[Call Me Wesley]

Not that it really counts, though. But I can't let Strong Atheist down not to include me in the next Milestone thread. How post-whoring is that? :cry: ;)

[Lil Missy]

1. How long were you a mod? Would you do it again?

[TZ]

2. I would like to second asking you if you would mod again

You had some of the best locking messages EVER! :)

[Call Me Wesley]

5. See response below,

and thank you! :blush:

[Call Me Wesley]

4. LOL! This is the only mod-related question I'll answer. ;)

With breaks within, something over two years I guess, and yes, I'd do it again if needed. But it's nice to not be one, too. It's a great experience, though, and a view behind how DU works, if you have the time to indulge in it, and it takes time if you're really being serious about it.

:hug:

:P Early congrats on your milestone. :hi:

[Call Me Wesley]

12. Thanks for the congrats,

[Sky Masterson]

[Broken_Hero]

[Call Me Wesley]

27. Here's Superpetersond in all his glory!

[Broken_Hero]

[Bertha Venation]

11. What do you think of the weather you're having?

*admits she has no idea what kind of weather Wesley's having*

[Call Me Wesley]

21. Hmm, let me see ...

*grabs iPhone for the weather*

Sunny, 65° F, slight breeze. Looks like this:



:hug:

[Bertha Venation]

44. Wow.

A beautiful picture. Thank you. :hug:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

13. My dear Call Me Wesley!

Have you ever been out of Europe?

Congrats on your milestone!

:toast:

[Call Me Wesley]

22. Thank you for the congrats!

Out of Europe yes, but not in the US during Bush. This year we might consider a trip there. :)

Here's a magnolia for you:

[REP]

14. Haben Sie eine Stinktier?

I took German for Absurdists. I also know how to ask about something obscene andabsurd but I don't know if Heidi's around to confirm the answer.

[Call Me Wesley]

25. Obscene, eh?

Nö, kein Stinktier hier, ich habe freshly geshowered! ;)

And I took German for Nihilists! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kv8FZMdqYJo


Good to see you! :hug:

[Jamastiene]

19. Have you got any good silhouettes of

trees across a creek at night? Or a blue moon? (not a blue moon as in second moon, but a blue moon as in a blue haze over the Moon)

[Call Me Wesley]

29. Uh, sorry, no.

Just an old tree in daylight reflecting on the tidal pool here:



And my moon pics really suck ... :(

[Haole Girl]

20. Anything?

One December evening, late, you said you had some very sad news. Then you never responded to the many inquiries about your cryptic thread. I know you may never tell us, but my curiosity persists. So... are you ever going to tell what that was about? :shrug:

[Call Me Wesley]

32. Uh oh, though one,

I think I posted that the news weren't so sad to begin with. Was my dumbest thread ever and rightfully deleted.

Still feel like this about it:

[Haole Girl]

34. Thank you

I'm glad the news wasn't as sad as you first thought. Hope I didn't embarrass you. Who knows why I remember things like that!

[Gormy Cuss]

24. Do you ever wonder why the Alps are known by a French or Celtic name?

Why not German or Italian?
:hi:

[Call Me Wesley]

35. Never heard of the Celtic name for them?

'Alpi' in Italian and 'Alpen' in German. And here's one part of it we see everyday:



:hi:

[Gormy Cuss]

37. Some etymologies think the term originally came from a Gaelic (Celtic) one.

I find that curious and unlikely.
Most trace it from Latin>French.

I knew that I'd get a nice picture for that question!

[Call Me Wesley]

39. Interesting.

I'll see into it deeper, but since the alps were caused by the African continent a few million years ago, I also find it unlikely that this would be a Gaelic name, given the geography.

[BuelahWitch]

26. Don't hate me, but for a moment I had you confused with Wetzelbill

Peggy's post had me wondering how you could have run for president if you were in Europe...DOH! :freak:

[Call Me Wesley]

36. LOL!

Wetzelbill would kick my ass! ;) And, believe me, I have no intent to run for President whatsoever.

Perhaps the leader of the Resistance, though ...



;)

[LeftyFingerPop]

31. Do you kiss your honey when your nose is runny?

[Call Me Wesley]

38. My honey is in a jar,

and why should I kiss it, with runny nose or without? What do you think I am, some honey-kissing pervert? I put it in my whiskey everyday, and had not a runny nose for twenty years!!11!!!

33. Why does the Swiss Army need a knife?

[Call Me Wesley]

40. They don't, unless they want to open a beer bottle.

It's a PR thing that has nothing to do with the Swiss Military since WWII, but we want you to buy the knife, and then chocolate. And after that, get a Swiss bank account and feel as neutral as you can!

Here's the Swiss Air Force for you:



:hi:

[mvd]

41. Are you going to moderate again sometime?

I love working with you. :hi:

[Call Me Wesley]

42. We'll see.

Right now I'm pretty happy to just be another DU member. ;)

Was great working with you, too! You remember when we did all the nifty car tricks with the mod mobile? ;)

[mvd]

43. Yes, and you had great lock messages

Just perfect for the Lounge. :-)

[greatauntoftriplets]

45. What's the weather like in Switzerland today?

:hi:

On edit: I see that you were asked and answered this question earlier in the thread.

We had pretty much the same in Chicago today, though a few degrees cooler.

Just wanted to say hello and help you get to 30,000 posts.

[Call Me Wesley]

47. Hello!

:hug:

It's actually much warmer today, 68° F right now but it should be raining tomorrow. :(

And soon the frogs will take over my pond again:

[hippywife]

46. Yaaaa! I'm not too late.

Hugs to you and Heidi! My favorite DU couple! Really enjoy having you both here! :hug:

[Call Me Wesley]

48. Why thank you!

Enjoying you too! :hug:

Here's a waterlily from last year:

[hippywife]

55. How beautiful!

I really, really love it! Thank you so much! :hug:

[NewJeffCT]

49. Have you met many DUers in person?

well, besides Heidi?

[Call Me Wesley]

51. No, Heidi's the only one so far.

Not many around here I guess. ;)

For you it's a sight into the Swiss, Italian and French alps from here:

[NewJeffCT]

52. great view

I think we may not get to Switzerland when we go to Italy next month...

[tigereye]

50. hey there! What good dinners have you guys made lately?

:hi:

[Call Me Wesley]

53. Hmmm ...

Yesterday I made pasta with muscles and veggies, and today Heidi makes a spinach quiche. I'd say we have pretty good dinners except for the nights none of us is in the mood to cook, then it's just pizza or ramen (Heidi likes pizza, though, and I'll sacrifice for that.) ;)

:hi:

Since your username always reminds me of my tigereye mala, here's Shakyamuni for you:

[tigereye]

54. lovely! thanks CMW

:hug: for you guys!
