Several posters have complained about our capricious program's giving of titles, ie NEWBIE to a poster with 100 plus counts. Well boys and girls I just changed Old Bald Guy's as a test. I figure a retired ChiP in a motorhome somewhere in Alaska at worst will call the San Fernando station and get me hauled over on the 101 Freeway. To avoid abuse, I will change any demeaning member level assignations and replace them with your own ego stroking , but pre approved submissions by request. Lets have some clean fun folks- and Bill Gates I hurl Monty Python insults at you from my castle wall.

Wow, a few weeks ago I didn't even know that I had a "title" here, and now I'm THIS???(most honored member who smiles better than Eric Estrada).

What do you drive anyway, I need to put out a BOL???

ps: we are out of Alaska, now covered with snow in NW Washington state. 26 degrees at 2100 hours...

I believe that I will leave that up to you CK. Feel free to bestow upon me whatever titles and honors you think I deserve, or lack thereof... <img src="/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Is there a character limit? And is "Huh? Did I sleep through lunch again?" taken? <img src="/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

The retired CHiP is now a sworn officer in Muncie, IN for his new "reality" show Armed and Famous. (Or at least he was during shooting.)

He was just a makebelieve Chip, not the real deal.

But he is actually doing a pretty good job in Muncie. Did a great job signing the old gals boob last night...

Thanks a lot buddy, now I am getting PM's telling me that "I" mispelled Eric, which is really spelled Erik. Sheese, I get blamed for everything...

Wow, I have never been called that before. Cool. Makes me sound really impotent around here, now maybe I'll get some respect...

You can set me to "null" or no level. If you need to have something in the box then the plain jane "Member" will do.

There should be a Lurker tag. Lot's to learn, not much to add.

I would like "Newbie member" to go bye-bye. I don't care what you replace it with.

Chris,

Can I get "Master Mistake Maker"? Judging from the amount of scar tissue I've accumulated over the years that title seems fitting...

Hey OBG....you might wanna edit that last post of yours. If you want respect, you might want to use the word "important," not "impotent." That probably won't get you what you want.... <img src="/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Old habit from a female office I used to work with, she always pronounced it that way, and it kinda stuck. IT DOESN'T MEAN ANYTHING, HONEST...
