Welcome aboard, matey! Grab some grog, swab some poop decks, and regale us with your vast stores of buried knowledge!
(Here be the thread to welcome Kaleb, aka "Hucklebubba", to the MRFH crew)

I guess I was a little tired this morning when I posted this, because I failed to mention that Huckle's just impressed us over the years at MRFH with his humor, love of movies and his writing style. We didn't invite him in on a whim, but because he really has earned it, and we just had to snap him up before The Onion did.

Wait, you mean The Onion was interested in me too? Crap!
Actually, I'd rather be here anyhow. Those guys tend to be a tad prickish, and I'm afraid I wouldn't stand out there at all.

Yes, but The Onion pays money, not "super-duper back rubs" from Kyle.
Glad to have you aboard, Kaleb! May the vortex in the basement never claim you as its own!

Yes, welcome aboard! May the vortex in the basement never claim you as its own! Yeah. About that. You might want to step around that remnant of indoor-outdoor carpeting we have down there. Also, try not to carry any magnets. Edited to add: Incidentally, when Justin said, "...we just had to snap him up before The Onion did", he's not talking about the knee-slapping periodical that we all know and love. Nope, The Onion stalks the corridors of MRFH as the result of someone who will remain anonymous ( Al) leaving his Outback Steakhouse (tm) leftovers in the refrigerator right next to one of Lissa's bio-fuel experiments, (or possibly it was a curry) for the duration of several months. The combination of these lethal substances spawned " The Onion", a semi-sentient creature roughly the size of a 1968 Volkswagon bus with a voracious appetite and really bad breath. It was quite an amazing rescue really. I liked the part with the grappling hook particularly. Wish you guys could have seen it. |

So does that mean that I might get an invite if my reviews ever look "good enough"? I was just wondering if the Reader Review section means that you'll no longer have "staffing periods" where you're looking for people, and instead the Reader Review section may replace that process?
EDIT: Oh, and congrats Kaleb, I've always liked reading everything that you've written, review or otherwise. I've always thought you have a great attitude.

To quote from the rules portion of the Readers Reviews part of the forum: So, no, the short answer is that the "Reader Reviews" posts will not (and have not) replaced the traditional application process. Writing awesome reviews can get you noticed by those who do the hiring though, a definite advantage when we're sorting through a few gazillion apps. |

. . ."super-duper back rubs" from Kyle. Woo-hoo! I'll be going through that line at least twice! Er, that is. . .yes, Drew, you are correct. Money would indeed be more. . .practical. The combination of these lethal substances spawned " The Onion", a semi-sentient creature roughly the size of a 1968 Volkswagon bus with a voracious appetite and really bad breath. Yeah, seems the ray shielding surrounding my hovel is ineffective against biological entities. Does a fine job of preventing the government from stealing my thoughts, though! |
