Who gave me my custom title?

[plpenn]

It's almost as good as mine ^^^ It took 3 days to find where I had said this! It's all in fun and I don't mind...

[AACJ]

Hell, mine is a combination of 4 or 5 things I've said..

[plpenn]

It could be worse! a few days ago I rember you saying "Granted I'm anal retentive...."

[Mike H]

Ahoy, and congratulations.

An observation I've made: if you post a thread in the Barber Shop about a pet peeve or some behavior by your fellow man that drives you up a wall, a custom title is almost sure to come from it.

Take mine, for example...

Custom titles are bestowed, generally speaking, as a good-humoured form of mild ribbing in response to something funny, embarassing or unintended that the member in question posted. Occasionally they are more 'level-headed' rewards for some special service, and of course at a certain level of Contribution one can request a CT.

In a long answer.....yes.

Do you have an official stamped blue facillitating custom title change explanation of change release form filled out in triplicate?

Noooo ... it needs to be in quadruplet. To use one in triplicate, you first need to obtain a Penta-layer Form (blue facillitating custom title change explanation of change release form) D-17 Excemption Request Authorisation Request Form, which must be filled out and countersigned by three Mods. In the event that you cannot get three Mods to countersign, you can submit the form countersigned by Five Stewards along with the Tri-Mod Countersign Penta-layer Form (blue facillitating custom title change explanation of change release form) D-17 Excemption Request Authorisation Request Form Exemption form, which you need submit only in triplicate, but which must be countersigned by four Mods.

... heck, that's the NICE one ... you should have seen what I wanted you to end up with.

This comment has placed an image in my head of a council of solemn, stone-faced moderators in a ghoulishly lit room and seated around a glittering black conference table. You were arguing your case for whatever horrible custom title you wanted to visit upon me, and some other faceless, less malicious moderator seated at the table tried to reason with you and talk you down from your cruel pronouncement. Lightning may or may not have shot from someone's fingertips.

I don't know if that's how it really happened, but that's what your comment put into my mind...

[M80]

OK, now one question has been somewhat answered as who did it.
That would be a moderator(s).

As to my other question of why?
As in "Howdy Sailor".
Would that moderator or moderators care to enlighten me?

Maybe it's that snappy Navy Pea Coat you bought an the Army/Navy store in Boston.

[David in Boston]

Thank you for removing it.

[Doc4]

Thank you for removing it.

Well, we may be evil, but we're not ...

God, I love custom title threads

no good comes from getting involved with them..

[johnnyxxl]

But before that did you fill out the aplication for permission to ask about custom titles.

[captp]

no good comes from getting involved with them..

I disagree, Master Obiwan. Good threads come from that.

Five bucks says you have a much funnier and/or crueller one within the week. Drawing the mods attention to oneself is never a good idea!

[RichGem]

This guy knows the answer.

I literally spit out my coffee. That guy is such a head case.

I don't think truer words have ever been spoken.

[Walter Sobchak]

And all this time I thought David loved Sailor fountain pens...

[SiBurning]

You just have to go with the flow and accept that you're going to be repeatedly smacked in the face by the paddle creatures under the sand of Vogsphere whenever you have an independent thought.

Resistance is useless!

[professorchaos]

David, I believe questioning the reasoning of the Mods is somewhat like trying to teach a pig to sing; it's a waste of your time and just makes the pig angry.

Heinlein. Well done.

Very true. Unless, of course, you want something memorable. There are razor sharp minds waiting to pounce on and twist unwitting posts. All in good fun naturally.

[captp]

Heinlein. Well done.

Heinlein? Really? I thought for sure I got that from my dad; he never read Heinlein, but I read a lot of him. Maybe I just thought he was as smart as Heinlein and got them confused.
