Way ahead of you...
IChing! UChing! We allChing for IChing!
What started out as initiation by fire turned into the zotting of a good freeper.
Sure as heck wasn't Jedi mind tricks.

The Lead Moderator is responsible for the Mothman Conspiracy...
Yeah, well, I got compromising pics of you. With a Barry Manilow t-shirt.
Caution Focault’s Pendulum, it’s a tossup between beer and pecan pie and ice cream, ask first.
Pizza delivered without beer makes for one very grumpy mod.
I will not be substituted.
Uh, no. Unless you think zots have some kind of subliminal sexual undertone.
Harmless Teddy Bear ~ But not pizza. The last pizza delivery to the Moderator den resulted in one missing delivery boy.
Yes, but it did accomplish the goal of having a compliant Mod...
The interview had been going well. Finally my interviewer got to the part that signaled he had no more questions. The signal doesn’t vary much from company to company. “Well,” he said, “that’s all the questions I have for you. Do you have any for me?”I have a pretty good set of questions I usually ask to let him know I was paying attention and really care about the job. Usually I already know the answer but asking the question is important. In this case I really did have a question about something that had piqued my curiosity.
“That office over there,” I nodded my head to my left, his right, “I haven’t seen anyone go in or out since I’ve been here. What’s it used for?”
“Oh, people don’t go in there. That’s where we keep the zombie coders.”
“Zombie coders?” My poker face was nowhere to be found. “You have zombies in there?”
“Oh, yeah.” He said. “They’re great. Their code is as good as we ever got from people. They don’t mind working long, hard hours, and we don’t have to pay them a thing.”
“But, I thought zombies were dangerous.” I was making sure I knew where the exits were.
“Oh, not if you feed them well,” he assured me. “They really don’t have any interest in coming out of that room. The only reason they would is if they got hungry. We haven’t ever had a problem with that. They don’t even get noisy any more, although in the early days the sounds coming through the door would tell us they were hungry.”
“But, how can you feed them if...”
“Shh,” he interrupted me, “you’re just in time. Just watch.”
At that point a man came into the room and said, “Did someone order pizza?” My host pointed to the door and the pizza man said, “Thanks.” Then he opened the door. Immediately he was snatched and I heard the first part of a scream before the door shut behind him and muffled the sound of rending flesh. Nobody else in the room even looked up.
“Delivery guys are our salvation. There are way too many of them in this city anyway. Nobody cares when one goes missing. And there are plenty of food places around here so we can order delivery for over 3 months before we have to repeat. It’s a really sweet setup.”
I’m not sure what he was reading in my face at this point, but I noticed more movement by that door. A man in a suit and tie knocked on the door and said, “OK, guys, status time.” Then he opened the door and went in. I cringed waiting for the sounds I had heard from the pizza guy, but was surprised when nothing happened. A few minutes later the door opened and the man in the suit came out. “Thanks, guys. See you tomorrow,” he said.
“How did he do that?” I asked, my eyes surely as round as saucers at this point.
“Oh, that was the project manager. He was never in any danger. The zombies only eat brains.”
That’s my favorite t-shirt. And Sidebar...had it coming...
>> I think this is a job for your ping list. You know the one.

> Way ahead of you...
That’s what I get for reading it first! LOL
Well, I was gonna offer pirated copies of Win 8, but I figgered that was a non starter. Mebbe XP would work.
Sidebar was an idiot. He took on Loki alone.
Why don’t you just go make me a sandwich.
The Moderators were assigned to sabotaging Palin during the McCain campaign.
They had previous experience under Nixon when the made Muskie cry.
They are a breed into UNTO themselves. whew! almost blew that...
Yeah but you got to admit Sidebar's Costume was bitchin'!
