IS THERE LIFE BEYOND POOH-BAH??? The answer (well, according to my source, which i was unable to cross-reference, but it seems pretty reliable) is a resounding YES. it happens when you reach 2500 posts, and just so i don't ruin it for anyone who seriously doesn't want to know, i won't even type it in white, i'll just give you the link. http://www.pookiegotdabooty.com/newbies.htm i've never been good at letting nature take its course, hi, x-m so i'm impressed in advance by those of you who won't peek.

Perhaps Anu should be challenged to think up more suitable options!

Logically, the next step up from Pooh-Bah is Mikado.

WEAK! We are all weak! Weak! WEAK! All of us who took a peek! We must write to The Great Anu and ask him to change the designations ... carpal tunnel might become one of those self-fulfilling things and I don't want Tsuwm, Jackie and Max to have that pain inflicted on them. And --not to give even more away -- As for the rest? C'mon! Yuck!

Jazzoctopus old hand Jazzoctopus old hand Joined: Jul 2000 Posts: 1,094 Cincinnati & Loveland, Ohio, U... As we've already discussed, Anu has no role in determining the titles. That site is completely unaffiliated with AWAD except that it uses the same discussion board service. Since we've already discovered this it seems foolish to me that we continue to gawk at the new titles.
