* the following is not a paid or unpaid advertisement, but Moo making up a funny song. I love being a Guide
Boy:
Whew! You sure gotta climb a lot of steps to get
to the front office here at SI. But I
wonder who that sad little cow is?
I'm just a Guide.
Yes, I'm only a Guide.
And I'm sitting here off to the side.
Well, it's a long, long journey
To the Mod Dungeon.
It's a long, long wait
While I'm sitting in committee,
But I know I'll be a Mod some day
At least I hope and pray for that ride
But today I am still just a Guide.
Boy:
Gee, Guide, you certainly have a lot of patience and courage.
Guide:
Well, I got this far. When I started I wasn't even a Guide, I was just an new member. Some folks back home decided they wanted some Guides, so they called their local Mod, and he said, "You're right, there oughta be a Guides." Then he sat down and wrote the role out and introduced guides to SI. And I became a Guide, and I'll remain a Guide until they decide to make me a mod. (or kick me out lol)
I'm just a Guide
Yes I'm only a Guide,
And I got as far here on my ride.
Well, now I'm stuck in committee
And I'll sit here and wait
While a few key Moderaters discuss and debate
Whether they should let me be a mod.
How I hope and pray that they will,
But today I am still just a guide.
Boy:
Listen to those Moderators arguing! Is all that
discussion and debate about you.
Guide:
Yeah, I'm one of the lucky ones. Most bills never
even get this far. I hope they decide to report on
me favorably, otherwise I may die.
Boy:
Die?
Guide:
Yeah, die in committee. Ooh, but it looks like I'm
gonna live! NOW I go to the House of
Admins, and they vote on me.
Boy:
if they vote yes, what happens?
Guide:
Then I go to the Dungeon do some more fundraisers and the whole thing starts all over again.
Boy:
Oh no!
Guide:
Oh yes!
I'm just a Guide
Yes, I'm only a Guide
And if they vote for me to be by their
Well, then I'm off to the g2g
Where I'll wait in a line
With a lot of other people
To eat and dine
And if complete the Shot, then I'll be a Mod.
HOW I hope and pray that they don't hide
But today I am still just a Guide.
Boy:
You mean even if the whole Dungeon says you
should be a Mod, the Adminstrators can still say no?
Guide:
Yes, that's called a veto. If the Administrators vetoes me, I have to go back to Dungeon and they vote on me again, and by that time you're so old ...
Boy:
By that time it's very unlikely that you'll become a mod. It's not easy
to become a mod, is it?
Guide:
No!
But how I hope and pray that for that ride, But today I am still just a guide.
MAN:
He . . . . wha-wha-whaaaaa. You're still just a Guide
