Welcome, Brent, and congratulations. You have some big shoes to fill, but at least you paid attention to the guru for long enough to have a real start on knowing the job. Glad to have you in that chair,

Lee

You shotgunnrs are doomed. DOOOooomed, I tell you!

shortwave · December 1, 2012, 11:55 PM

Don't you go gettin all uppity on us hogs...still wanna hear that 'down to earth' wisdom of yours.

Congrats and you'll do great.

therealdeal · December 2, 2012, 12:08 AM

like Sarge said to his platoon leader when he went to officer school...."have fun on the dark side."

olddrum1 · December 2, 2012, 12:55 AM

Yeah, like babysitting all of us is like winning the lottery. Good luck.

**hogdogs** · December 2, 2012, 09:10 AM

I will always be the down to earth (I done heard what happens when you make wings and try to fly to the sun) redneck feller...

One nice thing about this spot to moderate is it is generally quite civil and not a bunch of off topic stuff to worry with as some of the sections of TFL...

Granted... Those of us who have used this section for more than a few months or a year realize the zombie gun threads and other such nonsense DOES reoccur on an almost predictable schedule

Right now we seem to be in an appreciated slump which will give me time to settle in and get used to this...

Brent

2damnold4this · December 2, 2012, 06:25 PM

It's good to see you taking the reins.

12GaugeShuggoth · December 2, 2012, 08:24 PM

Congrats.......just make sure to belittle the mall ninjas on a regular basis...oh and remind people that a shotgun doesn't need 12 different battery powered attachments to function.

They forget to inform you of having to keep Staff supplied with Shiner Bock year round.

So basically you are in the hole from the get-go. *grin*

Sending best, and let me know if I can be of any assistance.
