There has been some talk that I might be the first non-moderator to get a fifth star and the current classification might be "Little Green guy" in reference to the little guy on the spaceship that runs things like the earpieces.
I do not disagree that this might work for some people, but I like to think outside the box a little and I thought I would see what everyone thought on the boards...maybe one of these will bring joy to so many people that the moderators will make it the new fifth star.
Here we go!

Keep in mind that this fifth star ranking should logically fall into place between Superhero and Greenguy, which is why it is very tough to find a good name for the fifth star. You may ask yourself: would Palmer, Harlan, or Carlisle be a higher-ranked name than Ralph? Not to knock your suggestions, but as I said, this is not easy...  |

MelMac's bitch??? Awesome. My first big laugh of the day (not that I hate working here and talking to idiots on the phone all day long who keep asking me the same stupid questions, but...)  |

I think this would be higher ranking than Ralph, but possibly beneath a green guy...or beneath a little one.  And I agree, MyTatuo, that this is hard. That is why I figured you would go for "little green guy", but "mouth-breather" was an ode to you. |

Technically, no, they are not higher than Ralph. Maybe I should have put JJ Beck as a possibility. He is technically higher than Ralph.  |

You forgot to vote for it then, Maxwell-FBI. Better rectify that before MelMac sees it. *Cue music for climax* This will be post #999...what lies beyond? |

Very funny, guys.  ( )(Don't worry, that's funny, I'm little bit flattered, but I don't think others will use it.) I'd probably go for little green guy, or maybe green guy assistant myself. (the little guy in "DVS" and "Vanity, Says the Preacher.") Or, then again, Ralph would work as well because he is the Greatest American Hero, which would be higher up than Superhero. |

I think he's waiting for the perfect post to use for his 1,000th post. I'm not too far from superhero, myself, so I'm trying to pace myself a little bit so I don't post a "Very funny" post as my 500th post. |

Actually, he's waiting because he wants to know AHEAD OF TIME what he will become before he hits 1000 (assuming that that is a rank threshold, mind you) Unfortunately, we are  He probably knows that the rankings are set in stone, and that we can't change them after the fact... ;D I must say, the self-control he is showing is amazing... |

So, I guess we'll wait on baited breath. ;D Then again, I've got to finish working out the kinks of my story post and post my move. (I've got to make sure I don't have Tatt singing. I almost wrote that when making my rough draft of the move, just because of lack of sleep and reading HD's posts on the thread ). |

You might want to make it a really really good cliffhanger, or maybe wrap it up and say THE END, because I have no idea when poor HoudiniDerek, "Superhero", will return....   ;D |

No wonder the guy's cranky at Ralph. (or, we'll have another spoof come into play, maybe Jim and Artie will appear with their train and say something (just kidding ) But, also at this posting, I'm a quarter a century away from a promotion myself, so it's getting to be a bit of a milestone myself. |

*Huge Sigh* Thank you, MelMac and MyTatuo for those kind words as well as not so thinly-veiled remarks about my obsession with the boards and posting. I could persevere and never return, being a perpetual superhero, but I would not want MyTatuo to develop a complex that he runs people off...oh where for art thou, JRY? Therefore, the best thing to do is post my 1,000th post and see if this makes the magic fifth star. If not, then I have no idea what would do it, but each post will now have to be one that is above and beyond simplicity itself...to ensure a good fifth star post. On this thread, I have voted "Other," because I would like to have a special ranking like billswoman received. Of course, being a Super Agent would be her forte. Therefore, I have decided that, if possible, I would like to receive a title that upholds the integrity of the show and has some symbolism, in part, with my screen name. That ranking would be: Wizard of the Fifth Ring. *Bows and exits* |

Although, MelMac's Bi+ch, is not bad...even though I cannot recreate it here. |

Will I be the only one with this ranking or is it the NEW fifth star ranking? I would not mind keeping this for a while, but is it possible to have it changed after a while? I ask for a couple of reasons: 1. I know nothing about computers and you stated in a post that they are set in stone, but I thought you changed billswoman's after the fact, so I am unsure; and 2. I would really like to be a Wizard of the Fifth Ring as the capstone of my tenure here on the board. |

I have just been informed by the moderators that I did not get a fifth star at 1,000 because it is too easy to reach. I concur with that assessment. I apologize for everyone who thought that they suddenly could get a fifth star...it is apparently above that threshold. I guess I will have to stay tuned and see. |

Yep, I guess we'll stay tuned to this same station to see what the mysterious fifth star rank is. |

And to see what magical number it requires. |

And to see what magical number it requires. Maybe 1,981, the year the show started. (Just kiddin' guys I'd rather wait for the surprise). |
