!!

:cry:

On edit:

OH MY GOD - I wasn't even thinking as I typed that. I was actually (blush) eating....popcorn....at my desk at the time. I kid you not.

:hide:

[nickgutierrez]

27. What?

I like popcorn.

Especially with lots and lots of butter and salt.

Yummy.

:popcorn:

It has nothing at all to do with flame wars. Absolutely nothing.

[southlandshari]

29. Re-read my post. I'm so ashamed. n/t

[nickgutierrez]

30. .

:rofl:

(Nothing more needs to be said, really. Except...)

:popcorn:

[southlandshari]

4. I know you very well, darlin'

And I know you are honest and not just sucking up!

:loveya:

[flamingyouth]

6. Damn! The thread got locked! I wanted that limerick, Nancy!

:rofl:

[Fenris]

7. ROFL! Me too!

:rofl:

[salin]

8. I had a post ready to go

and - she lived up to her dare, before I had the chance to hit "post".

Good on ya OKNancy... enjoy your time off!

[Midlodemocrat]

9. I posted one.

There once was a poster named Fenris.

[Avalux]

10. I missed it completely!

I'll be back for good in about 30 minutes. :hi:

[southlandshari]

11. Well, um....it could be unlocked, you know.....

:evilgrin:

[flamingyouth]

12. I protest! I protest!

I posted my thread first!!! :rofl:

[Midlodemocrat]

13. Please address all questions about DU policies and rules

to the administrators of this site.

Thank you.

[flamingyouth]

16. .

:spank:

[Midlodemocrat]

17. Okay, since you people are WAY too lazy to go to the other thread

and look up the limerick. Here it is:

There once was a poster named Fenris
Whose stay at DU was indeed tenuous.

He posted real crap
And needed a nap

Deciding that posting was strenuous.


Ta. Da.

Spur of the moment, after two glasses of wine.

[flamingyouth]

18. ROFL! I love it!

I think I'll put that on his next birthday cake! :rofl:

[Fenris]

...

:cry:









































:rofl:

[In_The_Wind]

22. Ta Da.

I love it!

[Redstone]

24. Hey, it ain't bad, and does (sort of) follow the meter of a real

limerick. Except the meter would work better if you substituted the word "quite" for the word "indeed." You have one extra syllable there.

Sorry, but I'm a perfectionist.

Redstone

On edit: Damn it, I'm a perfectionist, and spelled a word wrong!

[Moderator]

15. Behavist thyself

The vault is still ajar.....



:hide:

[Redstone]

20. No, it's "behave thyself," not "behavist."

Jeez, the lack of understanding of Old English grammar around this place is shocking, I tell you, just shocking!

Redstone

[flvegan]

19. And I didn't get to tell Moderator

not to be "askeered" of me. I'm a teddy bear. Honest.

Seriously, though, you Mods rawk, and I thank you for your service (and not banning me, when I know, deep down, that you could have).

[Name removed]

21. Deleted message

[flvegan]

23. Crap. Missed it.

[southlandshari]

31. Don't feel bad, darlin'...

I missed it, too. Have no idea what that post was about or why it was deleted. And I'm curious, since I know the moderator that wrote that about being "askeered of you" pretty well - if you have a message for her, tell me...I'll be sure she gets it, I promise!

;)

[flvegan]

35. Well...

First...dunno about the deletion. Don't think I said anything that deserved any kind of evil reply.

Second, well, I'd like nobody to be askeered of me. I have nothing but love for my fellow DUers...all of 'em, even though sometimes we don't see things the same. I'm just...well, bigger than some.

And, ahem, I must say...if said Mod is a "she" then...

*checks hair*
*licks pinkies and presses eyebrows down*
*pouts lips*
*flexes pecs*

I'd much rather that I be on her good side.

[southlandshari]

37. In that case....

A tip for you. When a female DUer says something nice about you in a "post your pic" thread - especially a female moderator....

REPLY!!!!!

(yes, the Search old posts function would be a good choice right now!)

[flvegan]

39. I suck at this.

I'm searching, yet, not finding. 2 picture posts, no Mod replies.

Have mercy. I know not what I do...ever.

[southlandshari]

43. I'll search for you....

But it may take a while....

In the meantime, the answer to your question is...YES!

:evilgrin:


On edit - piece of cake. Here's the thread - you find the post:

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_topic&forum=105&topic_id=4060558#4073416

[flvegan]

44. Aha!

Well then, I hope that I can make it up to you for not responding to your "speechless" post (my swelled head isn't fitting through any doors, now) in Tahiti. Your wish shall be my command...what southlandshari wants, southlandshari shall receive.

[southlandshari]

46. I'm out of here for a bit, back for the late night shift....

I shall ponder your sweet offer most carefully in the interim, darlin'!

;)

[flvegan]

49. Okay, just let me know.

Anything. At. All.

[southlandshari]

52. Ok, I'm back.

Before I say anything further, you need to tell me what you are doing to that cow in your sigline!

;)

[flvegan]

66. Giving her a big ole hug.

[southlandshari]

67. Hmmmmm.....

I look at your picture, and the last thing that comes to mind is soft-hearted, animal-loving vegan.

Hmmmmm.....

I like nothing better than someone who turns stereotypes upside down just be being who they are.

Hmmmmmm.....

:loveya:

[Redstone]

38. I think it was mine, and was supportive of both you and the mods.

At least I thought so when I posted it.

No matter.

Redstone

[Missy Vixen]

26. Okay, who drained the box of wine in the mod forum?

At least I didn't miss the Mods Run Amok portion of the evening...

:popcorn: :toast:

Julie

[southlandshari]

32. LOL, Julie baby!

Who's turn is it to go for beer? I've had enough of this hoity toity wine business. You?

:toast:

[Missy Vixen]

34. Beer, hell

I was on my way to the likker store. It's still open on the West Coast, y'know.

Who wants a "Skip and Go Naked"? :woohoo: :toast:

Julie

[southlandshari]

36. If you get me a big bottle of Jack, and a bag of ice....

I'll Skip and Go Naked with you anywhere, darlin'!

[Missy Vixen]

40. Wooo-hoooo!

We'd better watch out, the other mods will think this is a SEX THREAD!

:woohoo:

Julie

[southlandshari]

41. Er, um, I, ah.....

You mean it's NOT a sex thread?

[Missy Vixen]

42. Uh-oh

Wait till Nancy finds out we hijacked her nice thread...

:scared:

Julie
well, at least we didn't give away the information about the MOD HOT TUB...;-)

[Redstone]

45. Well, it wasn't supposed to be, but if you want it to be,

be my guest. You can use any of my threads as you wish, now and in the future.

What's mine is yours, and all that.

Redstone

[Missy Vixen]

50. Skip and Go Naked recipe

Beware -- this one has a kick like a mule...

:woohoo:

2/3 cup cold beer
2/3 cup frozen pink lemonade concentrate
1/4 cup vodka
straws or stirrers

Fill blender container halfway with ice. Pour in beer, lemonade, and vodka, blend well and serve.

:woohoo:

Julie

[Avalux]

48. Julie!

I had no idea you had this side to you! :rofl:

[Pithlet]

28. I didn't, either. Thank you, OKNancy!

I moderated here a few terms a long time ago. I'm sure it's a whole different experience nowadays. Thanks to all the moderators.

[southlandshari]

33. Ever think about coming back?

I wish I'd had the chance to serve with you!!!

:hug:

[Pithlet]

47. I do

I took time off when I had the last kidlet. I would love to serve with you! Maybe a future mod term :) :hug:

[The Magistrate]

51. She Is A Great One, Sir!

It has been a privilege to work with her, and get to know her a little.

[ReadTomPaine]

63. You're not so bad yourself, Magistrate!

:thumbsup:

[southlandshari]

53. I'm the moderator, and I'm NOT locking this thread....

At least not yet.

:P

Just thought the late, late night crew ought to have a crack at at thread like this before the final hours of this moderator term wind down.

For your reference:

[billyskank]

54. Oh goody! Can we talk about sex, then?

:D

[southlandshari]

56. Well...

I guess so, but only if you can exercise the appropriate level of maturity, sensitivity, and discretion. Which has yet to be accomplished by anyone here in the Lounge posting about sex.

Don't make me lock this thread so soon!

;)

[Crazy Guggenheim]

55. Great then we can razz her ..........

:popcorn:

[southlandshari]

57. You can razz me all you want...

I still have a few hours in which I can see you never do it again - on DU, anyway!

:P

[southlandshari]

58. On second thought...

There is still a perfectly good, open thread we can play in....

[ReadTomPaine]

59. Thank you all! You guys do a great job.

[southlandshari]

60. Thank you!

:hug:

[WCGreen]

64. You're no longer gonna be a mod....

[chknltl]

61. well if that is the case....

...with all due respect to you as a moderator....I know not what it is you guys do, but my sincere thanks to you for doing it. :toast:

chknltl: I am but one of 70,000+ who understands that an informed electorate is critical to the Democratic process, we come to the Democratic Underground for that information. If you have dedicated any portion of your life to the upkeep of the Democratic Underground then you have much to be proud of southlandshari.

[southlandshari]

62. Thank you, chknltl!

That was a very nice reply!

I make jokes about being a moderator around here - but truth be told, it is an incredible honor to me to have served the past few months in this role. And I had absolutely, positively NO idea what I was getting into when I sent in a note of interest, just wanting Skinner and others to know how much DU meant to me and that I was always willing to reciprocate if I could.

Whew! There aren't words to describe the experience!

Thank you for YOUR kind words, though - they mean an awful lot!

:toast:

[chknltl]

65. You are welcome, you have earned those words.....

carefull with all those :toast:....some of us...hiccup... don't drink much...hic.. :toast: I know, it is a LOUNGE afterall... here let me stick a quarter in the jukebox before I go....these are some friends of mine, I hope you enjoy them as I have, just click on "kick back and listen"

Goodnight ma'am.

68. I don't know what this is about, but thank you OKNancy
