<p>:eek: Unlike Mr. Gates of A+M, I prefer to stay in academia. And alive. The not so loyal oppostion would have me shot before dawn on the first day. So , I rmust respectfully decline. I will however take the position of trash-picker in our internet park (stick with the nail guy). I know we need that. ;)</p>
<p>I’d really rather be queen… </p>
<p>Ya know, I was thinking myself of the FEMA job. I even rode in an ambulance once, and know how to work my weather radio. (Am I overqualified?)</p>
<p>But the indoor job has it’s appeal as well. I might be a little far for the 9th district. (Loss of WHAT respect?) I like the lifetime appointment stuff, I have lots of opinions - all of 'em right, and I do like to have the last word on things. </p>
<p>Gee, tough choices. Too much thinking. Maybe I’ll wait and see who wines and dines me best. I knew that knowing you folks would pay off some day. </p>
<p>But Berurah – do you REALLY have wild hunting instincts just for Dadofsam??? </p>
<p>(Oh, I think I missed a comma. ;))</p>
<p>
SHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!! Keep it on the sly, huh?? 
:o</p>
<p>Do I really have to compete with Soozie for Sec of Education? All I know is that if Soozie gets the job, the Dept. will have to order twice the amount of paper.</p>
<p>I pledge that if selected, I will advocate the teaching of evolution, not revolution. Can I get rid of the current motto, “Testing, testing, 1, 2, 3, again and again?”</p>
<p>I just have to be the nag.</p>
<p>When you figure out that position, you can hand it to me. I have training. Lots of it.</p>
<p>part of my job description will be to do research, so I get to fly to Paris, to Rome, to Hawaii, you know to see what other places are doing with regard to the human condition</p>
<p>and of course I will need to be able to test out various theraputics things- massages, facials, aroma theropy, exercise, spas, to see what would be effect for weight loss, stress, getting rid of addictions, that kind of thing</p>
<p>I rescind my offer to be the resident nag.</p>
<p>I want something more glamorous.</p>
<p>Wild commas on the loose!</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Not for me, Berurah, not for MOI - for the good of the community. And be careful who you go hunting with, d’ya hear?
And Binx - please do check the commas. Thanx.</p>
<p>Wild commas on the loose!</p>
<p>Didn’t Lynn Truss write the book about our vice-prez? You know, the one with the title Eats, shoots, and leaves?</p>
<p>and we will be sworn in on a laptop computer…as our meetings will be virtual</p>
<p>
YEAH, BINX!! <em>NO</em> scandals until we’re fully formed, ya hear!!?? ;)</p>
<p>I want to be both Pope and King!</p>
<p>
Wait a second!! Whatever happened to checks and balances??!! 
</p>
<p>Darnit Allmusic, <em>I</em> was going to ask for something glamorous, like being the person who plans the banquets. Now I’ll just have to be UN Ambassador, 'cause no one’s taken that yet. I have great qualifications too…I’ve been to about fifty countries and been alternately snarky and accomodating in all of them. Also, I dream of parking anywhere I want.</p>
<p>Dadguy - I already have dibs on queen. If you’re king and Pope I’m afraid there might be some sort of complication somewhere, but my job doesn’t involve thinking so I can’t quite figure it out. However, if you wait till we’re fully formed, Berurah says scandals are allowed, so maybe we can work something out.</p>
<p>Sorry about the comma, folks. Just hand it over to whomever was in charge of spin. They’ll fix it. Or complicate it. Or make it more fun to distract us from the REAL issues, which are What are we eating at that banquet? And who’s on the invite list?</p>
<p>
Allowed? Maybe. Inevitable? Absolutely. ;)</p>
<p>
I <em>KNEW</em> there was a good reason why I loved you! :D</p>
<p>~b.</p>
<p>LOL, I spend the morning in a meeting and we morph into a monarchy…</p>
<p>Oops - I didn’t read far enough - looks like we’re a theocracy - or - both - we have a Pope/King? </p>
<p>Er, what are we now, exactly???</p>
<p>Not being a denizen of the political threads, I fail to qualify for any office or title. But I do love this thread. My chance to lurk ;).</p>
<p>Carry on.</p>
<p>If we are going to use kingdoms, I’m going to raise horses.</p>
