Noticed it also.. not entirely sure I'm happy about being an 'adjunct'.. guess I'll have to start replying to each and every one of Dwights posts to work my way up  (At least I only have 30 or so more to go until it changes to 3/4 throttle) Cheers, Brad

Hmm, since things are being changed, does that mean there is a chance photopost might work again someday?

If that list is correct why are you "Loquacious" for 2500 additional posts when most above that change every 500? At that rate I'll change this year to Loquacious and be there for the next 4-5 years.

Beer at the meeting would explain the math. At my rate, I'll soon be "Learned Hand" for the next 3 years. Luckily, probably never make it to "Check Pants".

"Did i miss something?"
Heck, I think we all miss something. I have a laundry list. Has anyone seen my pocket knife lying about. Now that I bought a new one, the old one is sure to turn up.
What was the question again??

So once you, Dwight, Ian, and the others that have been here since the beginning get up past 15000 posts, I wonder what the next stop will be after iron butt???? I guess I'll just have to stay tuned

I'm sure we'll come up with something. All I know is I need to post another 80 times or so to get to Should be Riding and get past Bearing Changer. That doesn't even make sense. But I have a way to go before hitting Iron Butt.

Ok, I'll bite. What does rozmowny mean? I can't find a definition. While I know Loquacious means chatty, rozmowny is going right over my head.

Good question?? Rozmowny ?? The answer's either buried in one of those indecipherable pages listed by "google" or possibly a little known Triple A shortstop who appeared briefly in the bigs for the White Sox in 1971?? Then again I could be wrong  jh

Adjunct !!! Gone from 'member' to a nearly unknown grammatical structure which is "not the main structural element of the sentence", or meaning "Something added or joining", or "Assistant". Hardly the dashing, clever, sage image I had of myself.  I was also alarmed by the resulting adj(ective) when I transposed a couple of letters.  (Ahem, Can I please speak to the manager.) I bet there's more Adjunct members than any of the more prolific titles. WE WANT SOMETHING MORE MEANINGFUL OR SATIRICAL.  The Great Unwashed Masses

That was prosty. (I think  )

Thanks for the +1 Mountainman. I was thinking - If the inebriated elite don't change the term I will just have to post lots every day to get to 3/4 throttle. Hmmm, 500 posts to go - thats about 25 days at 20 posts a day. I apologize in advance if the content is not rivetting - afterall I'm only an adjunct. He11 - even calling us plebs (plebians) would be better - at least its insulting and not just BLAND.
Cheers, Richard

No Sir, I don't like it.
At least before we had a well defined hierarchy. Shoot, at the very least
we could go by MC terms like “Friend of the Club†“hang around†“Prospectâ€
“Member†or even a military ranking Private, Corporal, Sergeant on up
through Lieutenant, Captain, Major, ect…
Something that is well defined and maybe even has a logical order of
mathematical progression.

maybe there's something wrong with the universe!
