I'd like to be able to give you a good solid list, but it's probably mostly 'by gut'. But we do look for people who are somewhat established here, who seem somewhat mature and capable of dealing with the various situations that might arise.

And - in all honesty - I think there are a LOT of Mooters who could be great Moderators. So none of you should feel slighted because we settle on someone else. We've got a lot of great members, and we appreciate that.

I guess I need something like that as well. Don't know what - perhaps Galadriel's scepter, since I'm descended from her brother?
Oh wait, she didn't have one ...

No, it needs to be something rubber - that way it doesn't leave a mark. Scepters generally don't come in rubber.

Maybe if you wanted to stick with something elven, you could use a rubber birdbath?

And people wonder why I protest.

What was it that Maggie Thatcher said about sometimes needing "the smack of firm government"?

Yeah, I like that ... Galadriel's secret sceptre ... I think they're also called cattle prods or something like that ...

Oh, here's another one:

hey, wasn't there a mention of "Galadriel's taser" in one of the HoME books?

Anyway, here's another option:

Would Galadriel's Pink Feather Duster of Doom be an option?
Or is that what that picture is?

Rian's picture is such a regal feather duster, isn't it?
It sure MUST be Galadriel's Pink Feather Duster of Doom.

I claim it - because of the family connection.
And not only does it not leave a mark, but it needn't hurt too much in the first place.

Fear the Doom, though ...

hee hee - I love that name!

(and great comment, Val! )

I found it floating around on the internet (obviously Galadriel accidentally misplaced it), and I now gladly bequeath it to YOU, Varna!







(but keep that taser around for emergencies )

*Rian's Rubber Chicken of Doom cuddles up to Midge*

Don't worry, they're very nice ... unless provoked!

(and I'm sure you'll never provoke them )

Thank you, Rian!
