Dennis,

Congrats.

But... what does "Joined the team" mean? Does this mean he has broad sweeping powers and can suspend Habaes Corpus? Can he have me whipped with a wet noodle?

Only with your consent, and you have to provide your own noodle ... and do the whipping yourself. Hey, we're a small, volunteer staff here we can't do everything for you!

No, I'm entirely good. I leave the evil part to the Evil Twin. ("And if ya don't behave, Bun-Bun and Guido will have a talk with ya about showing respect...")

Think Ahura Mazda and Ahriman.

"Broad sweeping powers"? Well, sweeping up the occasional electronic mess is part of the job, so I guess so. But the folks on MobileRead are housebroken, and seldom make messes, so I don't anticipate a lot of that activity.

In practical terms, what it means is that I'm an MR staff member, and can officially represent the site at industry functions like the Sony launch I wrote up last week. The Moderator hat came as part of the package, but in practice, I don't expect to wear it much.

For the most part, none of us has to wear it much.

You don't know Bun-bun.

But in practice, it shouldn't be a problem. As long as he is supplied with Baywatch tapes and alfafa martinis, and has things his way, he can even be likable, for suitable values of the term.

C'mon, Ricky, I suggested you look up Sluggy on Saturday evening, you clearly haven't even read the first (few) dozen strips (or so) or you'd know that "Nerd-Boy" is a specific character, and that Bun-bun has no qualms about whomping on girls.

Congratulations Dennis and wélcome to the Team!!!

Bun-bun has no qualms about whomping on anybody. It's part of his, um, charm.

BTW I always thought that avatar was your real portrait. It saddens me now to have to see you otherwise.

not to worry : just like everybody else around here, you'll be pleased to know that Bun-- ahem, Dennis looks just like his avatar.

"Charm."

I suppose that's as good a word as any.

Can't help on the jealousy, but I may be able to provide more enlightenment.

Thanks for the welcome.

Yeah, but some girls, at least, are smart enough to stay out of his way after the initial traumatic incident.

Though now that I think on it, Torg does try to stay away from Bun-bun most of the time....
