I just found out what my title is...

[The Holy Saint, Grand High Poobah, Master of Monkeys, Ehlers]

See, that's the thing about being younger: you're always doing somethign worth laughing at. This is why older people laugh.

And clank goes the trap. Not true. We have a freshmen that sits with us at lunch, and he is pretty cool. And much smarter than many juniors that I know.

Thanks for the welcome EUOL...  Glad to be here...

Yeah, in the book the family has 7 boys, but it's based loosely on my family, that ended up with 10 boys (and a girl).  I was the second oldest and didn't have a sister until I was 18.  It was a wild, wild, ride.  

And if my wife ever agrees to move into a Teepee with me, and leave the mortgage, the utility bills, and indoor plumbing behind, I think I could support a family on my writing.  Beans, wheat, and rat meat are cheap...

I think EUOL's point has been in the past that we're currently working as a writer vs. editor, right? Because I technically count as a writer, as well, if you count the magazine I used to work for. I wrote as much as I edited. Just not fiction.

[Fellfrosch]

That would put you in the corporate writer/editor category. Which is the coolest category anyway, if you don't mind being a gear in The Machine.

ONE OF US! ONE OF US!

/me raises the chant among his ninja monkeys.

And don't think the irony the idea of the guy who obsesses about ninja monkeys and action figures being a corporate cog conformist is lost on me.

[Entsuropi]

We still win.

[Archon]

I would just like to forward the notion that Entropy really needs to change back to a more evil class, because they suit him so much better than this one. Not to say that you are dishonorable Entropy, but evil just fits you like a glove. A gauntlet that you could use to smack down out-of-line newbies.

[Entsuropi]

I no longer do that. I moved onto forum moderator smacking It's harder but more rewarding, much like a prestige class.

[Archon]

If that were true, then you would have to change your sig. Come on, JP is good, but making fun of people is much better with two people. Gorgon and I are perfect examples. Either one of us is good at making fun of people. But when you put us together we have the capacity to have them running away crying in a matter of minutes.

[Entsuropi]

My sig is a joke based on an arthurian title.

Besides, almost all of the people who do the newbie thing are mods now. They sold out, TO THE WEBSITE. This must be punished by random and moderately incoherant statements. In other news, Gemm is really a robot that I purchased from deepest china and gave a rudimentary english to chinese translation program.

[Archon]

Entropy, that wasn't incoherent. As a matter of fact, that would make a lot more sense than Gemm being a human sometimes. After all, Gemm says stuff that is a lot weirder than "All your base are belong to us" (Yes, I know that was from Japanese).

[Entsuropi]

Well I was implying that gemms gibberish was merely another tool in my vast selection of... selections.

[Archon]

Ah yes, that makes sense. Viva La Revolution!

[Firemeboy]

Well, I had to take out my reference to Mountain Dew, and every last reference to 'poop' (though how you can have a realistic book about pre-teen boys without using the word poop is beyond me), but the book has gone to the typesetter...
