I have been a ‘lurker’ from work for the past several years. This has been one of my favorite sites all this time and just never made an account because of being at work. But today made the account and want to let Drew, Mr. C, and everyone know this site is very much apprecaited by many of us ‘silent’ readers. We love you much.

Thank you very much~*.
Did I mention I am the only Republican voice in my graduate school program? Being a political degree and graduating this semester, the barking-moonbat has been a priceless comfort (and laughs) to me.

Congratulations Drew!
Let the games begin!
pint hell!! how about a 6-pack?? congrats Mr C., on making a natural and perfect choice for a partner!! drew is .............always been my choice. hey drew! how about a brief bio for everyone? don’t slow down on the rimshots though. this ought to be fun!!!
Congratulations Drew and Thank You for keeping BMEWS in business - and Welcom muse.
To be honest, I had thoght it was a foregone conclusion. I mean, look at who posts and who comments, how often, and whose are most consistently well thought out and always looking for a place to put some humor to soften the blow… given that, I thought it obvious that Drew and Peiper were partners in BMEWS in all but name ever since I’ve been here.
Folks like Wardmama and I may make decent noncoms, but Mr. C, Drew and Peiper are the truly dangerous ones. You know, the guys with the map, the compass and the voice of command.
Okay, after that comment I guess I better go find a place to hide.Thank ya, thank ya very much. My favorite brew is Fuller’s London Porter, so you might have to pass the hat to buy a round. Great stuff, but darned pricey over here.
GoF makes a good point, but I’d like to toss in that anybody can be a regular here. We’ve had a fair amount of turnover in the past 2 years, so new voices are always welcome. You don’t have to be Jane Brain or Penelope Pundit to put up a comment. We get 1100 folks a day visiting here, and most don’t say a thing. But they come back, so we must be doing something right. Or doing something really wrong, so folks check in to see how bad things are. Nah, couldn’t be ... besides, that’s what Britney is for.
Welcome aboard to museofcheerios! Pull up a chair, pour yourself a cold one, and get yourself an avatar! You have my pity, being neck deep in lefty-land, at least to May. Don’t let them find out you think differently until you escape. Grad school can be hell, but you can vent all you want here if necessary. (besides, I figure a guy with a Masters Degree can actually write. I know, I’m always Mr. Naive.)
As far as I can tell, Allan’s last post was “We’re gonna need a bigger shovel”, and I’ll take that as a directive. One of his best tenets was “keep talking to each other”, and that’s what I’ll try to do.
This was also the Skipper’s, but tonight it’s for Mr. C.
Smoochies!!

PROST!!!!!!!!!!!!! Drew, you and those who’ve kept this running, Mr C, all, Pieper, etc. I love this place. I’ve been here since I stumbled on it Many Yarns ago. Thanks for keeping the Skippers legacy.
The Barking Moonbats can not be happy. Good job Mr. Christian and thanks to both of you gentleman for keeping this site alive. KJJ
As someone who lurks mostly, comments less, and posts by proxy through Mr. C but overall I have incredible respect for ya’ll (from the south you know). I appreciate the time everyone here takes to post and comment. Now off to moonbat headquarters (I work for the feds!!!)
peiper, your enthusiasm is the glue that sort of holds everything together around here.
thanks for egging me on the last few days. its nice to feel appreciated.
i’ll try posting more but the words just don’t flow that easily for me (it must be a side effect of mixing way too much weed with a public school education - say NO to public school education). the reality is, i’m never really happy with anything i write so when I do post something, I’ve gone through a rather painstaking process that can only be described as compulsive editing disorder.
sometimes it takes me way too long to hit that damn submit button, sometimes i never get around to hitting the submit button at all.
Pieper, we can get you those cheerios <nudge,nudge>. Yes, I gave my cover up by trying to elighten the masses. But I haven’t made too many foes doing so and walked the line good enough to keep a nice GPA. So I am sweating blood and bullets and grinding teeth many times (did I mention doing the Homer Simpson slap and “Doh”?).
-And Ecolihapns, hello neighbor. Moonbat headquarters is also my ‘day-job’. My day-job for the last several years is working for one of those gubberment contractors on a military base. I feel your pain~*. Thank you everyone for the great welcome. The pleasure is all mine.

Museof, Kuso, and others ... this is exactly what posting is like. You have a thought, you write down a couple paragraphs, then you go over it and over it and over it. Then you think a link or two would help. Add a hat-tip to your source. Figure a couple pics of Selma Hayek in a bikini would help (hey they couldn’t hurt, right?). Next thing ya know an hour has snuck by.
Best tip I can give is to write your piece in Word first, check spelling and grammar, and test all your links first. Then upload the thing at one go.
Next bit of advice is to never post when drunk, wasted, or too angry to think straight. If you dash off something and don’t wind up rereading it 5 times before submitting it you’ll probably miss something, or say something you might regret.
Peiper - when I get the keys to the kingdom I’ll take a look at that. If you have a list of quotes I’d like to see them too.
Great news! I’m always reading, in my Google Reader, and can’t wait to see BMEWS outfitted for the coming election. We’re going to need some help in this cycle, or we’ll all be looking up at Democrats smiling down at us. Underfoot. A poor perspective, huh?
If you need some pshop work, lemme know. I take requests!
Glad to hear you’re happy. Drew is clearly one of the good guys.
That said, I would strongly advise you guys to “legalize” your arrangement, in writing.
I’d also advise drew be a “49% partner”, not for any reason related to Drew,but rather to human nature.
I’ve seen a number of good sites eventually lost to irreconcilable differences between volunteer staff. Someone must retain ownership—legal and otherwise—to avoid problems later.
Spelling everything out up front ensures fewer problems later.
No, you don’t think it’s necessary. It’s not going to happen to us. That’s what every couple says, yet ~60% end up divorced. Iron out a pre-nup now.
