I just saw that John Turner is no more the moderator of the DB section!
Look who are now the 'bosses'!
Thanks, Chris and Don!

i figured that it was about time that you guys got somebody to mod over here who actually knew of what they spoke, as far as DB goes.

JT, as your last parting gift to the DB forums (other than the American Standard thread, that is), are you sure you can't change those to DURRL and DONOSAUR? That should shorten the forum height a bit.... |

Yoo hoo, Paul...over here.
Can we be listed as Durrll and Donosaurus?

| | Registered User | | Join Date: Aug 2000 Location: San Francisco, CA | | I see absolutely no reason that the DB overlords shouldn't be subjected to the ritual new mod hazing. That being said, before any omniring and instruction booklet is mailed, I believe that the body shaving victim should be decided.
Congratulations guys, make us proud! |

| Dibs on Michelle Pfeiffer! If she's not on the list, Juliette Binoche (sp?) will do nicely. |

Don? Doooooooonnnnn? Yoooo-hooo? I think Mr. Turner has a business proposition for you.... |

btw, what am i supposed to do with these pics again? let me know when the a.s.s. contest is happening - i want to vote on it too, to represent the "ignorant semi-evolved chimp" constituency.

| | Registered User | | Join Date: Dec 1999 Location: Ridgewood, NJ | | | Officially, there are only 3 judges: John Turner, Ed Fuqua, and Bob Gollihur. Their decision and the photographs are to be posted together, so that the righteous indignation of everyone else can follow.
So don't screw this up, JT. e-mail the photos to Ed and Bob FIRST.

BTW, DONOSAUR(US?), did you caption your pics, or send them a la carte? I numbered mine, so I could go either way...but if you get captions, I GET CAPTIONS TOO, DAMMIT! Let me know - if you did captions, I'll send mine in an email to JT, assuming he's got my pics by now... |

| | Registered User | | Join Date: Aug 2000 Location: San Francisco, CA | | | I'm really out of the loop. I'm not really sure I want to know, but what's the deal with these pictures that are in circulation? I'm not involved, right? I was really young, I needed the work, that Rogue bass was just out of my price range, and I'd do anything to buy it. I didn't know any better. They said that they wouldn't circulate them. |

Leave for a few days and the place falls apart. Heehee-haaha
Thanks for your patience with us URB'ers JT. I can't imagine how much you have suffered with the dry wit of us all.
Welcome to Don and Durrl, "the double D's" of moderators for stepping up to the plate and fending off the slings and bows of all of us who are out here trying to be cute on TB.
BTW, I will be posting pictures this week of the ugliest looking bass that I have ever seen. I do not want to compete in the A.S.S competition because they have to sound great compared to this one.
Mark
