MIT (Moderator-In-Training)

[abby]

Unfortunately, WB will not have as much time to devote to his Mod duties this Spring. Luckily, however, we have found a replacement. Based on the original moderator's recommendation, I have appointed and1grad as our newest moderator. He will be training with WB over the next few weeks. Lets all give our newest mod-in-training a big welcome! And remember, be nice - he's got the power now ;)
I welcome your recommendations for future mods and as always, appreciate your feedback (as long as it doesn't mean me having to do a lot of work or spend a lot of money :)).

[kitalyn414]

yay and1!!! good choice! :huge:

[paiger81]

Yeah AND1, you kick ass :huge:

[biodork]

Congrats! :)

[tina1979]

Congrats And1!!!!

[Desiderata]

So does this mean we can pick on WB under the protection of And1?? ;):

[coll214]

Congrats and1!! :D

[Starfish81]

Hooray for and1!

[Crimson King II]

And1??? You think and1 can handle me? Please....

j/k

[pisces2473]

HA! That would be funny if EVERY mod got the chance to ban CK.

CK the 3rd??

[WeirdBrake]

Welcome to our world, and1grad. :huge:

I'll still be the moderator until about late May of this year, and then I'm going to have to get serious about studying for the bar exam. Which, of course, means that I'll be saying my goodbyes to the QLC board in general (or at least for a while). At that point, I will retire as a mod, and and1grad will officially replace me.

As Abby said, and1grad is now a moderator-- with all the powers and rights and privileges thereunto appertaining-- and I'll be "showing him the ropes." So the QLC Moderating Team now consists of Jen, and1grad, and myself. Lead, of course, by our always-faithful Commander-in-Chief, Abby.

OK, I'll stop now before I go overboard. ;):

[Winter Storm]

Uh oh, there goes the whole board! No congrats and1grad.

[Crimson King II]

Let's say hypothetically I believe I'm really really really right about something...and I say something like, "That's ridiculous....any retarded monkey who forgot to wear his helmet and hit his head really hard before succumbing to a brain infection that makes him brain dead and ignorant beyond fathomability knows more than you....."

What would happen then, and1?


Just wondering.....not planning on doing that or anything....really. I'm not. But what would happen?

[WeirdBrake]

CK is the QLC board equivalent of that kid you knew in elementary school who was always getting sent to the principal's office.

[heatherf]

Speech! Speech! Speech!

:)

[Crimson King II]

QLC equivalent hell. I WAS that kid in elementary school that was always getting sent to the principal's office. I think I set an attendance record for days in the office that still stands today.

[WeirdBrake]

What were you doing? Accusing your teachers of socialist leanings? ;)

[lawya girl]

What were you doing? Accusing your teachers of socialist leanings? ;)


HEEHEEHEEHEEHEE :lol:

[Skyblade]

I got sent to the principals office once...for kicking some kid in the nuts (it was my way of showing that I had a crush on him) hehe

[Crimson King II]

Actually Brake...I did do that to my Geography teacher in 8th grade. It's a funny story because she spent a semester telling us about the ozone layer over Antarctica and everything was Antarctica this, Antarctica that. So I fired out the C word at her (Communist) and she hit the wall. Ironically two years later I saw her in the crowd at the Arkansas Governor's mansion on election night when Bill Clinton was elected in 1992. But yeah....got detention for that one.

[pisces2473]

Hahahahahahahahahah

[WeirdBrake]

Wow. I only got sent to the principal's office for punching people. LOL

[Crimson King II]

I was proud of that one though. She WAS a communist. I pretty much wanted to wear my Ronald Reagan button to class every day.

[Crimson King II]

I think my exact comment about Antarctica was, "We're only studying this because you're either a penguin or a raging, tree-hugging communist."

[Starfish81]

I don't get the link between Antarctica, the ozone layer, and communism.

[heatherf]

CK-

Do you have a multiple personality disorder? One of you is CK, the other Alex P Keaton? ;):

[Crimson King II]

I was taking heavy doses of Rush Limbaugh at the time. 10 weeks of Antarctica makes you realize you're dealing with a rabid, ultra-liberal, environut. Who closely on the heels of the fall of communism were synonymous with communists. Today, I would have called her Howard Dean.

[Crimson King II]

No. But I've been called Alex Keaton since 5th grade, thanks. Welcome aboard that train.

[coll214]

CK-

LMAO... that's exactly what i was thinking!!

[heatherf]

It's ok. Greg and I tell eachother all the time that one of our biggest fears is that our baby is going to turn out like Alex Keaton! Oh the horror! :eek:

[Starfish81]

I am environmentally friendly, and liberal. But I'm also a capitalist. I want to run my own company someday in our pseudo-free-market economy here in the US.

Global warming is obviously bad, but it has nothing to do government mandated jobs or working on a commune. I don't think Howard Dean would support communism either. Maybe I missed the link between political beliefs and economic systems in my multiple classes.

[Crimson King II]

You have to remember the times. 1992. Communism still in memory. So was Reagan who was conservative AND anti-communist. At the time, everything liberal was perceived synonmymous with communist in the political lingo. They may as well have been one in the same, especially in a nation with 49 red states.

I'm not trying to say liberals are communists. I'm just telling you what was said.

[Starfish81]

You have to remember the times. 1992.

In 1992, my big concerns were watching Ren and Stimpy, and performing in my class' musical play commemorating Christopher Columbus' unfortunate stopover in the Western world. I was 10, and the only communal thing I knew about were the showers on our camping trips.

Thank you for your clarification, though, CK.

oh holy shit CK! This has to be one of your crowning moments! :googly: "I'm not trying to say libeals are communists." Ok, suuuuuurrrrrrreeeeeeee, we believe you.

[Starfish81]

Sorry for contributing to the hijack, abby and and1. :googly:

[Crimson King II]

I'm not heather. I believe the Communists were far more honest about what they were trying to do. The liberals are far to subtle.

[heatherf]

Right. The communists didn't use code like "weapons of mass destruction", did they? :evil:

[Crimson King II]

No heather...they pointed them at Miami and Washington D.C. and Los Angeles.

[heatherf]

No heather...they pointed them at Miami and Washington D.C. and Los Angeles.


True. But they only pointed them. They didn't invade our country.

[wordsmith]

This guy in my graduating high school class, the one who was president of every club, organization and fart-blowing contest in the district, was an Alex P. Keaton clone. Then he went to college and came out a Democrat. :lol:

[WeirdBrake]

fart-blowing contest

Dammit. I ALWAYS end up losing those!

[WeirdBrake]

Okay, from newly minted moderators to communism to farts. This thread can now graduate and get its degree.

[and1grad]

Did somebody say grad?

Anyways, I just wanted to say that I appreciate all the love. I look forward to episodic bannings of CK. It'll be like in Fresh Prince of Bel Air when Jazzy Jeff keeps gettin thrown out. Good times!






The constant references to TV are purely coincidental

[heatherf]

That is so funny And1! :razz:

[Starfish81]

Anyways, I just wanted to say that I appreciate all the love. I look forward to episodic bannings of CK. It'll be like in Fresh Prince of Bel Air when Jazzy Jeff keeps gettin thrown out. Good times!

You're welcome. Can you make CK wear that ugly shirt that Jazz wears every time so you can tell he's about to get thrown out?

[and1grad]

LOL

You can tell by his shirt?? THATS funny.

[Starfish81]

LOL

You can tell by his shirt?? THATS funny.
Yeah, it's the same shirt every time. Probably so they could use the clip whenever he got thrown out, instead of shooting a new throwing out scene for every episode.

[kimmer23]

oh congrats!
some forums/message boards have up to 12 mods!

[cheshrcarol]

:eek: Congratulations!! :green:

[kimmer23]

are you still gonna be on to post WB or will be off for a while all together?

[WeirdBrake]

I'll still be on to post and moderate until about late May. Then I'll probably be off the boards altogether as I'm studying for the bar of your state. :) At least until late July. After that, I'm not sure. But it's possible I'll be back after that.

I'll be sure to tell everyone goodbye when the time comes.

[shimmer728]

Dammit. I ALWAYS end up losing those!

I find that awfully hard to believe.

[mishl982]

Congrats, and1!

[kimmer23]

well when ya have a free weekend when yer here in MD we'll take ya out...no puking in anyone's sink though! :eek:

[shimmer728]

well when ya have a free weekend when yer here in MD we'll take ya out...no puking in anyone's sink though! :eek:

That was me who did that. ;)

[pisces2473]

Dude, you'll post. You'll be like, GODDAMN THIS BAR EXAM PREP!!!! I HATE EVERYONE!!!!

And then we'll say, "Chill out, WB."

Yup, that's how it's gonna be.

[kimmer23]

That was me who did that.

oh i know...i was just joking. ya know how you pick up each other's traits sometime??!!!! i can see him getting drunk faster than you shimmer!

[shimmer728]

oh i know...i was just joking. ya know how you pick up each other's traits sometime??!!!! i can see him getting drunk faster than you shimmer!

He usually does! Last week was a rarity.

[WeirdBrake]

Dude, you'll post.

No, because it'll kill me to only have very limited time on the boards and not be able to look at everyone's posts and see what's happening. It's better psychologically if I just don't come on here at all.

i can see him getting drunk faster than you shimmer!

I can get drunk faster. I just hold it better. :p

[kimmer23]

well shimmer holds her alcohol in a sink! just messin' with ya....
(better than in the car any day)

[pisces2473]

Such dedication. Too bad you couldn't pull that in school! HAHAHA j/k :razz:

Maybe you could give updates to Allison and she can fill us in. But seriously, when she's looking at QLC while you're around, you aren't gonna be able to keep away. Just like a train wreck...

lol

[WeirdBrake]

well shimmer holds her alcohol in a sink!

Among other things mixed in. :eek:

Such dedication. Too bad you couldn't pull that in school!

School?! Why would I show dedication for school? Come on, priorities are priorities! lol

I think I'll be too busy learning things like strict liability, duty breaches, affirmative duties, proximate causation and intervening causes, comparative negligence rules, hearsay and exceptions, confidentiality and party admission exceptions, rule against perpetuities, limited ownership, and transfer of ownership, inheritance by will and intestate succession, warranty, contract for the sale of goods, probable cause standards, elements of murder, rape, assault, robbery, and theft, and excuse and justification defenses, government limitations on free speech and equal protection infringements, state and federal jurisdiction, personal and in rem jurisdiction, minimum contacts rule, Erie Doctrine, certification of a class action, impleader and joinder of claims, issue preclusion, and conditional acceptances, among other things, for both the multi-state portion and the MD written portion.

And all I know so far is that judges wear black robes.

Yea, you lost me at strict liability.

We'll miss you - at least you're not leaving just yet.

Shut up! :cry: You had me at proximate something or other!! :razz:




I realize that thats probly only funny to me...and am ok with that

[shimmer728]

Yeah, that pretty much was only funny to you. ;)

[GetMeOuttaDC]

I think my exact comment about Antarctica was, "We're only studying this because you're either a penguin or a raging, tree-hugging communist."

OK, then, that's a little more than "just firing the C-word at her"... Your ass would have gotten kicked to Antartica if you'd said that in my jr. high!

and Congrats and1 ! :cool:

[and1grad]

Yeah, that pretty much was only funny to you. ;)

Hey the next time u guys drunk dial me, sing a lil bit of "Proud Mary" for me. Here's the chorus:

Big wheel keep on turning,
Proud Mary keep on burning,
Rolling, rolling, rolling on the river.

Figure you MIGHT be able to mumble thru most of that...maybe...before yakking into a receptacle of...well someone's choosing. ;)



p.s. Thanks again everybody
