Oh, well, when you apply for modship here, along with your three hundreds dollar application fee, you have to send in a 1000-word essay about why you want to ban people, who you would like to ban and how you plan to accomplish your banning goals for the year.

Then, if you make that cut, you submit a multiple choice test that measures how often you are likely to ban and indicates how banning affects your emotional well-being. If it doesn't make you feel all warm and fuzzy inside to ban someone, you just won't work out on staff here. The motto here is "I ban, therefore I am".

You may also know that mods here have a special sig that only other mods can see. Mine is, "A ban a day keeps the voices in my head away". I'm not going to tell tales, but others here use such gems as:

"I love the smell of banning on the morning. It smells like...victory."

"I think that I shall never see
Anything lovely as a banning."

"E=MC banned."

and...

"What doesn't destroy me, makes me ban more."

I wanted that last one, but it was already taken.

I would have figured you for a "Not that I banned you, but that I can ban you no more, has shaken me" type.

Seems more, I don't know, "Faust like".

You only had to pay 300? Shit! They made me pay 500. Is the 100.00 yearly renewal fee still in place? Damn! I think I got screwed. :roll:

Oh, you paid the Old Fart surcharge. I had to pay that one, too. The $100.00 fee is still in place, but you can have it waived if you can demonstrate that at least 51% of your bannings have been patently unfair, or if anyone's mom calls to complain.

Stop trying to hide your yo-love, you're just oozing it ... well, not sure what that oozing is, and don't want the information.

Yeah, I love that movie, even today. I think its name is "Fizgig", if I remember correctly.

I like the part where the machine is sucking the "essence" out of the poor little... what were they? Anyway, it reminds me of watching people watching TV.

LOl, I went out to piratecity and watched it again. They are "pod people", kind of a modern social commentary, even for a quarter century old movie.

The more shit "changes", the more it just stays the same ... LOL.
