Originally posted by: Yoda Is Your Father That is a good point, but Adam and I have recently indulged in a public display of affection, which means I cannot take the fact that you are not him as my sole reason for appointing you manager. Any other reasons?
no...not being AWK was my strongest selling point. and now that there is another volunteer that is also not AWK, i'll rescind my offer & sit back down
Because I'm mysterious. Nobody really knows what I'm going to do next. So, while you're being mysterious behind the scenes, I'll be in front of the scenes being just as mysterious.
Because I'm frank. I don't mangle words. If there's something you need to know, I'll tell you, and there won't be any question about my intentions.
Because I'm a politician. I know what to say to whom and how to say it to elicit the proper response.
Because I'm Canadian. Living in Canada, the second-largest country by land mass, I know how to make someone disappear. I did it to myself once and didn't get homee for six weeks.
Because I have a name few people pronounce correctly. That garners respect.
Because I just used the word "garner". That's key.
Because I'm creative. I'd be willing to bet you didn't think I'd have so many reasons.
Originally posted by: Yoda Is Your Father That was a damn good response. And very quick too.
The fact that you are Canadian is in your favour, because I'm English, and we need to boost the non-American presence.
Took longer than I would have liked because I started a sneezing fit while I was typing it. But, my speed could very well be another reason you might choose me.
I'll have to make sure, then, to use "honour" and "colour" and the letter "zed" as often as possible.
Thank you, YIYF. I hope to do you proud as the new manager of your company. Now to put that in my sig.
[acceptance speech]
I would like start of by thanking everyone that made this position possible. Yoda is Your Father, thank you. Second, I would like to extend an offer of friendship to all previous employees, friends, and benefactors of the now defunct Warbler Inc. We ask for your support during this time of transition, and hope to show you the same welcoming environment you enjoyed in the past. To enemies of the former Warbler Inc, we offer forgiveness for past sins in hopes that we can build new bridges and move forward into a time of peace and prosperity for all.
Again, thank you all for giving me this wonderful opportunity, and I hope to get to know you all in the coming days.

AND THE COMPANY'S STOCK JUST DROPPED THROUGH THE FLOOR.
Admittedly, we are experiencing growing pains, but we here at FrobozzCo are confident that these will subside as we forge new links within the community.
Actually, Dayv, your mention of chains was almost spot on. I was hoping to keep it a surprise, but FrobozzCo is carefully considering its options as a franchise-based company, with Frobozz chains in message boards across the country and around the world.
Well, I hope that goes well for you. YIYF and I still have to run an inventory and determine how many employees we actually have. How I became the GM, I'll never know.
Do you have any previous qualifications in the area of testing lamps, axes, swords, bridge controls and other treasures? What about Grue-breeding? What are your qualifications? Do you have a reference I can contact?
To enemies of the former Warbler Inc, we offer forgiveness for past sins in hopes that we can build new bridges and move forward into a time of peace and prosperity for all.
I think this an unwise decision. The enemies of Warbler Inc must be dealt with or you will be seen as weak. Or are you just going by the old saying "keep you friends close, but your enemies closer"? One piece of advice. Do not trust the Mangler Bros. They will use every means at their disposal to defeat you and put you out of business. You must be willing to do the same to them.
BTW: I am announcing that I will now be working as an independent contractor for hire.
Finally sybeman, I would like to buy one of those 'IMMORTAL-B-GONE' Blades. How much and how soon can I get it?
Thank you, Warbler, for your poignant advice. I will keep that in mind. I don't like to reveal my true intentions before I attack...I mean, find it necessary.
As for your request, the 'IMMORTAL-B-GONE' blade is on special this week for the low price of 1100 rundies. We also carry the 'LIVING-DEAD-B-GONE' and 'INNOCENT-LOOKING-PUPPIES-WHO-ARE-REALLY-RATS-B-GONE' blades.
Willing? Hell, I'd give 'em away! I'd pay you to take them off my hands, if that was financially viable. Little vermin are everywhere! Who's idea was it to breed Grues anyway?
