Very nice.

Kinsey's writings are, to a post, educational and entertaining. I may not agree with everything he says, but I always look forward to his words. Great words.

Congratulations to the New York crew.

Somehow it seems perverse -- cruel even -- to congratulate him, when he was so clearly duped, suckered, exploited, and hoodwinked into doing this.

indeed. i was very careful not to use that word. the way i see it, it's good for us, bad for him. but don't tell him that.

congratulations us, with the exception of sam.

Congratulations. :rolleyes:

I'd say, for a new moderator of something like the Pacific Northwest or Italy forum, it would be simple smiley-free-appropriate perversity to say congratulations. But given what a pain in the ass the New York Metro Area eGullet members have been historically, I don't think anything less than six or seven emoticons can do the trick. You have no idea how hard it was to find a user who was at the same time 1) highly intelligent, and 2) with a lot of food knowledge, yet 3) extremely gullible, and 4) clueless enough about eGullet history to be willing to take this job.

I'd just like to add to this that the girl he's mostly impressing these days is me. Any other girls he's trying to impress are largely fig newtons of his imagination.

:biggrin:

Naturally, congrats, Sam! And no, I won't start referring to you as "the boss of me."

But isn't the whole point that you should want him to impress other girls so they'll be envious of your status?

Aw, all I have to do for THAT is walk down the street with him. They fall to the ground weeping and clutching at his legs. We have to beat 'em off with clubs.

Thanks, everyone.

No one has mentioned my main qualification, which is that I am a self-important, over-educated arrogant ass who talks too much. I hope to fit right in. After all, that's why I moved to NYC! :biggrin:

Other self-important, over-educated arrogant asses who talk too much don't generally offer up the obvious concerning others.

Welcome, Sam.

Have him take another picture of that eye after 6 months on the job. Compare, then see how you like it.

My eye.

Oooooh, exactly what I was afraid of!

Are those hazel or green? How about a peek at the whole handsome mug?! That eye is soooo piercing! (but in a good way)

:raz:

Luv ya Sam. :wink:
