To paraphrase Shakespeare, "Heavy is the head that wears the GRANDMASTER crown". 😎

Jingle all the way!

Well played!!   

To paraphrase Count DeMonet,  "Your Majesty, this is a very serious problem. The peasants feel you have no regard for them."

To copy and paste from the script of "The Holy Grail"...     

"Man:      Well I object to your...you automatically treat me like an inferior!

Arthur:              Well I *am* king...

Man:      Oh, king, eh, very nice.  And 'ow'd you get that, eh?

(he reaches his destination and stops, dropping the cart)

By exploiting the workers!  By 'angin' on to outdated imperialist dogma

which perpetuates the economic and social differences in our society.

If there's ever going to be any progress,--

Woman:             Dennis!  There's some lovely filth down 'ere!

(noticing Arthur) Oh!  'Ow'd'ja do?

Arthur:              How do you do, good lady.  I am Arthur, king of the Britons.  Whose

castle is that?

Woman:             King of the 'oo?

Arthur: King of the Britons.

Woman:             'Oo are the Britons?

Arthur:              Well we all are!  We are all Britons!  And I am your king.

Woman:             I didn't know we 'ad a king!  I thought we were autonomous collective.

Man:      (mad) You're fooling yourself!  We're living in a dictatorship!  A

self-perpetuating autocracy in which the working classes--

Woman:             There you go, bringing class into it again...

But, Count De Monet (Count da Money) would also know that GRAND MASTERS only use their powers for good, not evil, on this forum.  With awesome power comes awesome responsibility.  You may quote me.  😎

Of course you can! You're Grand Master Patcon!      

[Captain Obvious]

Actually I'm just here to pad my stats so I get another badge.   

[Patcon]

Whats the next badge up???

I want one!

[Captain Obvious]

I don't know how many badges there are available... All I know is that we're all chasing Cliff! 

So he's got eleven and you've only got ten. The one that he has that you don't is "Well Followed". You need to have 10 people following you to get that badge and you've only got nine. So you need to lobby JUST ONE MORE PERSON to follow you and you'll have as many badges as Cliff.

I'm two badges behind, and the one I'm chasing now is "Dedicated" (which you and Cliff both already have). It requires you to log in for seven days straight. With my hit-and-miss on-line presence, I've apparently never achieved that. I'm trying now though, starting yesterday.  Haha!!

Of course, if @Mike catches wind of any of this gaming of the system, it's all over.  LOL.  There are threads on the interwebs about this new badge system and turning it into a video game. It's designed to encourage participation and site traffic. Most people seem to like it.
