Hey, Max, congratulations on achieving
POOH-BAHism. When was the last time an elder statesman hailed from Hawkes Bay, huh?
Now, one of you is clearly Octavianus. And one Caesar. Oh, and the other one over there must be Antonius. But which is which?
Thanks, CK. Uneasy lies the head of the clown, I can tell you.
Congrats on your achievement, Max (done with a minimal amount of "cheating," I might add
)
Now, one of you was clearly born great. And one achieved greatness. Oh, and the other one over there must have had greatness thrust upon theirself. But which is which?
My sweet Max,
I am thrilled! You are the most lovable Pooh-Bah there
could ever be. Congratulations, Dude!
or, more appropriately perhaps, the choice is between First Lord of the Admiralty, Lord Chamberlain, Attorney-General, Chancellor of the Exchequer, Privy Purse, or Private Secretary -- so there's still room for a further three Pooh-Bahs before we have to consider cloning!
and what's the Japanese word for "troika"?
as pooh-bah i, I'd select Chancellor of the Privy (if I had a choice).
Congraduations indeed, M'Lud Pooh-Bah the thrid.
And paulb, in answer to what's the Japanese word for "troika"? . There is no Japanese word for troika; the country's not big enough to fit three horses across on any one road.
Sanjin might work for triumvir.
Max !
Please forgive the delay in my response to the news!
It took me awhile to find the notice of your elevation - I had to go down to the cellar, with a torch, (this was complicated because) the stairs were gone .. I eventually found it on display in the bottom of a locked filing cabinet stuck in a disused lavatory with a sign on the door saying Beware of the Leopard
Congratulation! Douglas would be proud!
wow
Yay for MQ!
The Poohs are really starting to pile up. Must be the season.
I would also like to add to the accolades. Congratulations!Is the crown very heavy?
I will always remember you as the one who introduced me to colors. You are surely one of my admired AWADers.

Thanks to all for your kind words. I am of course, really just a PoohBahlet, A page in the service of our esteemed senior PBs.
Kudos, Max!
With the Pooh-Bahdom becoming more populous, will there now be levels of Pooh-Bahhood?
or have I missed a discussion of what comes next?
Congrads Max! You'll make a grand Pooh-Bah. While I dream of someday making it out of newbie-hood.
Mubarak ho Max Sahab.
As long as you know that there's nothing remotely pukka sbout me! Namaste, Avy
Congrats on your new rank, Max. Now, who attained this exalted position the fastest, so we know who to watch for the next ranking.
Bingley
who attained this exalted position the fastest?
(Trumpets in chorus!-e)
Tsuwm, Jackie, Max in that order.
tsuwm was there first but Jackie has outstripped him and looks to be our first Tigg-Guh. (Hi E)
Whenever *that may strike.
In reply to:
Tsuwm, Jackie, Max in that order.
But is that still true if we allow for different starting dates?
Bingley
All hail Thane Max.
Has Glorious Founder invented a new title above Poohbah? I'm sure the Tremendous Trinity are looking forward to new laurels.
Right, Bingley & Faldage. It's not a question of who was there first, but how fast they [sic] got to the next level. I've been around forever. But I'm not yet a Pooh-Bah.
Faldage points out:
tsuwm was there first but Jackie has outstripped him and looks to be our first Tigg-Guh.Yeah (ya think!?). I picture tsuwm as Pooh-Bah, Jackie as Tig-Guh (nice orthography there, Old Hand) and Johnny-come-lately Max as either Roo (yes I've learned Oz is the W.I.) or Pig-Let (reference to his Bah-let, let there be no mistake(
)
Tsuwm, Jackie, Max in that order.

Just giving the elevated status as bestowed - in order.
Or perhaps "Date of Rank" is better choice. In military, for example, if you have two Majors the one with the earlier date of rank takes precedence.
OH! theheckwithit. We love 'em - all three!
Could we be close to the end of the troika as Jackie approaches (at lightning speed) the 2000 mark?
What could *possibly top 'pooh-bah'?
musick man muses Could we be close to the end of the troika at the 2000 mark?
I'm betting no, as that would be far too predictable. now, 2100....
far too predictable
Maybe Anu is betting we think it won't be that predictable and will make it 2000 just to fool us.
... or maybe Pooh-Bah's the last stop.
... or maybe Pooh-Bah's the last stop.
One would hope not.

Maybe Anu is betting we think it won't be that predictable and will make it 2000 just to fool us.
I think we've already detirmined that Anu plays no part in creating the titles. It's those crazy computer programers
Or maybe Anu made the next milestone 2001, so when we get to 2000 and nothing happens then we'll think it will be at 2100, and when Jackie makes one more post and gets to 2001 it'll really suprise us. [hmmmm emoticon]
3.141592654...I think you're getting too wrapped up in the details and minutiae.
... and I think pi decided he wasn't being annoying enough as a mere dog, so he's insinuating on two fronts now.
No, he decided he would post only if A) he became a member, or B) he got a new name.
jimthedog
Or, in the interest of formality,
that's Mr. 3.14159
