Spokesman wanted: apply within. 2 nominations, 3 more needed.

keets · August 11, 2003 4:22AM

Hello all. We're currently experiencing a deluge of hot tempers, quick replies and just in general normal behavior here at the PCGS U.S. Coin Forum. While most find it to be somewhere between humorous and educational, some evidentally have a shorter supply of patience and/or appreciation of the forum way of life. To that end, we'd like to offer a Spokesman Of The Day service, free of course.

Only one problem------finding each days suitable spokesman!!!

Please submit your comments within this thread which may help our selection. PM a worthy choice and consideration will be given all candidates on a but is he a butthead or not basis. Your replies will be kept in the strictest of confidence.

Thanks.

i have received 2 nominations who have passed the "butthead" test, 3 more needed before the election.

I would certainly choose Russ as a spokesman. He is funny, perceptive, and ALWAYS gets his facts straight. He is the person with whom I would least like to go into a flame war. If nothing else, that should qualify him for SOTD.

Russ · August 11, 2003 4:31AM

RYK,

I'm too blunt to be a spokesperson. I need a spokesperson.

Russ, NCNE

ill take care of philly joe for russ

ill send sheriff doodie slab

keets · August 11, 2003 4:33AM

hey RYK

one of the rules of the "Spokesman" program is that a spokesman cannot be member who needs a spokesman!! that automatically disqualifies Russ as a choice.

so sorry to be the bearrer of bad news.

Russ, I'll be your spokesman.

Here's an audition - "Kennedy's suck!"

Whoops, I forgot that I need to be diplomatic - "It is conceivable (though not necessarily a given) that Kennedys are not quite so beautiful or desirable as a number of the orchids I have seen".

mdwoods · August 11, 2003 4:38AM

Allow me to be the spokeperson. I can be very, very clear when I have to be.

Russ · August 11, 2003 4:39AM

Mark,

I liked the first version better. Makes me feel right at home.

Russ, NCNE

As seriously as I can take this thread, I nominate Mark Feld as SOTD for every day of the week, 52 weeks a year, for as long as he lives.

EVP

ccr · August 11, 2003 4:47AM

I nominate gmarguli as spokesman for homerunhall.

Wolfy00002 · August 11, 2003 4:57AM

Aw hell, I'll nominate Cameron.

If I don't, he'll try to nominate himself anyway, so I'll save him trouble.

keets · August 11, 2003 4:57AM

ROTFLMAO!!!!

no wonder we have so much trouble here. noone bothers to follow the rules!! as yet no PM's at "Spokesman Central" though i have seen several buttheads named.

as Lone Waddie said, "We shall endeavor to persevere"!!

<< <i>no wonder we have so much trouble here. noone bothers to follow the rules!! as yet no PM's at "Spokesman Central" though i have seen several buttheads named. >>

Keets, your comment, below, was ambiguous - you sought "comments within this thread" and you said "PM a worthy choice". I think people did follow the rules, in commenting within the thread, even if they did not PM you.

Not Greg, he always was too tactful and never was able to get his point across.

Mark, as for your orchards, they are a parasitic plant, they dont got no pretty smell

and PCGS wont slab em.

keets · August 11, 2003 5:20AM

hey Abe

your abominable use of the English language has eliminated you from any consideration as a spokesman and causes your monitor status to be in danger of revocation!!

in short, go check the orchids out in the orchard!! ROTFLMAO!!!

..........ah, monsignor coindude, there have been good comments but, alas, far to many nominations within the thread context to illicit your perfunctory reply.

Bear · August 11, 2003 5:23AM

Keets, I have never been revocated. Is it very painful?

keets · August 11, 2003 5:34AM

.......i'll say this much, my last revocation contained a reference to the good people at The Shinola Shoe Polish Company.

baccaruda · August 11, 2003 5:36AM

I'd agree that Mark Feld would make a good SOTD. I don't think I've ever seen him make a bone-headed comment, pretentious remark, or even fire-up in the slightest. Cool as a cucumber and armed with the facts.

Mark, have you considered running for office (not that those virtues are typical of our elected officials)?

ccr · August 11, 2003 5:39AM

I`m offical now. I PM`ed keets to disqualify myself as a potential derriere.

keets · August 11, 2003 5:47AM

hey barracuda

Mark is indeed one of us, he just manages to temper himself better than most. he had his day in the sun when he couldn't hack it and decided to quit. we slathered some praise on him and he recanted!! heck, i think i even wrote a slightly sarcastic limmerick about the whole deal.

now we all just can't bear the thought of ragging on him!!

though as yet un-nominated, he may manage to pass the butthead test!!

baccaruda · August 11, 2003 5:49AM

I nominate Mark as Official Forum Arbitrator, and Cladking as his Consigliari.

Bear · August 11, 2003 5:49AM

Maybe we should see if we could interest" Baghdad Bob" in the position.

That is if we can get him released from allied custody.

paigowjohnny · August 11, 2003 5:54AM

Everybody jump on the dorkkarl bandwagon !!!!

cherrypickincoin · August 11, 2003 5:56AM

Can we recall this election if we don't like the outcome?
